Explain that one, if you can.
That's an easy one.

As tectonic plates drifted due to convection in the mantle, rifts formed, which formed new crust in the gaps. Since this new crust was primarily basalt - heavier than the continental granite, and thinner than the continental plates it lay lower on the mantle than the continental plates did.

As I'm sure you're aware, water flows downhill. So, since the newly formed crust was lower than the granite continents, and as low or lower than the current ocean floor, water poured into the gaps.

YHWH Elohym divided the one land mass in the days of Peleg, by waters, after Babel's rebellion, to separate the one race by the waters of division, and by the one tongue confounded. He also shortened [yoktan] the lives of the race of Adam in the days of Yoktan, to keep the evil imaginations curtailed, until His plan for redemption for the earth was completed and He got all His sons [the seed of Adam was to have come forth as sons of God, of the human being kind], by adoption, that He lost in the fall of Adam.
The divisions of the tongue and the land began immediately, and continued to divide as men's lives were also shortened, to what they all are today.


Jasher 7:19.20
These are the generations of Shem; Shem begat Arpachshad and Arpachshad begat Shelach, and Shelach begat Eber and to Eber were born two children, the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the sons of men were divided, and in the latter days, the earth was divided.
And the name of the second was Yoktan, meaning that in his day the lives of the sons of men were diminished and lessened.

You weren't there, did not see, do not know, and cannot prove it.
The Bible and the ancient records tell us that YHWH Elohym divided the one land mass to divide the sons of Adam after Babel.

But the records left on the earth itself tell us otherwise.

The ocean floors have been dated to ~200 million years near continental boundaries, and as one moves closer to an oceanic rift, the rock gets newer, until we are able to watch new ocean floor created right at the rift.

"dates" are manipulated by those seeking them to get what they want. Others, which show that the earth is young and young rocks date as old, are ignored.
New volcanic rock is dated millions of years old, but that is ignored by those wanting to make the Word of God false.
Is the Lava Dome at Mount St. Helens Really 1 Million Years Old?

Moderator cut: Deleted as rude The "stones" also depicted such things a "brain transplants".LMAO!

It turns out that the discoverer of these stones later admitted carving them himself.

http://www.philipcoppens.com/jurassiclibrary.html

"Then, it seems, the bubble burst. A BBC TV documentary was severely critical of the Ica stones, drawing the attention of the Peruvian press and resulting in the arrest of Uschuya by the local authorities. Interrogated, he soon admitted he had carved the stones himself; he wanted to bilk the tourists and claimed he never thought it would get out of hand on such a large scale. After his release, Uschuya continued to make and sell stones, presumably with official knowledge."

Next?

I looked up the El Toro figurines and Delk tracks he keeps referencing.To say I laughed out loud is an understatement.What intelligent person can't grasp that figurines buried in soil for thousands of years will be pitted and scarred instead of looking like they just came out of the kiln.LMAO that some people can fall for this stuff.

Personally,I imagine I will be tired of the "discussions" in a short while.The lack of any intellectual integrity among them is tiring and,quite frankly,depressing.The desire to remain intentional ignorant of the facts is too overwhelming to want to continue to deal with.If a segment of the population is intent on deliberately staying ignorant because of a clash between intelligent reasoning and theology, it is not my responsibility to try and inject something besides blind allegiance to ideas that any knowledgeable 6th grader would know better than to believe in.

A recent poster wants to set up a strawman claiming that there is no mention of a "kangaroo" on the ark or in ancient middle east history -and so on and so forth, but the argument is silly, as they haven't even a clue as to what the animal would have been called.
kangaroo is not the name of the animal, but an English invention. It was called "mee-nuah" by the Aussie natives in at least one tribe's language.

Let those skeptics who want to set up their strawmen first prove that they know all the mixed tongue names for the animals they want to prove could not have possibly been on the ark, first.
Actually, why do they even want to try to make strawman arguments to claim they knock down, anyway, when they don't even believe that there was a world wide deluge to consume sin on the earth for the first time, as ancient records say?
I guess they are just looking to pat themselves on the backs as if their strawmen are wonderful genius's who can challenge God Himself.
Luckily Native Australians could swim well, considering they have been there for 40,000 years, live in a low lying part of the world and obviously survived to allow their language to continue on to this day so we could argue whether Kangaroos were in a big boat in the middle east 4000 years ago.
