In the middle of the ocean is the world’s largest feature. It is a mountain range that goes around the world 3 times. It is 70,000 kilometres long. According to NASA's seafloor dating, the ocean floor in no older than 180 million years old. Although I do not accept the long dates used in radiometric dating; this date shows that the ocean floor is extremely young compared to the (allegedly) 4.5 billion years of continent crust.

Radioactive Decay Rates May Not Be Constant After All

The Mid Ocean Ridge (MOR) is responsible for the spreading of the ocean floor. This has been discovered by dating the ocean floor and noting that the floor reduces in age as you get closer to the MOR. Palaeomagnetism has also (allegedly) shown that the ocean floor has recorded magnetic pole shifts. Scientists, of course, date these pole shifts at 5-10 million years in duration; although renowned Geomagnetism expert, Robert Coe, has found instances of these “reversals” taking place in days, not millions of years.
The question is this…
Does the Mid Ocean Ridge fit in with the creation account, or the Flood?
Why does the MOR end at the base of Egypt?
Note: I do not think anything on earth requires an old earth creation... This is only required if you believe in evolution and do not believe in a Creator. The “Gap theory”, also, is science fiction. Unfortunately some Christians believe in this (some Christians also believe in evolution). In my opinion, both of these theories make a mockery of the sacrifice of Christ and creation. I do not count these views as an explanation of anything. Please do not flood this thread with either of these theories.
