And I now challenge you to show me where I said God boiled the oceans.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
The situation is made even more ridiculous because you have used the Bible to claim India has never moved because God boiled the ocean in which case the appropriate “heuristic” is criteria 2. Bible says x, Science says y = go with x.
I challenged you to show me where your claim is explicitly stated in the Bible and the evidence behind it.
Given you avoided to provide the answer means this “heuristic” bombs out as well.
I rest my case.
We know what you are trying to say ...
Question:
While India was being escorted to Laurasia from Gondwana, was it a continent at the time (since continents are surrounded by water)?
If so, is this an example of one continent colliding with another?
I wasn't aware that India was 'escorted' to its date with Laurasia.
Who was the lucky landmass?
PS
Since you appear to have missed 4th grade geography this might help fill in some of the embarrassing gaps.
A continent is any of several large geographical regions. Continents are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria. A continent could be a single landmass or a part of a very large landmass, as in the case of Asia or Europe. Due to this, the number of continents varies; up to seven or as few as four geographical regions are commonly regarded as continents.
Well, that just cleared everything up.
From the link:
Clear as mud.
In other words, it's a continent, unless it isn't.
Maybe I should go back and try that 4th grade again?
On the other hand ...

One of the many differences between Christian you and atheist me is our relative ability to cope with uncertainty.
I am comfortable with the idea that there is often no strict black and white demarcation between concepts like species, or continents, or Pluto and planets, or between life and not-life, or an ever-changing science.
Christians seem to need the reassurance of certainty - hence the absolute belief in God and the invariability of Christian doctrine.

You mean the India Plate. India is actually just the visible part of the India Plate. The plate is around 70 to 90 km thick and covers more territory than the India we can see. It's 'floating' on the more plastic hot rock below the Earth's mantle.Some plate.
Or plates.
Wasn't plate tectonics supposedly involved?

Its north-east movement is measured using satellite technology (like your car's GPS/satnav system). Tectonic plate movement is responsible for many of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the world. It's the way mountains get made.

Not really.Thanks for the info.
Do you know what I meant now when I said India was escorted to its destination?
Okay.Not really.
India wasn't escorted by the India Plate.
It's part of the India Plate.

Please provide a fixed point on the Earth's crust to use as a fixed reference point and I will describe the motion relative to that point.If India "torpedoed" into the Asian continent at the rate of 2cm/year, forming the Himalayan Mountains, where out in the ocean was India's starting point, and how did scientists ascertain it?
Please note: I want an exact starting point in the ocean where India began its journey, as I'm using this challenge to point out that science chisels and force-fits their data to get the results they're looking for.
It may take several tries, a computer, and several moments of "back to the drawing board" to force their conclusions to agree with other scientific disciplines (such as astronomy), but with the aid of computers it can be done.
So please tell me:
Where exactly was India's starting point, according to current models?
