The Earth was changed in 6 days

I see.
that helps me see where you coming from a bit more.
I was getting kind of lost there for a bit

Its about time. GEEZ!

Just kidding.

How was man able to survive alongside the dinosaurs? Why have so many species of animal died out, while only few have survived over the how many thousand of years creationism suggests. And how did animals migrate to islands, like Madigascar, if the earth isn't as old as scientists say, so therefore the Earth has been geolocially similar since the creation.

maybe what you call continental drift didnt happen over billions of years.
Can you prove that God didnt separate the lands quickly and what we see now is just some residual effect?

Science can accept one huge landmass early on it seems, just as long as it doesnt tie in with a biblical account.

I can, and I can use a creationist source. If continental drift happened quickly, like John Baumgardner says, it would heat the earth up to the point of melting.

"Because all current ocean lithosphere seems to date from Flood or post-Flood times, we feel that essentially all pre-Flood ocean lithosphere was subducted in the course of the Flood. Gravitational potential energy released by the subduction of this lithosphere is on the order of 1028 J. This alone probably provided the energy necessary to drive Flood dynamics." ~ Steven A. Austin, D. Russell Humphreys, Larry Vardiman, John R. Baumgardner, Andrew A. Snelling and Kurt P. Wise,"Catastrophic Plate Tectonics: A Global Flood Model of Earth History," in Robert T. Walsh, editor, The Third International Conference on Creationism, (Pittsburgh: Creation Science Fellowship, 1994), p. 612

"
Considering the volume of the oceanic lithosphere to be a layer 80 km thick covering 60% of the earth’s surface, we obtain a value of 3.4 x 10^28 J for the amount of associated gravitational potential energy. If released near the earth’s surface, this amount of energy is sufficient to melt a layer of silicate rock 12 km thick or the boil away a layer of water 25 km deep over the entire earth. It is equivalent to the kinetic energy of 170,000 asteroids, each 10 km in diameter and traveling at 15 km/s. If even a tiny fraction is released near the earth’s surface in the span of just a few months, massive catastrophe is implied. Certainly this energy source is easily sufficient to produce the surface tectonic upheaval associated with the Flood.” John R. Baumgardner, “3D Finite Element simulation of the Global Tectonic Changes accompanying Noah’s Flood,” Proc. Second International Conference on Creationism, (Pittsburgh, Creation Science Fellowship, Inc., 1990), p. 37

This is 2.3 trillion megatons of energy. For comparison, the world's entire nuclear arsenal consists of around 13,000 megatons. This is why continental drift can't occur rapidly.
