6016 seems a bit arbitrary.

""It is important that we know where the plates existed many millions of years ago, and how they broke apart, as the regions where plates break are often where we find major oil and gas deposits, such as those that are found along Australia's southern margin.""

Doesn't that argue against oil and gas being "fossil" fuels and more for substances naturally produced by a break. I can think of no reason why fossil fuels should occur near a break.

Anything is possible, once upon a time and all, strata belie strata.. no recorded history has clue what came before , or what will come.

It’s a good thing Columbus didn’t live back then. Such a long trip to discover where you’ve been.

While continental connections can be inferred by shape, what really solves the puzzle is geology. That is, if the shapes are roughly the same, do the mineral deposits where the two shapes meet, match?

For example, if there is a vein of quartz that dead ends on one side, is there a vein of quartz that dead ends on the other side? A two dimensional match of shape is one thing, but a three dimensional match is pretty conclusive.

The Fall of the House of Usher:

“In the Beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth.” Gen 1:1

Then lots of things we don’t need to know about happened for unknown millions/billions of years.

Then Satan rebelled, and God wiped her clean: “And the earth was (became) without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Gen 1:2

Then the Six Days of Creation (of this world-age/Heaven-Age) began, cf Second Peter 3:4-6

"the regions where plates break are often where we find major oil and gas deposits"

An argument for abiotic oil.
