You know, it just occurred to me that there's really no evidence of transitional positions for the continents - all we have is extrapolation from their current movements.

I like it. I think I'll call my theory "Intelligent Drift", and demand equal time in earth science classrooms around the country.
Intelligent Drift. Very well done! Creationism is never having to connect the dots.

I think now that I've fleshed out my creationist theory on the origin of the continents, I'm going to move on. I have an idea for a writing a movie-review column from a creationist perspective. The way it works is that I'll review movies by looking at them and reporting my impressions to my faithful creationist readers, but the trick is that I'll examine each frame of the movie in isolation, without inferring any relationship between a given frame and the ones that come before it or after it - each frame will be regarded as an independent construct, to be examined on its own merits. After all, there's no transition from one frame to the next, and so we can't reasonably conclude that two adjacent frames are actually related, even if they appear to have common elements, and we certainly can't conclude that all the frames together compose a coherent whole.
