The really explicit plate-tectonics deniers are those who throw up Dr. Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory. (We've had a few such.) That abomination has the continents skidding around on cushions of subterranean water and banging into each other like bumper cars right after the flood. That is, they don't believe in slow tectonics, but they believe the same thing can happen incredibly fast if there's water down below.

Of course, anyone who thinks the earth is 6K old has some kind of a problem with plate tectonics. Most of them just don't know it.

No, just have a problem with the evolutionary interpretation of it. Here is an article by Baumgartner. Of course, you'll reject it too, but it gives another possibility for continental drift. Baumgartner also seems to believe that Pangea is correct. I can disagree here based on the above reasons (mainly missing land mass).http://www.icr.org/research/jb/largescaletectonics.htm
