Thank you for this synopsis. I always enjoy reading your articles.
Can you provide any additional context or citations for the following statement: “20% or more of the continents, such as much of Canada, have little or no sedimentary rock in wide areas.”
I changed it to 30% after checking closer. I think I'll make another post about this. Here's a world map that shows geology: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/45739752444284954/. The pink areas are where there is no sedimentary rock, because the Flood washed it into the oceans, because it was a bit higher land and the sediment on it was still soft and wasn't yet turned to rock. The supercontinent Pangaea just started splitting up as a huge asteroid hit the east coast of Africa and the Atlantic and Indian Ocean basins started forming. So the Flood waters started flowing into those basins and they took a lot of sediment with them from north & east Canada, Greenland, Scandinavia, Brazil & west central Africa into the Atlantic basin and from southeast Africa, Madagascar, India, west Australia and maybe Antarctica into the Indian Ocean basin. This shows that India, Australia and most of Antarctica were connected to Africa. Mountains were forming at the same time as the ocean basins. The Rockies helped push the Flood waters eastward over east Canada and westward, but the Appalachians prevented the waters from removing as much sediments from the U.S. The only other pink area is in south Siberia north of eastern China, where the Flood waters must have been strong enough to remove sediment there into the Pacific, north of Japan. The red areas indicate magma flow onto the surface, called flood basalt, which are mainly in Washington, south Brazil, east central Africa, west central India, central China and central Siberia. Those are where the land rifted apart just enough to force a lot of magma through the cracks. The far north and far south are greatly distorted in the map, so Greenland looks about 14 times bigger than it really is. Likewise for Siberia, Scandinavia, Antarctica etc.

Incredible. Thank you. Look forward to your follow up post.
