Originally inferred from 2-D and 3-D computer simulations of crustal plate movement across the face of the earth, catastrophic plate tectonics was proposed as a young-earth creationist alternative to naturalistic plate tectonic theory, and has become widely accepted. Catastrophic plate tectonics claims that the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and, in some instances, Cenozoic stratigraphic sections are Flood deposits. However, the presence of animal tracks throughout these same sections appear to contradict the biblical record, which states that the animals that could have created these tracks were all dead long before the end of the Flood. Catastrophic plate tectonics’ adherence to the secular hronostratigraphic geologic timescale, or the standard geologic column, is the source of this apparently insoluble problem. Until advocates of this model can explain how animal tracks could have been produced in strata that supposedly formed after the extinction of the track makers, their model exhibits a glaring inconsistency with field data.
