Developed from computer models, Catastrophic Plate Tectonics was introduced in 1994 as a global tectonic model of the Genesis Flood. Advocates of the model claimed that evidence for Plate Tectonic theory also supported its catastrophic daughter. Examination of the literature identified several inconsistencies in the timing of events between the parent Plate Tectonic theory and its creationist offspring. Various events within catastrophic plate tectonics also appear to be in conflict in their relative timing and potentially in disagreement with the biblical record. Caution should be exercised in applying catastrophic plate tectonic concepts to field situations until these problems are addressed and resolved.
