He believes that the Biblical god did it, but he is admitting that they do not know how god-did-it. Gondwana started to break up 180 million years ago, and the Atlantic basin was forming and growing by around 70 million years ago, but that option isn't available to YEC.

would have had to be created during the global flood and some hardy

regions of the earth that what was left was rubble or molten rock.
Over 65 million years of continental drift occuring within one year.

I didn't watch the video, but they claim that the continents "sprinted"
to their current positions during the flood.
marine fossils on mountain tops as evidence that the Flood waters
covered those mountains? (with the standard explanation, of course,
being that those fossils are the remains of marine deposits raised up
by plate tectonics mountain building activities). He also uses a
straw man version of mainstream geology, where local catastrophes just
can't happen for some reason.
He says if there was a Flood, we would expect to find billions of dead
animals fossilized in the rocks without dealing with the utter lack of
any evidence for a human civilizations in the fossil record that were
supposed to have been the reason for the alleged Flood in the first
place. He talks about rocks being deformed without mentioning how that
can happen slowly under high pressure and temperature, or given low
strain rates under much more prosaic conditions.
And he doesn't talk about how the walls of the Grand Canyon could
maintain their structural integrity if they weren't turned to rock
during the Flood. He also conflates large depositional environments
with large areas for Flood deposits to form. And he doesn't mention
that contact between layers often show erosion like river channels if
they're traced far enough laterally, and doesn't explain how paleosols
could form at the boundaries of these layers in a Flood.
It's pseudoscience in its purest form, in this case a comic-book
version of science.

This seems to be an unintentionally humorous analysis of the mechanism
for moving the continents thousands of miles during the year of the
flood. The serious tone of the writing is often entertaining for anyone
that has been told the various flood models that the lunatics have come
up with, and understands what the author is alluding to and referencing.

"As a result of my analysis of Brown’s HPT model for the Flood, I do
not consider his model a viable Flood model for the general and
specific reasons summarized above."
