Apparently you know how long it took. Are you now renegging and saying you don't know how long it took?
Yes I know how long it took because I was still reading the 20,000+ word
http://www.detectingdesign.com/geologiccolumn.html article when barely a half hour had passed and you had re-posted refuting everything in all four articles another of which was 15,000+. But since I now know that you just skimmed the articles for information about ocean topography I am less confused about that particular issue. I have made no claims about ocean topography as yet, so I was not posting information on that, but trying to demonstrate that ocean spreading isn't a uniform process necessarily.

The articles show that seafloor rates were high during certain periods in the Earth's history, However they are not refering to the Atlantic seafloor basin which formed after the period discussed in the articles.
Read what you posted.
They demonstrate that we cannot know how long it took the seafloor to spread based upon today's measurement. IT is generally accepted that there is variation. I was refuting that it was entirely uniform, that is all.

No that is not what I am saying.
You are claiming that the Atlantic Ocean formed after the flood.
That gives it 6000 years to open up 3000km.
Compare the rates discussed in your supporting articles with the rates you require and they are very very slow.
IT is true two of the articles I posted still suggest a slower rate than I hypothesize, but a faster rate than what is observed today, and that was the point I was making.

For this to occur we would need movement rates in excess of 500m per year. Thats 12,000% faster than what was theorized in the articles!!
This would cause annual quakes greater than that which caused the Tsunami last year. What indications do you have to show that this was indeed the case!
The topography of the ocean floor shows an area either side of the ridge that appears similar. Beyond these areas the topography of the ocean floor is quite different indicating that it was formed by a different process than the process that created the middle part of the ocean.
