Fatal Sea Floor Sinking Truth! Sea Level Rise Half Lie!
Post-glacial rebound (or Glacial Isostatic Adjustment) produces measurable effects on: (i) Vertical Crustal Motion, (ii) Global sea levels, (iii) Horizontal Crustal Motion, (iv) Gravity field, (v) Earth's rotational motion and (vi) State of stress and earthquakes. Studies of Glacial rebound give us information about the flow law of mantle rocks and also past ice sheet history. The former is important to the study of Mantle Convection, Plate Tectonics and the thermal evolution of the Earth. The latter is important to the study of Glaciology, Paleoclimate and changes in Global Sea Level. Understanding postglacial rebound is also important to our ability to monitor recent global change.

This is a very interesting find, thankyou!
I will research further on the concept to see what I make of it and then possibly contribute further to the thread.
Proponents of an expanding Earth hypothesis claim that the explanation for the position and movement of continents and the appearance of new crustal material at mid-ocean ridges is that Earth's volume is increasing. Modern scientific evidence does not support this idea, rather plate tectonics is almost universally accepted as correct.[1][2][3][4] The small number of proponents of an expanding earth claim that the continents drifted away from each other because of further expansion at the rip-zones, where oceans currently lie. This contradicts the scientific consensus plate tectonics theory by stating that significant destructive plate boundaries do not exist.
There are various forms of the expanding earth hypothesis including some proposals which say that the Earth's mass has remained constant (and thus the gravitational pull at the surface has decreased over time), that Earth's mass has grown with the volume in such a way that the surface gravity has remained constant, or that the earth's gravity at its surface has increased over time, in line with its growing mass and volume. Many of the remaining expanding Earth adherents are proponents of the ideas of the late Australian geologist S. Warren Carey, whose ideas were popular for a time in the 1950s and 60s.
The primary objections to expanding Earth center around the lack of an accepted process by which the Earth's radius could increase and on the fact that the Earth's radius is not measured to be increasing today. Expanding Earth ideas that rely on the proposal that the process of subduction and other destructive plate boundaries are non-existent are discredited, since subduction is observed at oceanic trenches[5] and also known to have occurred in the past from geological[6] and geophysical[7] evidence.

I have one question. How is it that this whole post-glacial rebound has taken 13,000 years since the deluge? Most of the glaciers had retreated to the far north by 10,000 years ago. That seems like they're reaching really far for a theory.
