    You think men need to confirm what God wrote? Strange. The earth was split in Peleg's day. You cannot rule out that this includes a splitting of the lands.

    The Bible framework for earth history makes no statement about continental splitting, so it is unnecessary and unwise to take a "Biblical" position on the question. When God created the land and sea, the waters were "gathered together unto one place" (Genesis 1:9), which may imply one large ocean and one large land mass. The scripture which says "the earth was divided" in the days of Peleg (Genesis 10:25) is generally thought to refer to the Tower of Babel division (Genesis 11:1-9) and some suppose this included continental separation. To believe, however, that the continents moved thousands of miles during the Tower of Babel incident without causing another global flood requires a miracle. Similarly, it is doubtful whether the long day of Joshua can be explained naturalistically by plate tectonics.

    If continental separation did occur, the only place within the Bible framework where it could fit would be during Noah's Flood.

    I see your link says 'what geologists believe'. As if that was worth a dime? Those who trust science over God do call themselves christian in many cases.

    As I mentioned some believe that the division of the supercontient was part of what was divided and others do not. You cannot claim the bible says it was not included.

    "Others feel this hints at the theory of continental drift. There is the possibility that the Bible teaches the earth was one land mass before the Flood."
    What Does It Mean, the Earth Was Divided?

    The reason for posting this is to show all who read this thread that neither God nor men agree with @dad2 and the position he takes.

    I am done posting on this thread.
    The reader can make his/her own mind up regarding the legitimacy of @dad2 s claim.

    Too bad you never really started. Maybe spam another thread.
