Or, you could go with the reconstructed history of the populating of the world you can find here: JOURNEY OF MANKIND - The Peopling of the World

The latter version has the benefit of being in accord with the evidence.

6000 years ago, the entire universe was in the hollow of God's hand ...

Isaiah 40:12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

Light from stars didn't travel nearly as far to the earth as it does today.

Then God stretched the universe out ... and the light went with it.

To illustrate, put a bulb next to a globe of the earth and turn the bulb on.

Light from the bulb instantly hits the globe.

Now, in a moment of time, move that bulb 100 miles away.

In your mind, perhaps. Let's face it no evidence exists for old age continental separation, that is all a uniformitarian belief foisted onto evidences. The dating game.
The simple fats are that islands moved, and the land masses, and that migration patterns and other evidences show that they once were joined.

Now, for Bible believers, who accept a real flood, I would point out that they must view the isotopes as having a pattern that represents fast change!! Look at the Hawaii island thing. There is no way to fit the patterns into a same state past and have a real flood and separation of continents, Peleg, etc.

Actually it would. Do you understand the theoretical ideas about a
black hole? General relativity? An event horizon? Light can be stretched.
Time can be effected by gravity.

Gravitational time dilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I find it interesting that creationists will argue so vehemently that conditions have to be just right for life to exist, and then they argue for a planet that has 1 million x g in order to explain away the evidence for an old Earth.

What evidence would you accept?

What features would a rock need in order for you to accept it as being millions of years old?

What astronomical observations would you accept as evidence for laws acting the same in the past?

Or is it that you will never accept any evidence that contradicts your dogmatic beliefs?


What patterns, if observed, would represent slow change?

Light travels at the speed of light between the light bulb and the globe. It isn't instantaneous.

What evidence would you accept?
List what you got, and we can pick. What will it take for you to show what you have?

What features would a rock need in order for you to accept it as being millions of years old?
What evidence do you have they are what YOU claim? What will it take to get you to stop making stuff up?

What astronomical observations would you accept as evidence for laws acting the same in the past?
You have nothing, so act accordingly. What willl it take for you to go get something!?

Or is it that you will never accept any evidence that contradicts your dogmatic beliefs?
You have nothing that does so. What will it take to get you to admit that?

What patterns, if observed, would represent slow change?

Things are slow NOW. What will it take to get you to deal with realty?

In your mind, perhaps.

Are you under the impression that I am the only one who is aware of the ancient history of the earth and the ancient history of the migrations of our species?

Well, in your mind its not evidence, but you do realize many of us think there is evidence for old age continental separation. Since you are religiously motivated to deny all the evidence, we disregard your dismissal of it all.

Yes, I do actually understand. And thats why I say its impossible.

Its very clear that neither you or AV understands the physics involved in his scenario and what it would mean (and what traces it would leave).
You can't put a square peg into a round hole, and you can't put science into the creation week.
