Pangea began to break up 175 million years ago. There is no more need to "explain" how Pangea broke up in one man's lifetime than there is to explain how Santa visits all the children in the world in one night use a sled drawn by flying Reindeer or how a blue ox could be so big it took crows a whole day to fly from horn to horn.Is that your explanation?
You know, that belief about Santa isn't actually correct.There is no more need to "explain" how Pangea broke up in one man's lifetime than there is to explain how Santa visits all the children in the world in one night use a sled drawn by flying Reindeer
You got that right.There is no more need to "explain" how Pangea broke up in one man's lifetime...
Rejecting reality in favor of your interpretation of the Bible won't change reality.You got that right.
The Bible says it -- that settles it.
Therefore I reject your uniformitarianism.
Good -- I reject your uniformitarianism.Rejecting reality in favor of your interpretation of the Bible won't change reality.
Reject away. I prefer to call the approach of modern geology actualism as I explained already. I am interested in what actually happened rather than what you claim happened based on your particular interpretation of a book of Hebrew Origin stories.Good -- I reject your uniformitarianism.
Fair enough -- I reject your acutalism.Reject away. I prefer to call the approach of modern geology actualism as I explained already.
It is not necessary to explain something that did not happen.Fair enough -- I reject your acutalism.
Especially if it can't explain how Pangaea became the seven continents* in one man's lifetime.
Actually North and South American were separated before the isthmus of Panama formed about 3 million years ago.* Five continents actually. It wasn't until the Panama and Suez canals were built that we got seven continents.
There are a few spiritual gifts that are not considered "active" or needed anymore. Tounges is not considered to be needed because we now have the written word for our benefit.
As a Charismatic I disagree and believe we need all the gifts and miracles for today, just like answers to prayer.

Frumious Bandersnatch........During the flood is when the continents were torn apart. The Bible speaks all about it. The time frame could be hundreds of years to ultimately finish what began during the flood.
AV says it all happened after the flood. You can't both be right but you can both be very wrong and you are. ...
Wrong. There is a big difference. Current geological models of plate tectonics and geology in general are supported by a wide variety of observations, explain an wide variety of observations and have not been falsified. Creationist fantasies about a global flood and rapid continent separation either during or after the flood are supported by nothing in science and explain nothing in science that can't be explained better by "mainstream science" but most importantly have been falsified by a wide variety of observations.Sorry. You are referring possible past events. One can develop theories to fit the facts best. But each theory is a hypothetical solution to observations people can re-check. Your own favorite theory is no different.
Three questions:Current geological models of plate tectonics and geology in general are supported by a wide variety of observations...
Three questions:
- At what grade of clarity are these observations?
[*]Do any of these observations contradict or overlap?
You are very fond of this one aren't you? There is no current dispute in science that the moon formed about 4.5 billion years ago about 100 million years after the formation of the earth. The hypothesis that explains the data best is the ejected ring hypothesis. Science progresses by formulating, testing and rejecting hypotheses on the basis of evidence. The recently created earth and global flood were rejected as falsified based on evidence more than 150 years ago and all the evidence of science since then reinforces that rejection.Are these the same observations that gave us four different stories as to how we got our moon?
Let me get to my main point.You are very fond of this one aren't you?

...The recently created earth and global flood were rejected as falsified based on evidence more than 150 years ago and all the evidence of science since then reinforces that rejection.
The current picture of plate tectonics is of course supported by multiple overlapping observations as are the data on the age of the earth and the data falsifying the global flood. If you think there are any that are contradictory observations please post them and we can discuss whether they are or not. You and Skywriter clearly have contradictory ideas about the timing of the breakup of Pangea.
Japheth is considered the progenitor of the Europeans.Whoever said the Chinese descend from Canaan is way off. Chinese (Asians) descend from Japheth.
