http://www.geocities.com/davidjayjo...aysofPeleg.html Earth Divided in the Days of Peleg
(Continental Drift)

After the Worldwide Flood of Noah, the Earth was divided...

Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. 1Chronicles 1:19 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name was Joktan.


O.K. therefore we can from the addition of literal years as specified in Genesis, figure out when this time frame was in the geological record of the Earth. And because the Bible and Genesis have been proven to be exact from the findings of modern science,archeology, and geology, then we can surely trust in these passages as well. This giving us, a timeline from the Creation to the Flood of approximately 2348 years.....and afterwards to the birth of Peleg of 129 years. (SEE Timeline to the Flood and After)

Aha .... so if Peleg was born 129 years after the Flood, and he was around in the same time as Nimrod who helped build the Tower of Babel, then we may have a probable cause and connection as to why the Lord of the whole Earth, divided mankind even further apart with the separation of land masses.

So what was the Tower of Babel all about. Well, its ruins remain today as a reminder of the foolishness of man to reach unto the heavens or 'become gods' and yet that is exactly what they thought they were illustrating by their construction of their Tower.

Gen 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel

Notice any similarities today, as man still hasn;t learned his lesson, even though reuniting under a new one world language through translations on line.Why, because man in his arrogance when united, is dangerous and so way back then, the Lord divided their languages so that they could no longer communicate to each other, and therefore had to leave off building their proud work of the flesh. So the Lord brought them back down to Earth, and divided them into linquistic groups and separated them into the four corners of the earth .... and then it seems at the very same time era divided the Earth into new continents, so as to further keep them apart.

The Lord commanded the animals and people after the Flood, to breed abundantly and they obviously did as well as redistributing themselves over the face of the remaining dry land. But after this redistribulation, expansion and biological explosion, then came the Tower of babel and the language separation.

So maybe at the same time, there was a shifting of the geological plates, some raising and lowering as the waters receeded downwards. And so surely after these great land mass had drained and dried out, there could have been a dividing of the Earth. It can't be absolutely be proven, but the very real possibility remains.

For is this not what 'Continental Drift' is all about? The continents were together surely at one time according to their shapes that fit together perfectly, so why could NOT have the Lord divided them into what we see today. It didn't take millions and billions of years of them inching themselves apart which is evolutionary madness , but by the Lord of the whole Earth quickly floating them into new positions on the liquid below through the Lord's absolute POWER.

For together the Worldwide Flood and the Earth's division can solve the some of the mysteries of geography and biology f even though we don't know all the details.

Therefore in my opinion, the 'Earth was Divided in the Days of Peleg'

http://www.christiangeology.com/peleg.html Question: Noah's Ark came to rest on a mountain range in an area which is now called Turkey. How did humans and animals quickly migrate to the other continents like Australia and North America, which are presently separated by the seas?To begin to answer this important question we must examine another lesser known, but important event that occurred on the Earth about one hundred years after Noah's flood:

"And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was] Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name [was] Joktan."
(Genesis 10:25 KJV)


"And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one [was] Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name [was] Joktan."
(1 Chronicles 1:19 KJV)


In the Hebrew language the word 'Peleg ' means a dividing by a "small channel of water" and is also root associated with the meaning of an earthquake. The Hebrew word used as 'divided 'in the passage means to "split" something. According to the genealogy (Genesis 11:10-17), this man named Peleg was born 101 years after the flood. No doubt this Peleg was so named because of an event of great significance to the people living at the time he was born.

The fact that this dividing event is mentioned by the Holy Spirit in TWO places in the Scriptures, and that the EXACT number of years between this event and the flood is also recorded, alludes to the importance of these passages in the interpretation of post-flood history.

Some Creationists have interpreted this event to be the division of the North and South American continents from the European and African continents by the Atlantic ocean after the flood. But a division of such magnitude, at that point in geologic time, would invalidate our previously proposed flood model. It would also invalidate accepted paleomagnetic data which supports gradual sea floor spreading at the mid-Atlantic ridge. Besides, the Atlantic ocean is no "small channel of water" between land masses. Obviously, that is not the answer we are looking for.



After examining the Hebrew meanings, a more plausible alternative interpretation would be that it describes an earth-splitting event such as a valley opening in the ground and filling with water. That could have happened anywhere along the Dead Sea Rift zone (discussed in detail later) and may have been associated with a delayed adjustment of the earth's plates in response to the rapid subsidence of the sea floors by the flood. In theory, when the weight of the waters of the flood forced the sea floors downward to fill the void beneath, strain would have developed between the oceanic and continental portions of the crustal plates. Consequently, tectonic pressures were redistributed. About 100 years later the strain and pressure redistribution may have caused the earth's crust to rapidly rent in weaker places, much like a piece of ridged plastic which can be stretched and deformed. It will eventually snap if the strain remains constant. An abrupt change in sea levels could possibly accompany such an event The data support the Scriptures.


"These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread."
(Genesis 9:19 KJV)


Shortly after the Ark landed on the mountains of Ararat in Turkey, the families of mankind spread across the world. At that point in time mankind all spoke a common language and the bulk of them appears to have migrated eastward.

"And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there."
(Genesis 11:1-2 KJV)


That land of Shinar is Babel (Babylon) and there the Bible says the Lord confounded their language and scattered them across the face of the Earth.

[url]http://www.ldolphin.org/catastrophe.html[/url] A Brief Earth History Summary of the Monograph Creation and Catastrophe http://www.ldolphin.org/rockrecord2.html THE DIVISION OF THE CONTINENTS IN THE DAYS OF PELEG---For generations creationists have failed to provide a working explanation of the formation of the physical record of the rocks in the earth's crust from a Biblical perspective. Far too long we have been satisfied with generalizations that have attempted to explain the geological record. Yet we would recognize that they do not work if we were to examine these attempted harmonization models carefully. Inevitably, a bit like the uniformitarians, we assume too much. For the last 90 years the major Biblical, geological catastrophe, the Noahic flood, has been distorted completely out of proportion in the light of the Biblical and the geological evidence. Far too much in the geological record has been attributed to the Noahic flood without careful consideration of other events in the Bible that would have deposited geological deposits. The physical evidence demands a far more careful look. As a result, we fail to realize that there are two very Biblical, geological catastrophes that preceded the Noahic flood and two other very Biblical, geological catastrophes that came centuries after the Noahic flood. The purpose of this study is to explain that five Biblical events of a catastrophic nature actually deposited the geological record that is being misunderstood and distorted so that it appears to witness to a purely naturalistic, evolutionary explanation of the universe and the earth and of the life forms that teem our planet.

Have you given any thought on the energy it would take to move around the continents like that? Or the effect of exposing the mantle of the Earth over such a large area would have on the life on this planet?


Look at the source. It's from Lambert Dolphins crank website.
