Is fossil evidence that strong of a case for evolution?

Let me guess.

I just made that up, didn't I?

Or is it a product of someone else's imaginatiion?

The connection made with that verse to plate tectonics, yes, imagination. The context of Genesis 10 is to describe the descendents of Noah's family and the formation of new nations.

Then why do you say Noah lived in New Jersey and connect it to Pangaea?
Because I believe Noah lived in [what is now] New Jersey.

After the Flood, he lived in [what is now] Mesopotamia.

The Flood picked up his Ark in New Jersey and deposited it about 2000 miles (or so) away in Mesopotamia.

And what does that have to do with Pangaea?

This is the verse that is used to support it:

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.
Are you saying this verse is referring to the physical separation of the continents rather than referencing the confusion of languages at the Tower of Babel as is the traditional interpretation? If so, what justification do you have for your interpretation?

BTW, physical separation of the continents in the time frame required would result in a second worldwide flood.

Would they have believed Noah's invitation, if Noah would have built a yacht instead?
No one believed Noah's invitation when he built the Ark. How could anyone believe less if he had only built a yacht?

BTW, what is your Biblical support that Noah invited anyone other than his family to join him on the Ark? The verse you gave above, Revelations 22:17, has no relation to Noah.

I do notice that you continue to ignore Revelations 22:18-19 where it is stated very clearly not to add things to the Bible.

I believe that reference is about the "book" of Revelation, not the Bible. I don't think the Christian Bible was even in existence when Revelation was written.

Luke 14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

You should be ashamed to cite such a source.
He's lucky I cited any source outside the Bible.

Such demands for justification are rude, IMO.

If he doesn't like what people believe, he's welcome to move.

You guys make the Ku Klux Klan and the Inquisition look good.

Sure, say whatever you want but please believe that no one is obligated to believe you on assertions only. Credibility matters, but sure, if you don't care about an honest representation of your beliefs just cite whatever you can manage to find regardless how lacking the factual knowledge the person has on the subject.

You guys make the Ku Klux Klan and the Inquisition look good.

By asking for some data to support your assertions? This is the level you stoop to as a creationist so you're free to wallow in it.
