Pangea was still around Noah's time?

mathinspiration · Dec 31, 2017

Pangea is the term scientists used to describe when all continents were together yet they move apart. The animal life and plant life were not the same as modern times since they had no need to adapt(Evolution) to changing environments . Could the breaking of continents have happened during the flood?

I think so

A flood that released enough water to cover the hills/mountains in Pangea. Where did that water go to?

The break up into tectonic plates, the sinking rapidly of some to create deep ocean basins enable the flood water to be accommodated.

The continents have joined up together a couple times before. Pangaea is simply the most recent time this happened, but Pangaea had already been breaking apart by the Jurassic, over 200 million years ago.

Continental drift is exceptionally slow, only several centimeters a year. The world of 4,000 BC was, geologically, identical to ours. Because continental drift happens in timescales of millions of years, not just a few thousand.

The hydroplate theory best explains what happened during the flood to create the world we have today.

I would recommend reading about rodinia, then rephrasing the question.

I've watched that video. The hydroplate theory holds no water, (pun intended). A localized flood involving the Black Sea makes a lot more sense than what he's espousing. I used to believe in a world wide flood, but the more I studied and learned about dendrochonology, the Grand Canyon, varves, ice core samples, just for starters, the more a localized flood made sense. There definitely was no "world wide flood" in 2348 B.C.

The world was just starting to come out of an ice age in 10,000 B.C., and the continents were pretty much where they are now. Besides, you aren't going to have a mountain range like the Himalayas form in the span of a year.

"Flood Geology" is more in the realm of fantasy and science fiction than reality and scientific fact.

There was a flood at the time of Pangea and then the world went into an ice age. Noah flood is a shadow and a type of the flood that took place at the time of Pangea.

At the time of the dinosaurs the atmosphere was a lot more humid. The sky was said to be a reddish color at the time compared to the blue color it is now. We read about the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven. This is a reference to Noah's flood but this is also a shadow and a type of what took place at the the breakup of Pangea.

Genesis 7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.

We live on a geologically active planet. In our world today we witness the devastating results (earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanism, etc.) resulting from very small movements in the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust. For those plates to actually move thousands of miles in just a few thousand years would release enough energy to actually threaten the survival of much of life on earth. Pangea in Noah's day is a ridiculous concept.

There is a very good best selling book on the market right now called Paradigm. This can help you to understand shadows and types and how one can be an exact or precise representation of the other. This is why the language in the Bible has to be exact because there are two different events being talked about at the same time. This is common in the Bible. One example of this is in Matthew chapter 24 when the Disciples said: "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" Clearly Jesus is talking about two events at the same time. When the temple will be destroyed in Jerusalem and the events that would take place at the end of the age that we are in now. Actually everything God did with Israel, He is now doing in the Church. This shows how we can understand Old Testament events and how they relate to the New Testament.

There is a difference between a paradigm and science fiction. They are not the same thing. A paradigm is science with all the accuracy and precision of science. Science fiction does not have the accuracy you would expect from science. For example science fiction talks about hyperspace or travel faster than the speed of light. From a viewpoint of science this is impossible. If you were to go faster than the speed of light then there would be an equal increase in the decay rate.

It was in the days of a man called Peleg that the Earth was divided...

Divided into races, kingdoms, etc. Certainly not divided geologically.

The bible says the Earth was divided...Personally I think its wrong to omit the continents from this division.

The current theory is that the Garden of Eden is under the Persian Gulf and the scientific facts seem to support that.
