In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

(time and space)

the earth was without form, and void;

This is an introduction not the Gap Theory

And God made the Heaven, and divided the waters which were under the Heaven
from the waters which were above the Heaven
Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear:

The water formed into a spinning ball

and like a spinning top the dry land appeared.


There is no reason to assume that the land did not reach

completely around the globe centered at the equator.

It was basically low land with some hills.

A rainforrest but no rain.

It was broken into smaller parts

at the time of the confounding of the languages.

The waters which were above the Heaven

probably provided shielding from radiation

because the average life span of man was over 900 years.

The warm climate would allow extensive vegetation to grow.

All animals were vegetarian until the great flood.

"to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air,
and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:
and it was so."

About 2344 BC the Great Flood kills all men and animals

that are not on the ark.

We assume that men and animals and plants formed the oil

we now find under the ground.

About 2124 BC (half life of Peleg)

a Great Earthquake broke the land into separate pieces

and shifted them many miles apart

and the languages were confounded.

Mountains were formed at this time.

There were not any high mountains at the time of the Great Flood.


This was not continental drift.

Fossil evidence includes the presence of similar and identical species

on continents that are now great distances apart.

Fossils of the therapsid Lystrosaurus

have been found in South Africa, India and Australia,

alongside members of the Glossopteris flora,

whose distribution would have ranged from the polar circle

to the equator

the freshwater reptile Mesosaurus

has only been found in localized regions

of the coasts of Brazil and West Africa.

evidence is found in the geology of adjacent continents,

including matching geological trends

between the eastern coast of South America

and the western coast of Africa.

the Appalachian Mountains chain which extends from the northeastern United States

to Ireland, Britain, Greenland, and Scandinavia.


One rift resulted in a new ocean, the Atlantic Ocean

probably caused Africa, India to move northward

Madagascar and India separated from Antarctica and moved northward,

opening up the Indian Ocean.

Madagascar stopped and became locked to the African Plate.

New Zealand, New Caledonia and the rest of Zealandia

separated from Australia,

moving eastward towards the Pacific and opening the Coral Sea

and Tasman Sea.

Australia split from Antarctica and moved rapidly away.

Antarctica moved South.
