(14) "The Earth Divided"

From a "Questioning User" (QU12) followup to "The Earth Divided"--

>>RC> The earth was whole when the creatures came to the ark, and after they departed from the ark they had at least a hundred years to spread out around the whole earth before the earth was divided.

>QU8> Pangaea divided long before "the days of Peleg".

>>RC> "Pangæa" - From Grk."pan", ALL; and Grk."gæa", THE EARTH. (Webster) ALL THE EARTH! Anyone can see that "Pangæa" means ALL THE EARTH:

>>RC> "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; because the LORD did there confound the language of ALL THE EARTH: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of ALL THE EARTH." (Gen.11:8,9)

>>RC> Concerning Nimrod: "And the beginning of his kingdom was BABEL..." Nimrod was the 13th from Adam, and it was in his days that the language was divided and they were scattered throughout "Pangæa."

>>RC> Peleg was the 15th from Adam, and in his days the earth was DIVIDED.

>QU12> Richard, the word Pangea is used by modern geologists to describe the theoretical single continent that existed in Earth's prehistory. The geologists who put forward the theory originally made up the word from greek.

The German (not geologist, but) meteorologist/astronomer credited with the first use of "Pangæa" in RECENT history was Alfred Wegener who in 1912 put forth a theory of continents in motion, and in 1922 published his third edition of "The Origins Of Continents And Oceans", and referred to the supercontinent as Pangæa. The word was in use very much before that time though. The earliest reference to the idea of continental separation in RECENT history is about 1620AD. The oldest ancient historical reference was written around 1500 BC.

Wegener had maps matching up the continents, showing the Appalachians ajoining the mountains of Scotland and documenting glacial and lava regions, climate changes and polar wandering, etc. His ideas were attacked by establishment "scientists" for about 15 years and his ideas discarded until the early 1960's when deep core drilling and other discoveries revived interest in the theory of continental drift. The "Unified Theory of Plate Tectonics" is the current view, although most establishment "scientists" still use the archaic, outdated, disproven evolutionary theory dating methods for a time reference, instead of the true chronology of the splitting of "ALL THE EARTH," when the earth was DIVIDED in the days of Peleg.
