1 | One land mass? | Gen 1:9 | Lionstrong | 13718 | ||
Dear Nolan, It is possible for the Bible to treat "in passing" what we might consider to be very significant, don't you think? Case in point: we are very impressed with the vastness of the universe with its kazillion stars flung out unimaginable distances. But in the creation account the significance is given to man's immediate environment, the earth, and of the kazillion stars Moses says, "he made the stars also! What an understatement! So here, the aftermath of a great judgement on man, the concern is not with geology, as significant as it might be to us, and so it (the breaking up of the one landmass) is only mentioned in passing. One other reason that it might be given only a passing reference is that it wasn't an act of God, but only a consequence of a previous event, like when God turned the water to blood, it mentions that the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water. Peace, Lionstrong |

2 | One land mass? | Gen 1:9 | Makarios | 13745 | ||
Hello Lionstrong, Your reference to Moses and the stars being a statement "in passing" is definitely an understatement and I agree! However, I do not believe that a great "shifting of the continents" could have taken place without the whole world witnessing this major development! So that is why I believe that this happened during the flood. It would have to be a 'worldwide' occurrence, since it affected all areas of land on the earth. The only worldwide natural catastrophy (or "Act of God") that we have in the Bible is the flood. So that is why I do not believe that this statement could be entirely referring to the separation of continents. But that is just my own opinion, and opinions are given out free of charge.. :) Blessings, Nolan |

You might be right, Nolan, because although the Bible has the only accurate account of the the Flood one finds perversions of this account world wide. I don't know, but are there accounts of the landmass break up after the Flood? If there aren't, it would be good negative evidence that the break up occurred during the Flood and not after.
