Subject: One land mass? |
Bible Note: Dear Steve, From this passage I see a possible single land mass, but there's no indication that there were no seasons of the year before the Flood. Where's the Scripture that would support an earth tilt? (I take it that the 23.5 degrees means the angle of earth's axis from the sun.) The waters above and below the earth were already there when God brought the Flood, and somehow God triggered it, but what would cause the earth to tilt, if it wasn't already tilted? And how would the tilt cause the break up of the one land mass and cause continental drift? I had assumed the one land mass broke up when the foundations of the great deep burst open.
