Genesis 1:9 says that dry land appeared and the waters were gathered into one place called Seas. Floating continents that all were one and gradually drifted apart doesn't make sense, given our knowledge of plate tectonics and the fact that there is NO mass of water under any land...it all goes down through crust, magma, etc. to the earth's core.As an alternate, how about one continent, ripped apart by a Divine cataclysm to give us the continental configurations as we know them, more or less?!! Imagine the world as a melon and God's 'thumbs' stuck where the Laurentian Abyssal is and 'the deeps broken up' the way a strong man could crack open a melon without completely breaking the rind?!! Has anyone done mineralogical studies along the coastlines of North, Central, and South America to compare them with the spots in Europe and Africa that match up with the silouhette?
Oh...and if the angels sang at Creation (see Job 38:7), did they weep at the Flood or cheer that the bad guys got what they deserved?
And while I'm thinkin' of it...why are the seas 220 times saltier than the fresh water lakes? From an article I read, scientists are baffled and put out some 'rain for millions of years' story. I figure that a Divine cataclysm of slightly salty water (what we call fresh water) washed a PILE of ground minerals into the mix, not to mention all the minerals comprised in all the humans, birds, reptiles (including dinosaurs), land animals, and bugs added to the mixture as they decomposed while the Flood subsided.
