At what point do Creationists believe Pangea started breaking and had continents speeding away from each other

Question

And since the entire earth's ocean floor was involved in this amazing event, What point did it start and what point did it end, you think?
Do you think all the races of people and animals ran to their four corners really really fast as they were speeding away from each other like massive ocean liners?

luvdalz:
sorry , but there is simply not enough time in 6000 or even 10,000 years for all that to occur,
you simply theorized yourself into a corner, you ran out of time beginning with the first few sentences.

Answer 1

I think it happened during the flood of Noah

the 8 people alive at the time were in the boat

Answer 2

As a Creationist, I can tell you this "breaking away" never actually occurred. Evolutionists assume that just because plates are shifting ever so slightly today, that proves they've been moving for millions of years. This philosophy is called "uniformitarianism" - the belief that the way things happen today is the way they have always happened. I would explain the slight movement of the plates as a leftover result of catastrophism (a worldwide Flood).
As an analogy, if you were to see a car travelling eastbound on Highway 10 through Texas, does that prove that he started in L.A. two days ago? Of course not. He may have gotten on at the last exit. Likewise, plates that are moving now do not prove that they've been moving for millions of years, or that they were once stuck together. Another problem with the "Pangaea" theory is that when you look at their hypothetical maps, all of Central America is disappeared! Also, if you drained all the water out of the oceans, you would find that all the continents are already connected. These are not lilypads floating around in a bathtub. The contours of S.America and Africa have more to do with following the contour of the mid-Atlantic trench, one of the many sites out of which the "fountains of the deep" broke open in Genesis. The Earth's crust is made of thick layers and thin layers. The thin layers sank under the weight of the Flood water and formed ocean basins, which caused the edges of the faults to be pushed up, creating mountain ranges. The thick layers were the dry land that we have today.
There was an Ice Age immediately following the Flood, during which time the sea level dropped, creating land bridges all over the world, which allowed people and animals to spread out. When the Ice Age ended, water levels rose and cut off these people and animals from each other, which is why we have indiginous peoples and animals on islands and Australia.

Answer 3

After the fall of the tower of babyl. Basically some people thought that they could build a tower to heaven. God punished their test of his will by causing them all to speak different languages. When they could no longer communicate with each other, they dispersed. At this point Pangea would have spread apart. I am not sure exactly what to say about Pangea other than I am not sure. The continents might not have always continued to move at their present sluggish rate. They might have moved to their present positions within one thousand years. Back before the flood the oceans would have been much smaller, and therefore the continents would have been larger. The flood would have greatly facilitated the emergence earth's appearance with the continents so far apart.

Answer 4

The tectonics plates have no longer something to do with evolution as they are effortless area of the earth structure. we do not have any sparkling concept how old the earth fairly is and so some distance because the Genesis account of advent if people ought to ascertain it properly it isn't the advent of the earth it the game of it. the first verse effortless says that God created the heaven, the universe, and the earth and the 2d verse makes it sparkling that the earth replaced into already right here even as God began to recreate it. note there is not any account of God transforming into the earth in person-friendly words the account of Him having keeping apart the waters so as that the dry land ought to seem. The land replaced into already there it replaced into fairly below the water. So even as did God create the Heaven and the earth the first time in person-friendly words God is regularly occurring with of, yet we do be conscious of what occurred so as that He had to recreate life on it, even if it extremely is yet another tale for yet all over again.

Answer 5

What?
Continents speeding away from each other??? Do you call 4-11mm/year speeding?
The entire ocean floor??
The continents you refer to as well as the oceans sit atop tectonic plates which are moving.

Answer 6

I am a Creationist (God created everything), but I also believe in Evolution. I think, like you, that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and this took placew over several million, if not a billion years.

Answer 7

same time as most scientists do. I believe in Creation, but I don't adhere to the 6000 year old earth theory.

Answer 8

The answer is in Genesis 10:25--

And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

Answer 9

Pangaea that is where pangels come from lol
