Hi GM,

I don't remember saying I was not interested in evidence.
In Re Water (Message 8) I said:
Sure I believe it happened.
Why do I need any evidence?
You said that in response to my request that you provide evidence for your absurd claim. You used that comment to weasel out of doing so.
Actually I made this statement in response to a statement you made.

Granny Magda writes:
Of course, you are not only suggesting that the Bible makes this claim, but you think that it actually happened, isn't that right? If this is true, then you must have a shit-load of evidence right? Right?
Remember, the evidence not only has to explain why your hypothesis is correct, it also has to deal with the evidence for plate tectonics and an old Earth, etc. I have a funny feeling that the Earth would explode if the continents were moved that quickly.
Nowhere do you ask for evidence.
My question was why do I need evidence?
I have the evidence the Bible gives me and that is sufficient for me.

Yes there indeed was a time when the Earth's land was in one single mass. That time was 250 million years ago. That's about 249.9 million years before humans existed.
My Evidence:
Genesis 1:9, 10 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Genesis 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
The Hebrew word translated seas is singular not plural.
The Bible says the water was in one place.
That would mean the land mass was in one place.
Scientific verification.
Wikipedia writes:
Gaea, meaning Earth in Ancient Greek) was the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about 250 million years ago, before the component continents were separated into their current configuration.
That says the land mass was in one place.
That says the land mass was separated into the current configuration.
Wikipedia writes:
The single enormous ocean which surrounded Pangaea is known as Panthalassa.
That says all the water was in one place.
That should refute your two island hypothetical.
You can find more on Pangea
Here,
Here, and
Here.
Do you deny the land was in one place?
Do you deny the water was in one place?
Granny Magda writes:
Where is your evidence of human habitation of Pangea? This is your theory. It is up to you to provide evidence for it. If you have none, you must be dismissed offhand as just another crank.
No my theory (as you call it) is what the Bible says.
The Bible says the land mass was in one place.
The Bible says the land mass was inhabited by humans.
The Bible says the humans were scattered over the face of the earth.
The Bible says the land mass was divided.
This is what I put forth in the Op.
Science agrees that the land mass was in one place at one time.
Science seems to agree the land mass has been divided.
Science does not agree humans inhabited the single land mass as Pangea was supposed to have been 250 million years ago.
Science seems to agree that humans have been scattered over the face of the Earth from one location with the out of Africa theory.
So we have a time problem.

In message 27 I asked upon what you based that assertion.
In
Message 49 you stated:
Granny Magda writes:
I got it out of a Christmas cracker. I found it written in a toilet cubicle. The voices in my head told me.
So I ask again, upon what do you base your assertion that was 249.9 million years before humans existed?
Granny Magda writes:
Now, unless you think that lystrosaurus is any less than millions of years old, this puts Pangea quite out of reach of human contact.
What difference does it make whether they are over one million years old or one billion years old. At one time there was no ocean at all and they could roam anywhere they pleased.
Granny Magda writes:
By the way, the final break-up of Pangea was about 185 mya. That's where you need to be looking.
Did one of them little voices in your head tell you that or do you have something a little more substantial. I would love to read it.
God Bless,
