Re: Where is the Evidence?
A literal reading of the text in Genesis seems to indicate that there was a single landmass prior to the flood.
where does it say that, literally speaking? my copy sure doesn't seem to indicate that.

Re: Where is the Evidence?
Genesis 1:9 And God saith, `Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so. 10 And God calleth to the dry land `Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called `Seas;' and God seeth that [it is] good.
The inferance is clear that if all of the water was gathered into one place, that the land likewise was gathered into one place.
this is a false conclusion. the oceans today are on contiguous body of water, yet there is land in more than one place.
IOW pangia, but this is off topic, if you want we can take the issue to the 'what does the Bible say' thread.
indeed, but i would imagine that if one is going to defend the bible in a science thread, one should at the very least be accurate in what it says.
