It says in the bible that the earth (continents) were devided in the days of peleg. (Gen. 10:25) What this says is that the continents were not always moving as slow as they are now. That means that after Noah landed in the ark, the earth might still have been one great land mass. What you have to understand is that the earth was WAY different back then then it is now. There were no rains to water the earth even. It says that a mist came up from the ground and daily watered the earth. It also speaks of water deviding in the firmament. Could this suggest that water had been stored in or around the atmosphere until the flood when God finally let it all out onto the earth? If you want to understand the ideas of Bible Stories, you cannot just read the story itsef, you must do serious research. God is a scientist, I mean he'd have to be to create and manage a planet, huh? So being a scientist, he makes everything work in systems. From the human body, to the water cycle, everything on earth is part of a self-sustaining system, and the greatest clues as to how it works are probably found in the old testament. So do your research, and you can find numerous explanations for numerous scientific problems that might be found in Creationism.

A Day unto God is thousands of years to man. 6 Godly Days of creation does not undermine the fossil record.
The fossil record, however, clearly undermines evolution. (Any questions should be asked, and every answer will be given)
