Pangea

Watching geology videos lately. Watching them as a creationist means mostly that I have to ignore their dates or try to grasp the relative dates which may be accurate, that is, what preceded what. Their physical descriptions are pretty good I assume but interpretation is the problem. When they explain something tas caused by water it's not going to be the Flood so I have to think Flood where they are thinkinjg something else.

The idea of Pangea, the supercontinent that broke up from which all the current contine nts separated, is a useful idea. It was Alfred wegener who made the observations about how the continents had once been together, who came up with the idea of Pangea and that idea doesn't contradcit anything in the Bible so I'm good with it. I just have to reconsider the dating.

They usually have Pangea breaking up dsometime during the laying down of the Geological column, meaning the layers of sedimentary rooc,ls frp, from which they derive the order of the fossil record and evidence for evolution. Of course they have those layers forming over a few hundred mikllion years, but a creationist sees them as formed by the Flood of Noah in one year.

Because all the evidence I like to point to shows that all the layers wree in place before there was any appreciable disturbance on the Earth such as tectonic plate movement, volcanoes and so on, I put the splitting of the continents at the end of the Flood which is what laid down all those layers. There's room for discussion about the timing but it does have to be after ALL the strata were in place. It certqainly didn't occur during the laying down of the layers because there wouldn't be the neat stack of them we see in the Grand Canyon area, the Paleozoic in the grand Canyon and the Mesozoid and above in the Staircase to the north.
