Plate Tectonics

Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

(Isaiah 13:13) KJV

Current biodiversity on Earth is the result of evolution, and its distribution is the result of plate tectonics. These combine into Hypothesis 35 as we go from Noah to Peleg, and then from Peleg to Abraham.

Predictive Testable Hypothesis 35

• IF The Bible is true,
  • AND Noah’s flood happened and it was world-wide,
• THEN in order to account for the observed distribution of biological diversity:
  1. the Earth had to be one continental land mass, Pangaea, for a period of time after the flood,
  2. at some point after Babel, but presumably before Abraham (when the main narrative of the Bible begins), the Pangaea super-continent broke up.
• THEREFORE there ought to be a reference to the tectonic breakup of Pangaea in the Bible, during this period of time (Genesis 10:25).

Atheists love to taunt Creationists with jibes like: “how did the ancestors of the Monotremes swim to Australia?” or, “how did the ancestors of Penguins swim to Antarctica?” These aren’t issues if we incorporate the processes of evolution and plate tectonics into the creation narrative.

Before Peleg the core of the Earth was a solid structure. Tectonic plates formed because the expansion of hell melted the core. It caused the pillars of the Earth and the mantle to collapse. This caused the related phenomena of circumferential shortening and radial shrinkage. The interior of the Earth transitioned from wet to dry and tehom became sheol. We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) developed a 3D model of the internal structure of the Earth, based on a Biblical theory of gravitation, which allows us to solve a dispute between warring sects within Creationism. Well, solve isn’t really the right word. More like flush the schism down the toilet.

Peleg’s tectonics and the breakup of Pangaea took place after the people were scattered abroad after Babel, and this led to the current distribution of biodiversity. The difference between Matty’s Paradigm and popular science (SciPop) is that evolution isn’t the creation of new diversity, it’s really devolution which is genetic decay. God created kinds of animals and plants which all had complete genomes. Each kind had enough genetic variability to be able to give rise to what we classify into families and genera.
