In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
( Genesis 7:13-16 ) KJV

If Noah’s ark was the origin of all terrestrial life then we can see the role of evolution. There were 2 horses on the ark, now there are at least 7 species in genus Equus. Evolution is part of the creation narrative.

Pangaean Geography

After Noah's flood Pangaea may have has a Mediterranean sea

September 2nd

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
( Genesis 11:1-5 ) KJV

Pangaea is typically described as a contiguous landmass, but some renderings show the land arranged around an ocean. We have edited an image of Pangaea to show an ocean which would become the Mediterranean Sea.

Pangaea

September 1st

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
( Genesis 11:1-2, 8-9 ) KJV

IF God caused people and animals to spread abroad upon the face of all the earth,
AND this must have happened before the breakup of Pangaea,
THEN after Noah’s flood the earth was one continent (Pangaea).

Earth in Upheaval

Then Job answered and said, I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
(Job 9:1-6) KJV

Earth in Upheaval is the name of a book by Immanuel Velikovsky which lays out his summary of the evidence for cataclysmic upheavals in the history of Earth.

Peleg’s Tectonics

To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
(1 Chronicles 1:19) NKJV

Peleg’s small and unremarkable appearance in the Bible allows us to resolve the expansion of hell, tectonic plates, evolution, distribution of biodiversity, and the fulfillment of prophecy with a theory of gravity.

Monotremes

Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
(Isaiah 42:10) KJV

Australia was part of Pangaea for 101 years after Noah’s flood. That’s how Monotremes got there. If you’ve been vexing Creationists with the issue of Australia’s unique fauna: time’s up, find a new game. Sing a new song.

Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.
(Genesis 10:1) NKJV

Pangaea was a contiguous landmass but it may have had an ocean which became the Mediterranean sea, the coasts of which became the cradle of civilization.

The Hydrology of Eden Deduction 5

You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
(Deuteronomy 5:8) ESV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) propose a model for the internal structure of the Earth on the third day. The hydrological cycle is based on the location of Jerusalem, formerly Eden.
