Vernon,
Thanks for your prompt response. However, now I have another problem:
There appears now to be sufficient evidence that, at one time, the
continents of Africa and South America were very close together and that,
over the years, these continents have been spreading apart. There is
geological and fossil evidence that these continents were in close proximity
to each other, close enough for the flora and fauna to spread over both.
There is evidence of an mid-Atlantic ridge that runs roughly along the same
direction as the coasts of Africa and South America. This Atlantic ridge
contains geologically young rock and shows evidence of frequent reversal of
the magnetic N and S poles.
When, in your opinion, did this happen? The 1656 years certainly were not
long enough to cause the extent of the continental drift that led to the
current width of the Atlantic Ocean. However, if the continents drifted
apart after the Antediluvian period, how far does this push Noah back into
time?
Best regards,
Chuck
Hi Chuck,
Yes, that is correct.
