considering that Africa, Southwestern Europe, South America, and Central America appear to be split from one continent -- Pangea -- what are the odds that the continents split apart after the flood right about the time when God commanded people to disperse and fill the earth after Babel? That would explain how humans appeared on all continents at approximately the same time. hmmmmm.....

Let's see. The choices are:
Or the Flood never happend, the Earth is more then 6,000 years old, and people traveld from Eurasia to the Americas by glaciation formed during the last ice age.
Pangaea split up between 180 million years ago and 60 million years ago (from the first rift that started the Atlantic to the separation of North America and Eurasia). The genus Homo only began existing around 2.5 million years ago, and Homo sapiens only appeared around 200,000 years ago.image
Scientific consensus indicates that there was a massive amount of time between, say, the appearance of Homo sapiens in Europe and in North America.
@The Jamo
Why do you fundies always go for the most improbable, implausible and often downright ridiculous option? I really don't get it.
"...what are the odds that the continents split apart after the flood right about the time when God commanded people to disperse and fill the earth after Babel? That would explain how humans appeared on all continents at approximately the same time."
Noah, wife, three sons, their wives, all from the Mid-East. OK so far. The question is if this is the family that repopulated the earth after the flood where did different races come from? Please answer next post as I've always been curious.
"That would explain how humans appeared on all continents at approximately the same time. hmmmmm....." Given that they DIDN'T
Thats right supersport,
Humans first appeared in Africa,and then many thousants of years later appeared on other continents,
Do some research

Man, it's sad to see such a desperate attempt to reconcile reality with the bibble. Now that the fundies can't deny that Pangea existed, they must somehow shoehorn it into their mythology or admit that the bibble is wrong. And since the bibble forms the entire foundation of their egos...they'll get a really big shoehorn.

Napoleon the Clown and The Jamo : It's just because those with more rational thoughts know their opinions are not worthy of being spewed out all over the internet. Though there are quite a few voices of ignorance represented on this board, there are a lot of repeats. This kind of stupidity is generally in the small percentage of those that are ignorant and ignorant and have too much time on their hands.
Re: races
While an admirable attempt to reconcile the Bible with science, your theory is not supported by science.
Thanks for trying, though.
What are the odds? Completely null and void, that's what they are.
Oh, and all of today's continents were once part of Pangaea, not just the parts you mention, stupid. Pangaea means "the whole world", ya know.
Humanoids are only a few million years old, and did NOT appear on all continents at the same time. They started out somewhere in modern day Africa and walked their way out into the rest of the world over hundreds of thousands of years.
That would explain how humans appeared on all continents at approximately the same time.
Lets see... appearance of Homo Sapiens on continents / regions:
Africa: 200.000 years ago
"supersport", you have an interesting definition of "approximately the same time".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
