Genesis states "And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and he gathering together of the waters called He Seas" (1:9-10). It further states that "in the days of Peleg the earth was divided" (Genesis 10:25). Creationists have pointed out that these passages support the notion of plate tectonics, although the speed at which the continents moved apart must have been much faster during the last 6000 years to account for the distances seen today<ref>http://www.jpdawson.com/pelgnet/pelchap1/PELCHAP1.html</ref>.  It is also worthy of note that modern Israel sits at the proposed center of the supercontinent Pangea, indicating that it was indeed the center of the Earth at the time of creation and that the continents are essentially drifting away from that point today <ref>1</ref>
