Continental drift explains how the Earth once had a single large land mass which broke into continents that continued to separate, and that they still move slowly today. The breaking up of one land mass into the separate continents was first proposed by the French creation scientist Antonio Snider in 1859,[1] who astutely observed an almost perfect match between the coastlines of western Africa and eastern South America, which suggested they had once been joined. The idea was later taken up by Alfred Wegener in the 1930s."[2] Atheists mocked the concept for about 100 years (see scientific bias), until finally accepting its truth in the 1960s.[1]

Although Snider and Wegener did not have an explanation of the cause of continental drift, the rigid discipline of creation science allied with faith and logic eventually enabled creation scientist to interpret Biblical scientific foreknowledge in order to explain how a relatively recent cataclysmic event caused the separation of the still-moving continents from one land mass. Genesis 1:9-10 describes how all of dry land was in one place.[3] The continental drift occurring after the Great Flood when the earth was divided (Genesis 10:25).

Atheistic science rejects the Biblical truth and instead applies liberal logic to concoct a junk science explanation based on the present observed rate of continental drift, which came to the tenuous conclusion that the continents that we know today were part of a single land mass about 250 million years ago. Clearly impossible because that predates creation.
