A Serious Question: Pangea

What the yes, yes, yes, or no options that you gave if I got the
options down right? No, they are not equal, but as I said, I do not
know. It is interesting, but that is as far as it goes for me, that
question is like when will the rapture occur? My view, it doesn't
matter.

If it doesn't matter, then you would have no issue with scientists claiming that Pangea existed many million years ago. The issue of Pangea must matter to you to some extent if you believe in a young earth, at least to the extent that you must find several popular theories about it to be incorrect. Woud you want somebody to teach your children that Pangea existed millions of years ago, which necessitates the earth being older than 6000 years? If not, then the issue of Pangea does matter to you.

Do you or do you not think option (1) is compatible with your faith?

That is interesting isn't it, is it a matter of faith or fact? People of
good will can look at the same things and come up with different
ideas on what different things mean, not just this. As you know I
don't believe in millions of years, but feel it I would be remiss if I
didn't allow my kids to form their own opinions on the details,
those I agree with and those I do not. Basically this is like the
scripture question, what is a good translation and what isn't.

When I say it does not matter to me, it is like the rapture, that
doesn't mean that I don't think it is important. It simply isn't part
of my day to day, this is how and why I direct my life the way I
do type of topic. I see your point, but have you ever witnessed
a continent shift dramatically a few feet let along several miles?
Maybe the shape of the planet expanded and stretched the outer
surface so that the land shifted with part of it collapsing in the
water, maybe there are things that occurred no one has thought
of yet, I don’t know, I imagine unless someone was in space
looking down when it occurred if it happened quickly, it would have
appeared to be a localized earth quake of massive size so no one
wrote about it to the scale of what was really occuring. Maybe the
planet was always shaped this way after creation, I don’t know.
