God's Creation Day Three:
God
Created Dry Land
"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 the gathering
together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good."
- Genesis 1:9.
The first thing God did on the third day was
to make the land surface rise up out of the water. Some scientists
believe that there was only one large landmass, or continent, when
God first made the dry land. The present day oceans were not the same
as the seas (ocean). The borders of the oceans today formed after the
waters receded from the flood. The day will come in the new earth
when there will be no more sea, but there will still be waters
above the heaven.
The Bible does not tell us how many
continents there were when he Created the earth. It may be that there
was just one large continent (Pangaea), that later separated at the
time of the flood. This would have occurred quickly in a period of a
few months, not over millions of years as evolutionists claim.
Christian's are often accused of believing that the earth is
the center of the Universe, and that everything revolved around it,
but it was Aristotle (384–322 BC) who taught this, not the Bible.
