One Continent

A scientist named Alfred Wegener usually gets credit for the idea that there was originally just one continent. But he was mocked because he didn’t really have an explanation of how the continents moved.

But many years before, a scientist, Antonio Snider-Pellegrini, had read Genesis 1. It says God gathered the waters to one place. Seeing how the continents seem to fit together, he said maybe there was just one continent that broke apart during the global flood. Now His work was basically ignored because Darwin’s Origin of Species came out the same year.

Many people claim creationists can’t do science—but they do, and they’ve made great discoveries.
