Default A Geological Division(peleg days)

A Geological Division
The passages are from Genesis 10: 25 and 1 Chronicles 1: 19.
Quote:
According to the biblical chronology as deduced by Archbishop Ussher, the Flood occurred in 2349–2348 BC, and Peleg was born in 2247 BC about a hundred years later.So after the flood 101 years later ,human and livings begins to repopulate the earth and God divide the earth in their language,race,species,continents and islands.

HBME - ...; and to Heber were born two sons, the name of the first, Peleg; because in his days the Continent was split up; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Footnote: "Peleg" means "split" in Hebrew. "Joktan" means in the Hebrew "Lessened," probably referring to the "lessening" of the original continent by the "splitting" away of the American continents. See Prof. C. A. L. Totten's works upon this great geological convulsion. If we take a map of the two Americas, in Mercator's projection, and cut out the Atlantic, the indentations of the Eastern Americas and Western Europe and Africa fit into place. -- F. F.

...; and to Eber were born two sons. The name of the first Peleg, -- for in his days the earth was split in two. And the name of the other was Joktan.
Footnote: "Peleg" or "Phleg" or "Fleg" in Hebrew was "Split or slit off." This probably refers to the splitting off of the American Continents from Europe and Africa. "Yaktan." "Lessened." To commemorate the lessening of the primeval single mass of land. -- F. F.

No, it "probably" doesn't. The quotes should really read "quite possibly refers to...if you really want it to and you squint hard enough and you ignore the fact that it more "probably" refers to the Babel story, division of people by languages.

Given that the continents split off form each other (Pangaea) millions of years before the supposed "days" of Peleg, it's highly unlikely that this is what "divided" refers to.

So that it should not be moved forever,
(global flood)verse 6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains.
verses 8&9
8 They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,
That they may not return to cover the earth.

(dinosaurs??)
verse 26&29
There is that Leviathan
Which You have made to play there.

You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

And You renew the face of the earth.

Here also we could prove that leviathan is a reptile because they were return to dust after their specie was been cut off.they were likely a dinosaur so their bones remains and was discovered.They were all died before the face of the earth was renewed by God and that means that all people at that time knows about them like Mayan civilization,Inca,Chinese these known as dragon that was included to their origin.
