Plate Techtonics in the bible:
Pr 9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
1Sa 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.
Ps 75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
Continental drift?
Job 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
Plate Techtonics:
The theory states that Earth's outermost layer, the lithosphere, is broken into 7 large, rigid pieces called plates: the African, North American, South American, Eurasian, Australian, Antarctic, and Pacific plates. Several minor plates also exist, including the Arabian, Nazca, and Philippines plates.
The plates are all moving in different directions and at different speeds (from 2 cm to 10 cm per year--about the speed at which your fingernails grow) in relationship to each other. The plates are moving around like cars in a demolition derby, which means they sometimes crash together, pull apart, or sideswipe each other. The place where the two plates meet is called a plate boundary. Boundaries have different names depending on how the two plates are moving in relationship to each other
crashing: Convergent Boundaries,
pulling apart: Divergent Boundaries,
or sideswiping: Transform Boundaries
With respect to plate boundaries is your home located in the middle of, or near the boundary of a plate? What does this mean for you tectonically?
Hmmmm. I just wonder if there were any earthquakes large or small, from the time those stories were first passed from father to son, generation, to generation to generation until ink finally hit Papyrus?
