Best wishes for the new year.
 
Fred's comment on the great flood, continental drift and Peleg's ordeal brings to mind  my conversation with my geologist friend. ( One was named Peleg because in his time the earth was divided Gen. 10:25)
 
My thoughts are the world was much smaller in diameter before the flood i.e. a year was 360 days. There were no oceans. The earth was a single land mass. The expansion of the earth and upheaval of the mountain ranges gave way to gaps between the " high ground" ( continents). As the water rained down from above, it flowed down to the low places to form oceans, the extreme water flowing velocities carved such canyons as the Grand Canyon, the Hudson River Canyon and others.
 
Most likely source of water from above was Mars being stripped of water. This would require a reorientation of the planets afterwards. Hmmm !!   
To each his own.
