Man was in Pangaea

Dates are built by counting

They are built on a belief that laws were always the same on earth. Thus, radioactive decay is assumed to have also existed.

Earth's is synchronized in many ways 

So you do not know if rotation and or spin change would affect the length of a year or not. OK.

One way to test how long ago Pangea broke up, is to look at fossils.   The distribution of fossils in different continents often show continuity with identical areas on other continents.   

There are a number of such cases, but never any mammals.  We do see one case of mammal-like reptiles (cynognathus) but it remains more reptilian than mammalian.   So the continents separated not only before man, but before almost all mammals.

 

So in other words the dates you use for fossils should be used for the dates that the continents separated. The problem with that is that the same belief is used in both dating regimes.

Are you saying there was a time when the sun didn't give off radiation?

No because you only know what a year is because of seasons. Same if the earth stopped spinning one side would always be day. how are you going to know how long a day is? Without a mechanical clock

Can't view earth rotating around the sun from above the solar system and say yup that's one rotation. Other signs are used to determine a year one rotation of earth around the sun. Which is a spin rate also means the same thing basically.

I am saying that we do not know what the laws and forces were in the past on earth. There was heat. But we do not know that it was produced exactly as it is now in the sun. Remember the sun was created after earth was made. It did not form the way science claims for sure. Neither did the earth of course. Whatever forces existed were in perfect harmony and worked perfectly. Our present forces and laws and nature also works as it should. The issue is whether the past and present are the same.

I heard that science says the days used to be a little shorter. I think Barbarian posted something on that. That was not because the earth stopped spinning. If the planet turned at a faster or slower speed, it seems that would change the length of a day.

The thing is there is a certain speed at which earth spins and rotates. If that changed then the day would be affected.

I don't read the days like most bible theologians.

I read them as such, 1,2,4,3,5,6 imo I don't need to wonder how plants grow without sun light.
