The same word is used in Gen 1. God created the heaven and earth. I see no reason to think that this is what is meant.

 

As for how the earth was divided or split, we know that now. Nothing to do with an equator separation.

Your saying land divided a continent broke apart but the bible says the earth was divided that doesn't jive.

Continents are still moving they always do. Pacific ocean is shrinking and the Atlantic ocean is growing. Those measurements are recorded each year.

The bible says the earth was split or divided. In no way can we omit the physical division. We already know the supercontient broke up. Not my idea. The bible says that in the days of Peleg the planet or earth (same word used in Gen 1 for when God created the heaven and earth) was split. Divided. That is when God scattered man all over the world as well. So it jives perfectly.

If the world was divided fast in the distant past then any current little residual movements are not an indication at all of the past movements. Besides, regardless of any tiny moves going on today, do you realize that it looks like God is going to have the supercontinent again soon!? Every island will flee away from where it is and every mountain will be shaken low! It is possible and seems likely that the continents will come together again for the rule of Jesus on earth. Apparently the process starts with a bang! An earthquake such as the world has never seen. Not only will the earth be the way it was in the days of the fathers, but people here again will also live many many centuries! Plants will grow fast also and spirits will dwell here with men.

the chapter before 10 explains the division from Shem Ham and Japheth the whole earth was populated and divided from three

Genesis 9

18The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan. 19These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

That is not a part that talks about a physical division. Is there some reason is is not OK to ALSO talk about lineages and families and nations and etc? Gen 9 is before the days of Peleg and Babel and the split in the days of Peleg and God scattering mankind.

Yes God scattered people not a continent. They didn't ride on pieces of a continent breaking up.

Its about ancient Israel being among other people of the earth.

We actually all still ride on continents or islands. Gen 10 does say the earth divided. Man was scattered. The folks on what became continents after earth divided did ride on them as they moved far apart from other land masses. Not on 'pieces' of continents. There is no Israel in Gen 10 or 11. The earth being divided was not about them. There are no people mentioned when it says the world was split in the days of Peleg. People were involved of course and the bible says men were scattered all over the world.

if pangaea was one continent it broke up into pieces rather large pieces or not.

No people mentioned before days of Peleg? the chapter before mentions people 

[BeyondET]

there was people traveling on boats to other continents other lands.

Genesis 10

5From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.

It is no secret what pieces or continents the supercontinent broke into.

 

What I actually said is this "There are no people mentioned when it says the world was split in the days of Peleg"

In Gen 10 where it mentions the split it does not talk about people.

 

It talks about the earth the same word as Gen 1. The world dividing. It does not say nations separated. It says the earth divided.

Genesis 10:25

 

And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

Great. So? We have 2 known factors. One is that the world was divided. The other is that God scattered man all over the world. Whether some men happened to have bots or sometimes went fishing is basically inconsequential.
