My conjecture was that the new world or other continents could have been reached via boat after the flood.

You've just destroyed Darwin's theory.

Anyone from Noah's lineage (I.e., everyone after the flood) would have some concept of transoceanic travel, in historical narrative, at least. Some might have been able to execute it...

Please explain.

It's fine to imagine the scenario, but as @JudgeRightly has done, you have to keep reading to see whether the Bible allows for your scenario. It doesn't.

There was, starting around 41AD. He was a son of Annas.

@Idolater And it seems like God understood the timing involved, which is why He separated the people at Babel before the world was divided (Peleg's timeframe)--so they would reach those other continents and islands before the land bridges disappeared.

I don't see why boats would be contentious, and any boats they had would likely not be around any more, just like much of the technology the Mayans had has been lost to the people descended from them. Land bridges (due to water being out of the ocean during the ice age, as shown by settlements...

On to Acts ... and the gospel of Luke, by extension... Acts was written by Luke, who is NOT Paul, and since it was written as a letter and addressed to a man addressed as "O, Theophilus", it counts as a "non-Pauline epistle", though most would not necessarily think of it that way, nor is it...

How does that support the idea that the earth was covered with water ~6000 years ago?

Sorry for not getting your drift, but if what is true?

It seems like your belief in 6-day creation should lead you to the conclusion that dating techniques aren't accurate enough to really say that anyone has been in America that long.

As far as we know, though, there weren't any creatures in the water until after there was also dry land. Did you think some people might have survived 150 days of the water covering the earth during Noah's flood? It doesn't seem like the Bible allows for that.

Back to you @Idolater

Genesis 1:2 (KJV) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:6 (KJV) And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters...

No disrespect received--I just thought it was an odd post from you. I can understand the concept. Do you understand his point?

I agree with your premise in general, but it isn't necessary that the water all came from below the crust or was present above the crust within the atmosphere. Genesis 7:11 (KJV) In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were...

We should all be hoping.

Then they must be birds, since they come in flocks. Acts 20:29 (KJV) For I [Paul speaking] know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Really? Hope is one of the primary Christian values. Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
