the main corroboration is the time of the flood which affected the whole world - which I propose was only possible if the world was pangean at the last ice age. All accounts point to this time.
The proposed era for Pangea, millions of years ago, is based on present-day drift rates, but a cataclysm of the magnitude described in all of the accounts of the nations back then would increase the rate many-fold which could then place Pangea and its separation at the supportable time frame 10,500 B.C.. If it fits, it fits; if it doesn't fit, then we throw it in the pit!

*** The reasoning behind your method of arriving at the 10,500 is flawed in my view. You appear to be saying that Pangea would be millions of years ago but for the flood so that the flood updated the era by hundreds of times to bring it to 10,500: you are using rough figures of millions and hundreds to derive a figure with rounding off errors of less than 5. That is the time of the flood according to the ancient records should be around 2,000 BC but this you dispute giving the figure 5 times as large ie 10,500.
The margin of error obtained by dividing millions by hundreds cannot distinguish between 10,000 and 2,000.
I trust you can see the point I am making.

As for the zero, I think you are right. Yet, the absolute integer would always remain zero because infinity is both positive and negative. So any and all integers multiplied by infinity equal zero - the absolute point between positive and negative infinity (relative fractions between zero and negative infinity, and zero and positive infinity).

*** I am afraid, your math is not sound: infinity being both negative and positive would mean multiplying it by zero will give negative and positive finite numbers.
We are multiplying zero by infinity [ie 0 x +ve infinity and 0 x -ve infinity respectively] we are not adding as you seem to be thinking in which case the +ve and -ve infinities would cancel each other out.
You are also evidently also making an error by thinking that integer means zero. Integer means whole number ie counting numbers like 1, 2 3...965 etc as opposed to fractions.
