- Does the biblical story of Peleg describe the separation of the continents? A reference to this event in DC 133: made me wonder.
La Iglesia no tiene una posición oficial sobre este asunto
Esta es una de las muchas cuestiones sobre las que la Iglesia no tiene una posición oficial.
No todas declaración hecha por un líder de la Iglesia, pasado o presente, constituye necesariamente doctrina. Una sola declaración hecha por un solo líder en una sola ocasión a menudo representa una personal, aunque bien considerada, de opinión, pero no está destinado a ser oficialmente vinculante para toda la Iglesia. Con la inspiración divina, la Primera Presidencia ... y el Quórum de los Doce Apóstoles ... consejo juntos para establecer la doctrina que se proclama constantemente en las publicaciones oficiales de la Iglesia. Esta doctrina reside en los cuatro "libros canónicos" de las Escrituras (la Santa Biblia, el Libro de Mormón, Doctrina y Convenios y la Perla de Gran Precio), declaraciones y proclamas oficiales, y los artículos de la fe. Declaraciones aisladas a menudo se toman fuera de contexto, dejando a su significado original distorsionada.

Some Latter-day Saint thinkers have understood the matter as referring to the sudden separation of the continents in a catastrophic event. Others have regarded this as a misunderstanding of the text. The Church has no official position on the matter, and it does not play much of a role in LDS thought or discourse.

Genesis 10:25 contains a passing reference to man called Peleg, who received his name because "in his days was the earth divided". The Hebrew verb פלג (palag) means "separate" or "divide."
Some Latter-day Saints have interpreted this passage with extreme literalness, believing that the earth's tectonic plates, which were once a single land mass, all separated into the continents we know today during the life of a single mortal, instead of over hundreds of millions of years as scientists have theorized. Two of these were Joseph Fielding Smith and Bruce R. McConkie.
But the scripture doesn't require such an extraordinary conclusion: It is more likely that Peleg's name anticipates the division of languages at Babel in the following chapter. (Note that palag appears in Psalms 55:9 to refer to a division of languages.)
In the December 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, 1,000 miles of fault line slipped 50 feet, resulting in a 9.3-magnitude earthquake that created seismic sea waves up to 100 feet high. These tsunamis caused the deaths of nearly 230,000 people. The amount of force required to move the major continents thousands of miles apart in the lifetime of a single individual would cause much worse devastation, a global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale. Thus, to accomplish this without a divine miracle which hid all trace of such an event would be extraordinarily unlikely. But, such a miracle cannot be proven or identified by science or observation. Those who choose to believe that this is what happen can only rely on faith.
If the division is one of language, then DC 133:22–23 would refer to the return to a time when languages no longer divide humankind. This will take place during the 1,000 years of peace when the Savior reigns. Such a return to unity might also symbolize the passing of all the temporary, petty, and earthly matters which alienate humans from each other.
