"And God said, 'Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.' And it was so." Genesis 1:9 (NIV)
Here God is creating dry ground so more than just water creatures can live on the earth. According to what I know of science the earth did use to be one big Pangaea, so it stands to reason there was one big ocean surrounding it all. Even today all the oceans are connected. Streams and ponds run into rivers and lakes. Rivers and lakes run into the oceans. So today the waters are still gathered to one place.
The interesting thing to me is that last phrase, "And it was so." According to the QBible that "so" can be translated as "properly set." Not only did God create dry land, but it was created properly set.
