Did Noah row to Australia?

If you believe the literal wording of the Bile answer the following:  

Did Noah row to Australia to capture kangaroos?  Did he row them back after the flood since they are found no where else today? 

There 25,000 species of ground beetles in South America who would not survive a flood.  Did Noah have 25,000 little jars for beetles on his boat?

    Why do you have to be so racist you believe in the made up god man in the sky you Nazi scum? Why can't you be a good socialist that longs for the downfall of the American way of life and be of the atheistic faith?

  • Anyone with any sense of reality would NOT believe that Noah's flood actually happened.

    And you bring up valid points. Take the one concerning how the kangaroos got to Australia.

    It was a lot more than just kangaroos. Before the arrival of the aborigines there were NO native placental mammals in Australia (except bats, which were able to fly there), and there are presently well over 100 different species of marsupials living in Australia, not to mention monotremes (platypuses and echidnas), as well as hundreds more that are now extinct and known only by the fossil record. For that matter, as in other locations around the world, fossils of dinosaurs are found in lower, older strata in Australia.

    So, given the flood scenario, one should wonder why only marsupials and monotremes, and no placentals, were able to make it to Australia.

    The obvious answer, and one based on considerably more evidence besides that problem, is that the story of the ark is pure myth and has no basis in reality.

    A much better explanation, and one that conforms to the evidence, is that the earth is much older than 6,000 years and life on earth is the result of evolution.

    Australia separated from the other continents about 160 million years ago and slowly moved by plate tectonics to its present location. When Australia separated, the early marsupials were the predominate mammals because the placental mammals had not yet come into their own. After the separation, the placental mammals became the predominate mammals in the main continental mass, and the marsupials, not being able to compete efficiently with the placental mammals there, almost became extinct, with only a few surviving species.

    Meanwhile, in Australia, not having any competition from placental mammals, the marsupials continued on and evolved into many species. That is why the present-day marsupials and monotremes (a transitional form between reptiles and full mammals) are the only native mammals in Australia.

    One other thing. Creationists say that the separation of the continents occurred during or shortly after the flood.

    If that had occurred, the continents moving to their present positions within the required short time after the flood would have caused an enormous friction and also exposed molten magma as the earth's crust opened up between the separating continents. That would have turned the earth's surface into a literal hell, with the result that the oceans would have boiled away and all life steam cooked.

    In fact, the reality is that sections, or plates, of the earth's crust are constantly moving by plate tectonics and carrying the continents with them, albeit very slowly, about an inch or so per year. This movement has been measured with scientific instruments and has been tracked in the analysis of paleomagnetism and other means. It is this process that caused the continents to slowly move over millions of years.

    It is also this process that results in mountain building over millions of years. When two plates impinge on each other, it forces the uplifting of the earth's crust. If the area that is uplifted was the sea floor, the marine deposits would be uplifted as well, which explains why those deposits can be found on the tops of mountains, which some creationists claim were caused by the flood.

    See this video, which explains how plate tectonics occurs and the evidence for it from magnetic anomalies in the ocean floor.

    Nope.  He took the larger terrestrial vertebrates that he could find.  The Lord took care of the rest, one way or another.  There is a chance that the land masses had not yet divided (until Peleg's day, anyway.  He was names Peleg -- Earthquake -- because the land was divided about the time he was born).

    Kangaroos are marsupials. DNA research indicates that marsupials originated in South America. " Australian marsupials arose from a single Gondwanan migration of marsupials from South America, across Antarctica, to Australia."

    Most people do not understand the story of the Great Flood, and thus make numerous ignorant statements about the catastrophic event based on erroneous assumptions without even realizing it--just like you have done.  For example, a common false assumption is that the geography of the earth we see today is the same as it was pre- and even post-flood.

    If instead you'd like to become an expert on the Noahic Deluge (at least compared to almost everyone else), watch these very interesting vids below.  Good luck and God bless

    Don't be absurd! Of course not! God just contracted Steve Erwin and Crocodile Dundee to rustle up pairs of those Aussie critters and chartered a couple cargo jets from Qantas to bring 'em 'round. Piece of cake!
