[On the animals getting back home after the flood]
Also after the flood and especially during the subsequent ice age there were many natural land bridges available so there would not neccessarily have been much swimming involved, and of course different animals have in the past been rafted from one location to another on mats of floating vegetation, of which there would have been an abundance after the flood.

It has been theorized, by creationists, that floating vegetation mats were possible, but for insects, not Koala bears!
Have you ever considered continental drift as a possibility?
They should just admit it, they got there by magic, everything's fucking magic, the ark, the flood, the animals, and it just has never happened again and nobody noticed it that time because that's what god wanted.
And to TheGrappler, Those are some fast continents then, but I guess if they say there was hyper-microevolution, then they can accept hyper-plate tectonics as well.
OF COURSE, everybody knows about the abundant rafts of floating vegitation, the ones that god programmed to ferry polar bears north, penguins south, and silverback gorillas out east. Those gorillas would've had a hell of time getting home if it wasn't for the ice bridge to China.
You're not so much debating christianity, as defacing it.
Ummm...so there was an Ice Age that followed the flood 5000 years ago? You'd think that we'd have some fucking evidence for all of this, no?
Oh, and drifting vegetable islands = retarded on innumerable levels.
Yes, all the animals walked on land bridges, or maybe they floated on icebergs.
The kangaroos didn't need one, they did a flying leap across the ocean.
"there were many natural land bridges available "
There certainly fucking weren't.
And there's fucking assclown Hams "floating vegetation" fairy tale. Hovind 'floated' that shit too, it's beyond reason enough to be it's own religion at this point.
“Also after the flood and especially during the subsequent ice age there were many natural land bridges available so there would not neccessarily have been much swimming involved,”
So, these land bridges. I don’t really care HOW many of them you postulate.
The Ark comes to rest, the waters recede, and then 95% of the biosphere makes sure that NO ONE DIES to leave a trace of their presence until everyone makes to their established range? And no one ever gets left behind, either?
And they knew, on day one, which direction to travel in in order to reach the land bridge that lead to North or South America, Australia, various islands…
And all the predators that Noah collected don’t EAT until they reach the appropriate terrain to leave the remains of the appropriate prey.
This is ludicrous.
“and of course different animals have in the past been rafted from one location to another on mats of floating vegetation,”
There’s no evidence of this, it’s a creationist suggestion to solve ‘how did the insects survive’ since Noah didn’t take any on the Ark. Simple answer is, they didn’t have to survive, because to the Bible Authors, insects aren’t alive. They’re just animated things that were flooded and then reemerged.
“of which there would have been an abundance after the flood.”
After the Flood? Surely you jest.
The creationist model demands that the vegetation covering the Earth was ripped up and buried in various sorted strata to give the appearance of plant evolution over deep time. Can’t have both, that all the vegetation was buried during the churn of the first 40 days AND that it remained a year later and played Lyft/Uber to the animals.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
