Noah kept unknown millions species alive for a year inside a giant, floating crate.

The logistics of returning them home honestly pales in comparison to that miracle.

I have had similar discussions to this one before. They ususally go like this.

Me: How did the different species get back to thier respective homes after the flood? How did the blind marsupial mole manage to return to Australia and not get lost? How did Llamas return to South America without leaving populations along the way.

YEC: God is all powerful, if He wants to get a mole back to Australia then He can do it.

Me: Then why did he require a man to make a boat?

YEC. *silence*

The flood becomes harder and harder to support when you get more information.

The question popped into my head when watching one of Hovind's videos, where he was giving evidence for the whole Noah thing...

Any creationist takers?

Aside from divine intervention, there is no logical explanation for repopulating the Earth following Noah's flood. You'd need a combination of hyper evolution, massive population migrations, and almost no extinction/predation.

But since the biogeographical distributions of life on Earth falsify that very notion, it's a moot point. In short: it's fantasy.

He had 2 of every animal. That's a good question. However, I bet the oceans didn't appear until after the Flood. So they hopped, walked, crawled, or whatever they did. I think the oceans were created when the water came shooting from the crust.

He sent a Flood to leave evidence. Sadly, many men are willingly ignorant of the Flood.

But if the water didn't come "shooting from the crust" until after the flood (way after, I assume, so that the animals had time to migrate), there really is no way there was enough water for a global flood.

There is if there was an ice canopy.
