The marsupial population of Australia contains animal families and species found nowhere else on earth - not even in fossil form. We are to suppose that each species of marsupial managed to get from Mt. Ararat to Australia, but couldn't find its way to any other part of the world? Even including those regions located between Turkey and Australia? Despite the fact that most marsupial species are out-gunned when they are forced to compete with non-marsupial (forgot the term here) mammals (hence the extinction of so many marsupial species after the introduction of European mammals), we are to suppose that wombats and wallabies, bandicoots and koalas, kept ahead of lions-tigers-'n-bears all the way to Indonesia, and then find a mystery land bridge all the way to Australia. And, you expect us to believe the superior non-marsupial predators couldn't manage the same? As if this were not mind-boggling enough, after all this implausible world travel, and after all the dust had settled, it turns out that the types of marsupials that made it to Australia just happened to form an ensemble able to fill all the ecological niches available!
If this isn't evidence against the idea that a dormant volcano in Asia Minor is the center from which all the animal species of the world have dispersed, what about the problem of cave-dwelling species of animals? Many of these creatures are blind, and have been for thousands of years. We can only imagine the trouble they had finding their ways to caves in Patagonia, Florida, New Zealand, and Sardinia. While we're in the dark, what about the fact that nearly all separate cave systems in the world have unique faunas - practically every cave and sink-hole system in Florida has its own unique species of camel crickets, for example - it is hard to understand how this can be explained from a flood viewpoint.
And what of the Aztecs, Myans, and Incans? Sophisticated American continent civilizations with no idea of Yahweh. These cultures rose to their height very soon (almost immediately) after the time of the supposed flood. The descendants of Noah had to work extremely fast to get all the way to the Americas and build these civilizations (and loose their ship-building skills in the process). However, there is no mention of Yahweh's flood in their history and religion. How could this be? Wouldnt the flood be a very recent event for them? Wouldnt they be worshiping Noahs God for allowing them to live? These cultures have completely different creation stories than Noahs. (Also, these cultures were flourishing during the supposed time of the tower of babble, so dont go there.)
