Wouldn't that be a massive violation of the command to "multiply after their kind"?
All living marsupials - such as wallabies, kangaroos and opossums - all originated in South America, a new genetic study suggests.
Yep the animals most famous for populating Australia actually started out on another continent altogether. But marsupials a group of mammals known for toting their young in belly pouches on the females are still common in South America, too.
The recent study used new genetic data about some of these species to trace the family tree.

In all fairness, if you said something that absurd, would you want to admit it?
Not bad, actually. But it doesn't redeem you for thinking that species interbreeding and creating new species is a valid process to explain how all new species develop
Any animals that were there before the flood were destroyed by the flood. That would include any marsupials that were there.
In a series of new genetic investigations, experts demonstrate that kangaroos and other marsupials did not evolve in Antarctica, as previously thought. It would appear that the animals actually appeared in South America, and that they still exist there today. Marsupials stand out from other species through the fact that they feed and carry their youngsters around in special pouches on their bellies. With the new finding, experts are bound to gather even more data on the history of this family of creatures.
In order to make the research possible, scientists looked at the marsupial species that still live in South America today. The two recently sequenced marsupial genomes of the South American opossum (Monodelphis domestica) and a kangaroo, the Australian tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii), provide a unique opportunity to apply a completely new approach to resolve marsupial relationships, explains researcher Maria A. Nilsson. She is based at the University of Munster, in Germany, LiveScience reports.
Nilsson is also the leader of an international group of experts that conducted the new investigation. The group published its findings in the July 27 issue of the esteemed open-access journal PLoS Biology, which is edited by the Public Library of Science. The group reveals that studies highlight a very interesting point all marsupials living today, in both South American and Australia share a common ancestor. The conclusion was derived from analysis of special genetic markers called retroposons, which are identical in marsupials on both continents.
However, determining the history of this animal group for a fact is very difficult, given that no hard evidence exist. Researchers would be ecstatic to find a fossil of an intermediary creature, but thus far such a finding has eluded them. The genetic data seems to indicate that the species currently in existence as well as some that have since gone extinct separate from a common ancestor around 80 million years ago. At that time, the landmass that contained Antarctica, Australia and South America broke apart, and the three new continents began drifting on Earth's mantle.
Kangaroos Come from South America
How is that not possible and yet all of life; plant and animal; evolving from some magic Frankencell IS possible? The difference is, with God all things are possible. Without God, all things are impossible.
Just out of curiosity, could you state in a formal logical syllogism showing how evolution is illogical?
Just to say something is illogical is not very productive as I see the terms logical and illogical being thrown about by people who don't seem to understand the basics or application of logic.

Granville Sewell. He's better at math than me.
Surely you can regurgitate whatever it is he said that you find to be so compelling.
I already have, numerous times.
Some aspects of evolution apart from "species change" is illogical. Like the idea of common ancestry that we all came from a single cell or that dinosaurs can change into bird and apes can change into humans. It requires something along the lines of hitting the same lottery for a million dollars, a million times in a row.
The idea that random natural processes have reorganized the basic particles of Nature . . .
They've run computer models to try to recreate the process and it doesn't seem to work like that.
You are trying to tell me that a tornado running in reverse and building a house is not illogical.
No, it doesn't.It requires something along the lines of hitting the same lottery for a million dollars, a million times in a row.

The idea that random natural processes have reorganized the basic particles of Nature that then led to computers and ipods being invented is highly illogical and statistically impossible.

That was a theory I jettisoned in favor of God sending them back to their points of origination via an Acts 8 miracle.
I believe they stepped through the door of the Ark and were instantly back where they came from.
What's your answer, by the way?
Humans arrived in Australia about 15,000 years ago according to the skeletal remains at Lake Mungo. This would be after the flood.
The ancestors of the Aboriginal people arrived in Australia by boat from South America; it was probably an accidental discovery. They brought animals with them for food, suggesting they were not planning a long trip.
They didn't bring cattle with them; that would have meant a settlement. Instead they brought rabbit like marsupials. Food.
There were very few placental mammals in Australia before the flood so naturally you would not expect to find many after the flood, except for the kinds that were introduced by humans.
After the flood there were no predators, no dinosaurs, etc. so marsupials dominated.
When Genesis 6 talks about the earth being corrupt, it is talking about humans being corrupt and evil, not animals interbreeding outside their kinds.Yes. God saw the earth and it was corrupt in his sight; for all flesh had corrupted their way.
I can't even begin to understand how someone could think that rabbits and opossums could breed and create a kangaroo.
