Yup.
The earth was one big supercontinent at the time.
Humans can travel 20 miles/day (I am sure animals can do more, but lets just use that scale.) At that rate, one could make it to Australia in less than 1/3 a year - basically in a summer.
God said that the waters will come from the firmament in the sky, but also from the deep, and from the fountains of the water. The Flood was a global seismic event - and is even theorized to be from a long-orbit dwarf star companion of the sun. So, if Pangea was one land mass (with a bunch of lakes/rivers,) then it should make sense how a dwarf star (or any seismic activity) can cause continental separation (this is where waters from underneath can come from too,) super waves, and even severe weather (especially given seismic activity includes vulcanism.)
So, the critter (or even Noah's ark) could have dropped off in Australia when the activity stopped, and as the waters receded. He sent a dove out a few times, and it eventually came back with an olive branch, but the waters didn't necessarily recede in one day - or even at one time. He even sent a dove after one found an olive branch, and the bird didn't come back.
Gen. 7:4 "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights;...
Gen. 7:10 "And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth."
Most interpret this as meaning cramming seven days worth of light into one day. That is wrong; the reference is to the seven days prior to the flood. The reference apparently got translated out of a language which doesn't use articles. It should read "as the light of THE seven days"."...Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days..."
Gen. 5:25 -]
"And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years and begat Lamech.
And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters. And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years. [i.e. he lived 969 - 187 = 782 years after Lamech's birth];
And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years and begat a son.
And he called his name Noah... [182 + 600 = 782 also...]
...however, Lekah, Gen. 7.4) BR 3.6 (in the week of mourning for Methuselah, God caused the primordial light to shine).... God did not wish Methuselah to die at the same time as the sinners...
"For yet seven days, and I shall cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights..."
What about Surfboards?
Noah could have made Surfboards for all the Aussie animals. God could have taught them how to use them super quick, and then created some great waves.
I think you will find this is a much more plausible explanation than positing that the whole continent of Australia caught a wave and surfed to its current location.
The famous ID representative Kent Hovind dismissed the idea of Pangaea. According to him, Africa would have had to shrink roughly 40%.Ha, that would give questioners answers as to why God claimed the whole "world" would be flooded - it was Pangaea - PAN (all) GAEA (Earth) - literally "all earth." The "world" was all one. Then, there is Panthalassa (thanks AV,) which was the "waters separated from the firmament under the waters (rainforest mist.)
HA. It is ridiculous how many answers are in our faces, while programmed culture teaches us to deny and ignore the facts - all while it is dancing in our faces!
De Nile....
Where in the bible did it say anything about a "long-orbit dwarf star companion of the sun." Where does it even say that stars are anything like the sun? How does a dwarf star cause accelerated plate movements that would separate thecontinents within a year?God said that the waters will come from the firmament in the sky, but also from the deep, and from the fountains of the water. The Flood was a global seismic event - and is even theorized to be from a long-orbit dwarf star companion of the sun. So, if Pangea was one land mass (with a bunch of lakes/rivers,) then it should make sense how a dwarf star (or any seismic activity) can cause continental separation (this is where waters from underneath can come from too,) super waves, and even severe weather (especially given seismic activity includes vulcanism.)
Much of the biblical flood story was actually plagiarized from "The Epic of Gilgamesh," the mythical Sumerian account of Ut-Napishtim written on stone tablets around 2000 BC. In "The Epic of Gilgamesh, one righteous man was spared from a worldwide flood by building a large boat with a single door and one window. The ark contained a few other human beings plus plant and animal specimens. Rains covered the mountains with water. Birds were sent to find land. The boat landed on a mountain in the middle east. Ut-Napshtim sacrificed an animal as an offering, and the Babylonian gods expressed regret for flooding the earth. Sound familiar?
