How did Noah get all the animals to the ark?

How did he get the Kangaroos from Australia, the polar bears from the Artic, the pandas from China, the turtles from Galapagous islands etc?

He didn't! Whenever we scrutinize the bible from a scientific perspective as opposed to the proper moral and spiritual perspective, we usually find a lot of hooey. With the current biomass of all living creature at 75 billion tons, and genetic variance so large, even we, with science and computers and high-tech communication and collaboration haven't discovered every creature on our fine rock. When religious folks start talking about the science behind the religion, a lot of us serious scientists are left confused as to why they even bother.



A few things to consider if my sources have not completely convinced you. Can you build a boat large enough to contain 2 of each creature without the boat structure becoming unstable? How would extremely large and extremely tiny creatures be transported? What about creatures with extremely ephemeral lives? What about creatures who need incredibly specific habitats?



When religion and science square off in science's domain, science wins. So remember, if you must have a religion, use it as a spiritual guide, not a creed that should guide public policy, personal interactions, or choice.
