The question is -!How did those animals travel that distance, unharmed and wait until they reached that destination to mate? The other obvious issues about housing and feeding those other animals for a year haven't been addressed either.
The problem is, Dick, they are non-thinking flat earthers. Their creationist sites and their blind faith removes their ability, if they ever had any, of rational thinking.
Yeah, biogeography is a huge problem for YEC. But OEC gets around it in a few different ways. They argue Noah's flood happened longer ago and/or they argue the flood was local. They will often date the flood at 50000 years agoor more. This is because they at least have to hold onto the belief that the flood wiped out all other humans due to it's importance in Christian theology.
I never really considered what that does to the tools angle because I usually consider the story in the yec context where they had some modest tools. It would still have been a big job 5000 years ago. But if you had 4 men (Noah and his son's) working for decades (magically lived for 100s of years) maybe.
But 50000 years ago. Boats are only ten thousand years old and with stone age tools that would have been available they could not have built anything more than a dugout or a raft. I doubt they could build anything capable of carrying the seven (or was it eight) people forget the animals.
So who is stupider PiMPle and OECs or Ken Ham and the YEC? It's a tossup.
Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the homeborn among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
