Actually, they did not need to herd the animals. God called them in and GOD closed the door of the ark. I suppose God had His hand in it the whole way. I have faith in Him.

Ok, fair enough. Although, I don't see where it says that in the King James account.

God called them in and GOD closed the door of the ark. I suppose God had His hand in it the whole way.

There's still the question of the kangaroos and koala bears. How did they get into the ark? Did they swim? I'm serious. That's a pretty long stretch for them to come on short notice and without transport. And afterwards, how did Noah distribute the kangaroos and koalas, new world monkeys and old world monkeys, American bison and African buffalo, European squirrel and North American? Did he sort of just pull up to this place or that and say "this is your stop- Wooly mammoths head north, African elephants south, Indian Elephants follow the spice trail?"

That's something that's always vexed me. What point to the African elephant in India and vice versa and to the wooly mammoth? Different characteristics obviously useful in different terrains. Noah would've had to wait for the Indian elephant to travel great distances and show up at the ark. Also for the wooly mammoth. If it were a baby when it started, it wouldn't be a juvenile by the time it reached where ever Noah was- if they survived the journey (just ask Hannibal). Something about this timeline is highly suspect and it doesn't take any scientific instruments to see that- just a little real world experience. How long does it take a kangaroo to get from Australia to the Middle East region?
