So you believe plate tectonics are responsible for the distribution of marsupials, even though it was the Creationist, Antonio Snider, who in 1859 first espoused the idea, basing his beliefs on Gen 1:9-10 which implies there was one land mass.

Gen 1:9-10 which implies there was one land mass. Neat-o. We always turn to Gen 1:9-10 whenever there is a question about geography or geology. Like how far is it from Iowa to Texas? It's right there in Gen 1:9-10. Or using a flat earth route, how far is it from Jerusalem to New Zealand, avoiding the rocks described by the Greeks. It's right there in Gen 1:9-10.

What in the world does that have to do whether plate tectonics is a real phenomenon or not? I'm sorry, but I simply don't cherry pick what science I'm going to "believe in" based upon whether my ideology concides with that of the field's founders. That's antithetical to the nature of science.
Besides, he wasn't the first, that was about 150 years earlier. :-D
