For Young Earth Creationists, the real miracle was required when the animals disembarked in what is now modern Turkey, and the poor duck-billed platypus and Koala had to make it across deserts, ocean straits, and jungles to Australia, in time to be discovered by modern humans - to say nothing of the flightless parrots and kiwis who had to get a further 1000 miles across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand. And your point is? Animals even today cover great distances in very short periods of time. The only thing you've demonstrated is incredulousness - not a practical impossibility. That's the difference between winners and losers. Winners find a way to make things happen or to discover how things happen. Losers stand back and grumble about how impossible it is without engaging or while engaging half heartedly.

By listening to the right motivational tapes? And if kiwis and moas and flightless wrens and kakapos made it to New Zealand, why didn't a single land mammal - not a mouse, not a rat, not even an otter - make it?
