How Did Animals Spread Around the World After Noah's Flood? - Dr. Kurt Wise

[@davidgardner863]

Wise is a geologist, not a biologist.

[@IsGenesisHistory]

@davidgardner863 Actually, Dr. Wise is a paleontologist by training, which means his expertise spans both geology and biology. Paleontology is an interdisciplinary field that involves understanding the fossil record, which requires a strong foundation in geology (to study rock layers) and biology (to study the organisms those fossils represent). While Dr. Wise's formal academic background might emphasize geology, paleontology inherently involves biological knowledge as well, especially when studying the history of life on Earth.

That's an error of steady state logic, which assumes things work the same now as they did "back then", whenever that was. The antediluvian ocean may not have been so salty as it is today. Maybe a creation geologist could take that up as a subject to examine in depth.

@@PatrickKQ4HBD In the short time since reading your interesting comment, I have been looking into the salt levels in the oceans and it seems that subtropical areas of the Pacific Ocean are becoming fresher, while subtropical areas of the Atlantic are becoming saltier. There difference in salinity between the two oceans has increased 6% in just the last 50 years. This certainly suggests these levels could have changed dramatically in the time since the flood. There is a lot that scientists still do not understand about the salt in the oceans. One of their big questions is why they are not saltier than they are, because they assume huge stretches of time for geological salt deposits into the oceans. If Genesis is actually history, their assumptions for how old the earth is may be far too long.

After the flood was an ice age due to warm waters from the deep and mass amounts of volcanic activity. Ice age lasted a few hundred years. Oceans levels were lower and exposing land connecting land masses; also, ice sheets would have made connections in northern and southern regions.

Today, lemurs live only on the island of Madagascar while their closest relatives lived on mainland Africa (as evidenced by the fossil record). Tortoises and iguanas living on the Galapagos islands are closely related to tortoises and iguanas in Central and South America. The closest fossil relatives of South American hoatzins, monkeys, caviomorphs (a group of rodents), and phorusrhacids (terror birds) are all found across the Atlantic. All of these examples of disjunct distributions post-date the break up of Pangaea (even according to an old-earth timescale). So literally the only way to account for them is by rafting.

Sooner or later people are going to have to face the fact that the continents broke apart in the days of Peleg, 100 years after the global flood. An asteroid hitting the earth could have been a contributing factor along with centrifugal force of the spinning Earth which caused the continents to slide north as a result. South Africa appears to be where the South Pole was before the breakup. * It’s the reason for the glacial striations stamped on top of bedrock like a gigantic (broken) seal covering South America, Africa, India and Australia from glaciers that were moving from south to north from the time when the continents were all still connected to Antarctica at the South Pole. Of course this was after all the sediment layers from the global flood were deposited. * It’s the reason fossils including Spinosaurus and sediment layers line up between South America, Africa, Madagascar, India and Australia. (The fossils and sediment layers were deposited first and then the continents broke apart, 100 years after the global flood.) * It’s also the reason there are many frozen animals and forest ecosystems buried by tsunamis from the rise of sea levels in North America and Siberia as the continents were being shoved into the Arctic from the centrifugal force after the earth broke apart, possibly due to hardening of the sediments and other contributing factors. * It’s the reason animals made it to South America from Africa and humans did not make it there since they were still trying to build the Tower of Babel before the breakup of the continents. However jaguars were separated from leopards, greater grisons were separated from African honey badgers, tapirs were separated from …tapirs, otters were separated from …otters and all of the other animals arrived at various isolated places around the world before the breakup of the continents. * It’s the reason why the lifespan of humans was cut in half *a second time* since the global flood from a less than 500 year lifespan to a less than 250 year lifespan. It was a time of dramatic changes. * It’s the reason why the meaning of the word Peleg in Hebrew that meant “divided” turned into “as (where) the waters flow” (in between the continents) in the later Aramaic form of Hebrew. That’s quite an impressive but understandable change in meaning. * It’s the reason people isolated into family groups and began speaking their own language. (Everything that happens is of course ultimately by the power of God.) * It’s the reason for the formation of the Marianas trench and other subduction zones. The potential for movements of the plates and continents is very likely considering the volumes associated with them. It wouldn’t take much geologically speaking to get them to move although they have reached a place of equilibrium at this point. * It’s the reason there are dinosaur footprints showing that a dinosaur began walking in Africa and this same dinosaur continues walking in South America also showing that the breakup of the continents happened after the sediments were deposited by the global flood. *Last but not least, it’s the reason penguins never made it to the Arctic since there was no land there for them to breed in the Arctic. …And now you know the rest of the story, the whole story.

If that was even possible - given the time-scale at open sea, why did the animals not simply climb onto a raft at the BEGINNING of the Flood and stay put, there? That would, in fact, by orders of magnitude be a more plausible explanation than the one given, here). The "rafting model" is but a desperate straw for Young Earth Creationists to cling to, because however impossibly unlikely, it is the least desperate brain child, when the Earth HAS to be 6000 years old and the Flood HAS to have happened 4,500 years ago, and all land-living life HAS to have spread from eastern Turkey. But reality is that this is ludicrous. It doesn't even qualify as a "model". Models have to have something of substance to be based on. This "model" does not. It really is merely "for-a-lack-of-anything-else,-we-pretend-that-this-is-a-valid-hypothesis-and-invite-you-to-pretty-please-not-laugh,-cause-if-you-do-we-might-counter-by-questioning-your-faith".

And here you are. Thinking everything came from nothing, life came from non life and chaos produces order. God's word is truth

@kurtdejgaard You seem unaware that even mainstream scientists are beginning to accept oceanic dispersal (via rafting) as an important mechanism for explaining disjunct distributions of plants and animals around the world (Ali, et al. 2019). For example, this is how monkeys, caviomorphs (a group of rodents), hoatzins, and phorusrhacids (terror birds) are thought to have gotten to South America, across the Atlantic Ocean, from Africa. As such, I do not think it is a fair assessment to say the rafting model is "useless" or lacking substance when even mainstream scientists are beginning to use it as well. While the presentation above does utilize modern ocean current configuration, ocean configuration in early Cenozoic (post-Flood) times would have been largely the same as it is today because the continental arrangement was also largely the same. More specifically, there very likely would have been a form of South Equatorial Current in the early Cenozoic. Regarding your specific sloth example, tree sloths do not appear to have existed at the time of the Flood. They seem to belong to the same created kind as the ground sloths, and likely descended from them. Ground sloths were more at home on the ground and could travel much faster than their modern, tree-dwelling cousins. This if further explained here: zoocreation.com/the-sloths. References: Ali, J. R., & Vences, M. (2019). Mammals and long‐distance over‐water colonization: The case for rafting dispersal; the case against phantom causeways. Journal of Biogeography, 46(11), 2632-2636.

@@IsGenesisHistory "Important" petty much limits itself to a few land species reaching the Galapagos Islands. There's a not so slight difference between that and explaining how Marsupials all ended up in Australia and the sloth, in South America, all from eastern Turkey. Reminding you that the koala's diet consists exclusively of eucalyptus leaves - how could it know Australia is where that tree is found? And what did the koalas live off, until they got there? But then, I guess, that's the least of your worries: A post-Flood Ice age with a mile-thick ice blanket that "just" came and went in Europe, North America and Siberia, while nobody noticed, must make it hard for anyone with a science background to continue all of this, with a straight face. PS. I like your "land-sloth" hypothesis. Rapid adaptation by evolution (a process that must be at least 100 times faster than Darwin's) is needed. Do you also suggest that the emu flew to Australia and then rapid-evolved in the same way to lose its ability to fly? Maybe all Australian animals had wings and lost them after they arrived, by the same process. -Again, a considerably more likely explanation (however ludicrous) than the rather desperate raft-suggestion. PPS. As for you "raft" reference, a quote from it: (quote) "The few cases where LDOR has been invoked for mammal colonization have all involved small-bodied animals, several of which are able to drastically reduce their metabolic rates through torpor/hibernation when food and water are scarce." (unquote) Which of the kangaroos can do this? Koala? Wombat? Tasmanian Devil? ...

Unbelievable 😂

What an interesting hypothesis, at utterly no scientific reasoning to support it. Considering the timeline that most people believe that the flood occurred. We have absolute knowledge that many people of the earth did not suffer any such occurrence in that time strain. The fact that the biblical words that were used from the original Hebrew were translated in a completely erroneous fashion. Indicating that a flood that was tremendously large but limited to a fairly large geographical area. Which did not occur across the world. Indicates that it was either a localized event. Or it's a complete mistranslation of the huge global catastrophes, plural, and we have still have localized animal populations that are completely different from anything on other parts of the planet, especially when you look at animal species that are natural to Australia but virtually nowhere else on the planet. This is the most childlike construct I have ever heard. I am of the theory that many of the changes that scientists think take great eons of time to occur do not occur in Long stretches as much as people would like to think. But there are great stretches of time where some isolated occurrences do happen, or have happened. The Chinese for example have written records that go back long before the timeline of the flood and list no such occurrence, and they have a very consistent timeline for their history. And have been shown to be highly accurate when you finally learn the truth. But many of the things listed in the Bible are either not in exact chronological order, and/or their chronological order is considerably abbreviated.

There is approx 200,000 to 300,000 species of animals that inhabit Australia, of which approx 100,000 have been categorised, think about the probability of that number ( and actually in mating pairs ) floating on logs to Australia 😂😂😂😂

Some simpler answers: Kangaroos didn't need to hop back to Australia because the writers of Genesis didn't know kangaroos or Australia exist, therefor there were no kangaroos on Noah's ark. Simplest answer:Noah's ark and the worldwide flood are myths.

[@mirandahotspring4019]

Surely the kangaroos, wombats, koalas, thylacines, platypus, and wallabies would have simply hopped onto a QANTAS flight, no doubt they would have been able to negotiate a good group rate.
