Evolutionists explain the worldwide distribution of animals with the Pangaea theory, which is basically the idea that all the continents were once connected as a single land mass and have since drifted apart.

According to the bible, the flood drowned every single land animal except those that were present on Noah’s ark. The ark is believed to have reached dry land on Mt. Ararat, which is located in Turkey. This would imply that all the animals and people repopulated the world from that location.

Ignoring some technicalities, it is hypothetically possible for humans to build boats and colonize all the various islands and continents. Animals, however, could not. While it is true that humans could bring animals with them, there are parts of the world that have never been colonized by people, but are home to a variety of animals and plants.

So how does the flood theory account for the fact that penguins, a flightless bird, got all the way from Turkey to Antarctica? Sure, penguins can swim... but not for a distance like that. And why are some of the largest predators found in North America? Why would anyone decide to load up a boat full of bears and wolves and take them across the Atlantic?

And then of course there’s the problem of the Amazon Rainforest, which has the highest biodiversity of anywhere in the world. How is it possible that a location on the other side of the globe would have more species present than at the location where life began?
