What should be asked.
This thread is a great example of the Creationists mind set and ability to even frame a question worthy of serious investigation.
First, let's take a look at what the evidence shows.
There is more than ample fossil evidence that kangaroos and wallabies and even wallaroos were in Australia not just long before man arrived but rather millions of years before man arrived.
There is zero evidence of any kangaroos, wallabies or even wallaroos in the Middle East at anytime before zoos.
So the proper Biblical Flood related question is "How did Noah get the 'roos he needed to load onto the Ark to replenish those that got wiped out in the Biblical Flood?"
Did Noah build a boat and go get them?
Did the 'roos hop on water to come to the Middle East?
Maybe the God in the Biblical Flood Myths parted the Indian Ocean so that two pair (or seven pair) of 'roos could hop over to Thailand and up through Burma and India and Pakistan and Iran and Iraq?

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: Gondwanaland, Wallace and biogeography
Or from Australia to a Middle East Ark launching site so they could be on board to get dropped off after the Flud.

Re: Gondwanaland, Wallace and biogeography
Of course they can make up any crap they want to, but the fact is that there is lots of evidence of 'roos in Australia before there were people there and NO evidence of 'roos in the Middle East until there were Zoos.
Now if the 'roos came to the Ark it goes back to the questions I asked back in Message 8.
Did Noah build a boat and go get them?
Did the 'roos hop on water to come to the Middle East?
Maybe the God in the Biblical Flood Myths parted the Indian Ocean so that two pair (or seven pair) of 'roos could hop over to Thailand and up through Burma and India and Pakistan and Iran and Iraq?

Where's the model?
I think it's a pretty good model. Of course you don't have to agree with it. I find many things evolution teaches silly too.
However, despite what you might think silly, the Theory of Evolution does explain the diversity of life we see around us.
How does either so called Intelligent Design or Creationism explain anything?
We have a different opinion on how these dates are calculated.
Opinions are of course, worthless. What is the model you use to calculate dates?

Cumberland Bone Cave
The Cumberland Bone Cave is interesting, but neither much of a mystery or any evidence for the Biblical Flood. Your problem seems to be believing what you've been told by parents, teachers or pastors, but there is lots you could learn that is factual.
You can learn a lot about Cumberland Cave here.
Of course the very existence of Cumberland Cave is a pretty strong refutation of any idea that the Earth is young and is of course totally irrelevant to the topic of this thread.

Re: Dates, evidence, and opinions, round 2
There is absolute evidence that there has never been a worldwide flood as described in the Bible.
Anyone who tries to assert that there was a Biblical flood is simply wrong and should be dismissed.
It really is that simple.
