A local creationist suggested (in all honesty I think) that God used whirlwinds and angels to carry the animals from one place to another. Apparently that applied in both collecting and then depositing the creatures. He even tried to make jetwinds suit his way of thinking.

They (in all honesty, I think) are convinced that it's "science". Scoffers, like you, were predicted in the Bible. Remember, "science" explains exactly how Aboriginees got to Australia: Goddidit.

Although this reply is veering slighly offtopic...I have never understood how cretins (xians mostly) are claiming to be morally superior to us minnows of satan,.

My experience with religious people (I used to be one, too), is different.
The one’s I have met and still meet certainly don’t think they are morally superior to me and most of them also acknowledge that they don’t get all their moral values from the Bible. I have to add that I usually refer to the very unpleasant verses in the Bible they never heard about before. They don’t have enough knowledge about it to try apologetics.
On the net I see all these real fundies and funnies. In real life, I don’t normally. The only fundie I listened to in my church set me off on the path of atheism.
The ones I meet just believe their Ministers, Vicars, Priests, or whatever. The Muslims I meet are exactly the same. No fundamentalism around. (Well, I work in a Scientific Institution). Even all the the Muslims I meet accept an old earth and the Theory of Evolution, too.

All creation scientists have to tell porkies. The people who quote those scientists on the internet also have to tell porkies. That’s all they have.
quote:
I believe I am not very wrong when I claim that creationism is based on ignorance and stupidity and all it produces is hypocrisy, distortion of truth and more ignorance.
  —saab93f
You’re 100% correct on that one. That’s all they have.
quote:
This applies well in this topic as well - when no fact suits their claims then in comes distortion of known facts. Wallabies have never traveled from Australia to Turkey and back, period.
  —saab93f
Geography and evolution tied that Wallaby down. It doesn’t matter how many times creation scientists invoke wishful thinking and magic. Wishful thinking does not change facts.
Edited by Pressie, : Changed the words "lie" and "lied" to tell porkies to avoid those stars.
Edited by Pressie, : No reason given.

Thats the end of that debate then. Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry to hear that Christians make your heart burn with rage.

The debate ended a long time ago. Creationists should stop telling porkies before there can be any meaningful debate with them on anything.

How did the Aborigines get to Australia?
"How did the Aborigines get to Australia?"
The possible ways have been described throughout this thread.
However, there's absolutely no geological evidence that water simultaneously covered all of continental Australia within the last 10 000 years. This negates the claims of a global flood within the last 10 000.
