Eating after they land
It isn't enough to feed the animals on the ark. They will need feed afterwards. A long lasting global flood will kill most vegetation. The seeds might survive, but it will take a while for those to germinate and grow. For grass eaters, it might only be a few weeks before there is sufficient. For those that feed on tree foliage, it will take a while longer.

If you were as absolutely convinced of the truth of the Bible account of the flood as a fundamentalist is, absolutely without a doubt knowing that it happened as described, knowing that God is the inspirer of the whole thing, how would you go about answering science's contention that it didn't happen?
I would think it sufficient to answer with "God works in mysterious ways."

Re: Query about figures.
You have no native hoofed creatures in australia and no native kangaroo fossils outside australia. The fossil record agrees that all species died within the world flood but not all perished. The lack of native hoofed creatures in australia and the fossil record itself is evidence in the natural that the flood was world encompassing disaster.
ROTFL
​
The distinctive fauna of Australia clearly refutes the flood story (except, perhaps, as a rather exaggerated report of a local flood).

Re: Query about figures.
The creatures in the southern hemisphere to a creationists would of survived on floating mats of vegetation: granted those that couldn't cling to these mats would of perished within the surface of the earth(fossil record of the creatures that perished within the earth).
I love these "floating mat" stories.
​
Genesis 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
​
If the Biblical account is correct, no animals survived on floating mats of vegetation. By proposing that Australian animals survived on floating mats, you are agreeing that the Biblical report of the flood is false.
​
If you accept that the biblical account is false, why bother with these absurd contortions involving floating mats?

Re: Query about figures.
Not at all, but your interpretation is in error. Your saying it says that every living substance which was above the surface of the earth was destroyed.
My comment was explicitely about animals. I took the text to not be counting plants as "living substance."
​
You cannot have the Australian vertebrates surviving on mats of vegetation, without contradicting Genesis.

Fishtanks, labs, airconditioners, greenhouses, and a supercomputer to keep track of it all?
Evidently there was a lot of modern refrigration and other equipment on the ark. It is strange that the text fails to mention this.
​
Badly worded perhaps, but I have been awake all night and in dire need of sleep
Does worry about the tooth fairy, or about Santa also keep you awake at night?

By the way, welcome to evcforum.
