Floating mats and genetics
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).
So, if we accept the rather unlikely sounding idea that whole ecosystems of animals would survive a year on floating mats AND end up sorted out to specific areas AND that there were enough of each to not create genetic bottlenecks you are ALSO asking us to believe that the animals on these mats also just happpened, by chance and good luck to be sorted by their genetic relatedness too? (abe) That separate from their size, form, eating habits etc. they were sorted onto these mats by genetics?
Is this the hypothosis you want considered?
Edited by NosyNed, : just added a little for clarification

Re: Floating mats and genetics

No! These mats floated above the flood waters, not like the creatures that perished within the surface of the earth that became the fossil record.
You seem to have misunderstood the question entirely.
I am asking :
1) Are you saying that these mats floated to particular places like Australia, south america, antarctica etc. and that this floating of mats with PARTICULAR groups of animals explains the location of groups of animals that we see today. Yes or no?
2) If that is what you are saying then explain how the animals happened to be grouped the way they are. Is this because they were on one or more mats that happened to float to the specific places? Yes or No?
3)If yes to both are you saying that the sorting was done based on the genetics of the animals? yes or no?
My question did not mention the fossil record at all. Why did you introduce it?

You were asked for further clarification on this question.
It appears that you have no answer. Is that the case?

No
Then how do you explain that sorting?

Utter gibberish
So you have no explanation at all for the genetic sorting. All you can do is write utter nonsense.
That's not surprising of course.
