Creationists get a little help from God....
I think this is a bit dodgy. Why would God put closely related creatures on continents that were once one large land mass? Why are there few mammals and large animals on the large Pacific islands? Why would God place the species in the places that would appear to be natural migrations -- especially the ones that make sense if one assumes an old earth and common descent?
Speaking personally, I find few things more awesome than contemplating this vast and majestic process of evolution, the ebb and flow of successive biotas through geological time. Creationists and others who cannot for ideological or religious reasons accept the fact of evolution miss out a great deal, and are left with a claustrophobic little universe in which nothing happens and nothing changes.
