Re: Again I ask what is your alternative
I think it is humorous for evolutionists to defend a bunch of mindless monkeys on some freedom flotila bound for South America. The ocean is a harsh environment for seafarers. People don't survive very long on life rafts. Maybe monkeys can do better though.
Try David Lewis` books-'We, the Navigators' or 'The Voyaging Stars' to see how Polynesians managed to sail thousands of miles, along with a cargo of critters, even into the unknown.

More ocean travellers
Another good read is 'A Fragile Paradise' by Andrew Mitchell, a naturalist, who shows how distinct species might have reached far-flung Pacific Islands.
