If not then did Noah find penguins and polar bears in Palestine?

Or did those penguins and bears walked to him instead?

Don't try to put logic on fairy tales.

It's a story. A parable. You could make the same logical argument about how the entire Earth got re-stocked with people and animals even though the only survivors washed up on Mt. Ararat with no possible means to reach the New World. I expect the Literalists to give some interesting responses...

Kaela needs to do some research...many species of penguins are native to the South pole.

When I get to heaven I'll ask him.

But I also know, he was building that boat for what, 40 or 60 years (help me out brothers and sisters). Point being...God wanted those animals with Noah, wasn't like they had to be there tomorrow night.

second point...before the flood, there weren't any floods or major rains. Not all the 40 day rain came from clouds, but in the beginning, the water burst from the ground.

...there's the assumption that the world we see today was the same as it was then. It's not...don't forget the "firmament" that held the water above the water was now gone (could that have been a atmospheric covering made up of fine crystals, which really would have changed the environment).

Just something to think about.

Polar bears come from the north pole and their are no native species to the south pole but anyway back to your original question god brought all the animals to Noah he didn't have to go anywhere.

The text says "Pairs of all creatures having the breathe of life in them CAME to Noah..." (Gen. 7:15).

BTW...Your question seems to imply that penguins and polar bears live together. They don't - Penguins are in the south and polar bears are in the north.

Noah and his sons traveled little before the deluge. The Lord sent the selected species to the Ark.

in accordance to the Biblical textual content fabric, Noah had over one hundred years to construct the ark which could have been an unmistakable witness to the coming near judgment of God. Jesus no longer purely reported this adventure as a actuality of historical past, yet tied his coming near return to a time while the scenario in the international could be corresponding to those on the time of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39). If and while the ark is discovered, there'll as quickly as lower back be a huge monument pointing in direction of coming near judgment. My desire while this occurs is that people who have not located their faith in Christ will awaken and achieve this by way of fact their probability could end quickly. the commonest question asked relating to the validity of Noah's ark is, "How ought to tens of millions of distinctive animals extra healthful on one small boat?" First, there have been no longer tens of millions of animals. no longer each and every "variety" of animal became needed to be on board. in accordance to the Biblical textual content fabric., neither bugs nor amphibians could have been taken on board. purely those animals that should no longer have survived a twelve months long flood needed to be on board. besides, each and every minor version of animal (species) became no longer modern-day. Wolves, foxes, coyote, and dogs could have come from an unique dogs variety. Making the beneficiant assumption that the common animal length is as super as a sheep, and between 2 and seven of each and every variety of animal have been taken, sixteen,000 sheep-length animals, on the main, could have been on board. This extensive variety could have been as low as 2000 if the Biblical "variety" is akin to the kin point of cutting-edge animal type. those numbers comprise each time-venerated residing and extinct variety of mammal, fowl, amphibian, and reptile. This became no small boat. Noah and his kin had over one hundred years to construct a vessel longer that a soccer field and 3 thoughts extreme. the entire area available became akin to 522 railroad inventory automobiles. A inventory vehicle holds 240 sheep so the ark could have held a hundred twenty five,000 animals. At maximum, purely 40% of the entire area became needed for all the animals! something could be used for food and storage. The account of Noah's flood is corresponding to many different Biblical thoughts. They make suitable experience in case you assume they recommend precisely what they say and take time to check them carefully.
