then how come there aren't all different animals of the world living there NOW? Or at least some remains to show that they were there at one time? Did the penguins walk back to the arctic, the marsupials migrate to Australia, etc... and shouldn't there be a trail of remains showing this journey? (i.e. bones and other fossil remnnants)?

Hi....
Yep and after coming out of the Ark, the DoDo, decided....
''Im gonna just live on this wee little island here called Mauritius, in the middle of the Indian ocean!''
Dont you know? .... It had the power of Jesus too!
Because it 'walked on water', all the way across the sea, to get there, because as we all know, DoDo's cannot fly!
It could not have 'evolved' on the island, as a flightless bird, because as the religious keep telling us, 'evolution does not exist'!!!
Now... All together, lets chant! ......
EVOLUTION! ... EVOLUTION! ... EVOLUTION! ....lol.

Animals from all over the world traveled to Noah's place to get on board the ark before the flood. After the flood, when the ark ended at the Mount Ararat all animals and Noah's family get out of the ark and traveled to their places.
Going to back to Australia?
* Probably took rides at the back of the whales to cross the sea.
* Or God cut trees with lightning and the kangaroos sit over them and rafts.
* I will ask Jesus if he used teletransportation as Gene R. wrote for Star Trek.
Remains? If the two penguins left their bones in the journey, then there would be no penguins reaching the soutrh pole. So, no remains, they made it.

The mountain the Ark landed on replaced into truly in Antartica. which might have made it much less complicated for the animals to get to Australia than the different places. With the snow melting, this might quickly be shown to be no longer authentic!

Good question. Yes, and it's funny how people who are so demanding that evolutionary scientists provide every single fossil for every step of the evolutionary process, don't seem concerned about the fact that there are *no* penguin, kangaroo, etc. fossils on or around Mount Ararat, or on whatever path they might have followed to their current homes. (Or explain how kangaroos might have swam to Australia.)

It wasn't all the animals of the world, just the ones that Noah could get. The story is better told in Quran than in the Bible.
The Quran simply says: "So it was till then there came Our Command and the oven gushed forth (water like fountains from the earth). We said: 'Embark therein, of each kind two (male and female), and your family, except him against whom the Word has already gone forth, and those who believe.' And none believed him except a few. (Ch 11:40 Quran)
It is assumed that "each of two" meant animals that Noah could get.
"A great number of Muslim scholars all over the World assert that the flood during Noah's time was a local event, in contrast to the Biblical account which asserts that it was global." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah

That's what I want to know. If the Flood did happen then why aren't their more types of marsupial outside of Australia?

It the flood waters receded, how did so many varieties of animal, including flightless birds, make it to New Zealand? The problems with literal reading of Genesis are innumerable.

You've touched on one of MANY logical questions that cannot be answered by mythology.
And that's what the fable of Noah's ark is after all; a myth.
Nothing real about it.

Wait a minute, you can't use reality as the basis of these stories, it's against the religion. You can only explain religion from within the confines of the religion, otherwise it won't make sense and people won't believe it.

...and of course, one could use the same logic to apply to people...how only 8 survivors managed to replenish the entire Earth, including the Americas, which of course hadn't been discovered yet in Biblical times.
