Wouldn't that be a little difficult for animals suited for sub-zero temperatures to walk through the deserts of the Middle East then swim across great lengths of ocean to get back to their native habitats?
Poor seals, polar bears, walruses, penguins and sea lions and various other mammals. =(
Please don't say they could survive in the ocean during the Flood, they would fatigue in a day and drown in the ocean.

"You are making assumptions about the climate, the landscape, and what the animals were like when they arrived there."
Yah there was no Arctic and Antartic then, right?
Or there were no animals living in those places?
Or there Arctic and Antarctic weren't cold?
I mean I'm assuming A LOT.
Nice evading the question though.

These answers are hilarious, the BS creationists come up with.
Pangaea? lol
God sped up the continental drift by a factor of a trillion back then, didn't you know? =P

When you laugh at continental drift you're laughing at science. Remember to take advantage of all the science that benefits you and ridicule all the science that contradicts your really old book.

God flew them all back in his private jet.

You are making assumptions about the climate, the landscape, and what the animals were like when they arrived there.
Fossils explicitly show that the polar regions used to be warm. Also penguins although in the southern hemisphere, do not all live on ice sheets. There are many that live in temperate climates like New Zealand. Seals are in sunny California, and bears are all over the place. It seems perfectly reasonable that they could have simply migrated and adapted traits that make survival easier. You don't know what earth was like after the flood, so don't say it couldn't have happened. What ever it was, it clearly wasn't as it is now.

God Teleported them all over to the Ark and then back again after the water dried up. Of course, the polar bears would have wanted to eat the penguins right off, so they had to be separated until the penguins had time to breed. And they had to breed like crazy 'cause the polar bear mama was pregnant.
The Creation Museum says there were "floating islands" that carried the animals back to their own places. Of course, no animals could survive on the islands whist the flood was going on. They were strictly for transport.
P.S. Actually, I think it's just a made-up story. Two polar bears would wipe out all the other pairs of animals the first month.

God made the world perfect. If you believe Noah's flood, then you believe the world was perfect. the scripture even says there was no rain before the flood the world was atwred by a mist, therefore there was no snow.
You cannot argue about the Flood believing the creation account wasn't true.
This is why liberal christians who pick and choose what's literal and real are being foolish. Its all or nothing.
2Pt:1:16: For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Tricky one. I would say that the Seals, polar bears, walruses etc. Weren't evolved into the species we see today, and didnt have the adaptions they have now for the cold weather.
They would have evolved to be very warm artic/antarctic creatures after moving further north/south, possibly for some reason such food source.
But the 'evolution' story doesnt agree with the bible...so not much help. sorry.

The more I think about that old man's boat building skills, the more amazed I am.----Just imagine how ingenious he was in rigging that ark so that it would lift up and take off like a jet ski; dropping off animals all over the place before the water subsided.
Damn good thing he was able to finish that correspondence course on engineering before his 700th birthday.

I think Noah sort of floated around planet earth on the 29,000 feet of extra miracle water and dropped them off where ever they wanted. I think it was like a modern bus stop the animals pulled a little signal cable at their desired destination.

I can only assume it is due to the fact that God gave them strong instincts. That is why they fly hundreds of miles to mate, etc.
