- If all of the animals of the world exited Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat, why is there no evidence of the migration of the geographically distinct species like penguins, kiwi birds and kangaroos? How did the kangaroo cross the ocean to Australia?

One must appreciate the irony of hearing Eric and his cohort say that we can't expect to find kangaroo fossils all along the way to Australia. When at the same time they expect a perfect fossil record with every single transitional species that ever was. Interesting.
Damn, that's so true
Is there any transitional
@@albusai All fossils are transitional
The mental gymnastics are really almost impossible to watch! Truly, it is amazing they cannot hear how silly they sound!
Holy shit the kangaroo being launched by the volcano made me lose it, how can they seriously suggest this stuff?
300 marsupial species all lined up to be propelled by the same volcano. Maybe it could make sense.
They were either stoned or drunk or both, though who are we talking about? Eric Hovind, Paul Taylor, Kent Hovind,, Ken Ham or, dare I say it, Sye Ten Bruggengate?
How can dick Dawkins suggest nothing created the universe?
The answer to your question is probably money, same reason this channel exists, it never gives any evidence just talk.
@@garyjaensch7143 probably because he is clever
"The bible doesn't mention kangaroos". Maybe it is simply because the human beings who wrote the bible did not know about them? Forget about them being inspired by an omniscient god...
Exactly. The authors of the flood story undoubtedly never knew about a lot of the globe's surface. To them, the flood affected "the known world" (and completely bypassed the unknown world).
And what about those wooly mammoths in North America? Did Noah have any of those on the Ark? (Or did he really just have his own farm animals on his houseboat that he built, when he saw that the spring runoff from the mountains upstream was increasing every year? He had a stick, which he used to measure how deep the water got each year, an early scientist if you ask me.)
Oh, but there's no evidence Noah was crucified, so the story about him and the Ark must be a myth (right?).
(Are we sure Crocodile Dundee didn't bring the hoppers?)
Not to mention that that God wasn't certainly so powerful or omniscient XD
It also doesn't mention an ice age or land bridges after the flood.
If they are not in the bible then Kangaroos dont exist
Saying the earth is 6000 years old is jusr as ridiculus
So the kiwi, a flightless nocturnal bird, followed their Aussie mates, the kangaroo and emu all the way to Australia. Then the kiwi said "blow this place I'm off to those little islands I can't see across that big ocean, see ya mate". And so the little kiwi swam the Tasman sea and settled in New Zealand. Yeah right!
akiwiman2 Along with the moas... I often wonder why NZ, Hawaii and other isolated islands around the world are not used to shut down the -arguments- uh argument. How did the other flightless birds get to NZ? What about the reptiles etc etc etc.
the same can be said about the Tasmanian Devil and Tiger (and all the other unique Tasmanian fauna) how did they cross the Bass Strait? Tasmania wasn't connected to Australia 4400 years ago.........
www.nma.gov.au/online_features/defining_moments/featured/separation_of_tasmania
Then there is the Australian aboriginie, how can these ancient peoples be direct descendants of Noah, they look _nothing_ like a middle eastern person.....plus we have evidence that they have been in Australia for 60,000 years, and they don't record a worldwide flood either.......
@@waveman0 Easy, they all hitch hiked in the pouches of Tasmanian kangaroos!
@@waveman0 idon't know about the others, but there is live footage of Taz spinning across large bodies of water
@@magickgeminid2944 and you know footage can't be docked or faked in any way......
A land bridge from Asia to Papua New Guinea and Australia? Well, there is the slight problem, for creationists, of the Wallace Line, a deep trench located between islands in the Indonesian archipelago. The Wallace Line marks a divide between Asian fauna to the west and Australasian fauna to the east. Big cats, rhinoceros and most other mammals found in Indonesia are not present in Australasia and marsupials and large flightless birds present in in PNG and Australia are not found in Indonesia. This suggests that the trench that the Wallace Line traces was never drained of water during the migration of animals as claimed by creationists.
Didn't you pay attention? The Aussie marsupials can ride logs across the ocean. That is why we are such great innovators.
Fascinating. Thanks!
Explain the lack of kangaroo fossils "in" Mesopotamia then. Before the flood, surely there would have been far more than two, and those "would" have been buried during a catastrophic event.
When i was a christian many years ago, i might have ventured that god removed that fossil record, to test our faith.
Honestly, christians will say this. Many think god himself tampered with, or created wholesale, a fossil record that's totally inconsistent with the bible timeline, just to test the faith of christians, to see if they will continue to believe in the face of hard contrary evidence.
Those of us who have turned our backs on that kind of faith, in favour of real evidence would be seen as having failed that test.
I like how they cite the rarity of the fossilisation process, to explain the lack of Kangaroos in Asia, then in the next breath, go, 'where are all these transitional fossils that support Evolution?' Hypocracy much?
Yes they do. But 14 types in north America, 23 types in South america. Australia has over 240 different types.
My favorite thing to imagine about this fairy tale is about how the tree sloths got to South America. Imagine these incredibly slow, arboreal creatures slowly, oh so slowly, crawling across plains, and deserts, and hills, and mountain ranges, all while ( somehow) evading predators and subsisting on whatever plant matter Noah and his family tied to their backs. I wonder how all the jaguars making the same track resisted snapping up these tasty , slow moving morsels.
Rattlesnakes all slithered directly west while cobras all headed east and south.
+Dave Robson After the Flood, God split Pangea apart, and created plate movement. This further destroyed the ancient technology we had. The ancients weren't primitive cave men. It took us centuries up to modern times to find out that some of the objects in the ancient Egyptian and Babylonian paintings are light bulbs, cell phones, airplanes, and helicopters. ua-cam.com/video/1_tTehE4ILA/v-deo.html Also, the Kangaroos could've been taken to Australia by boats. We do not have the technology to explore the middle of the oceans on the floor of the oceans, but we have however, discovered a lot of ancient pyramids, and cities under the oceans at various depths, and places. Even one in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
That is how sloths got to South America. Continents got split really quickly. The technology we use today isn't new. It is ancient technology that has only recently been re-invented. Including the computer you use, and the car you drive. The bible states that *NOTHING* is "new." Let that sink in.
Valerious Catastros. What a wonderfully delusional world you must live in.
Geez you guys dont know anything. Im an Aussie and I can verify the kangaroos came to Australia on the back of platypus'.Funnily enough the trip wasnt free, the platypus' charged them fir the ride, but the roo's just said "put it on the bill". Another interesting fact is the Australian native name for the platypus is actually the crocaduck.
JMX 666 LOL love it!
I don't believe in Platypi. It's already a ridiculous sounding poisonous duck beaver, but Australia has a policy of not letting them leave the country for foreign zoos. How conveeeeenient.
Oh dear god I hope you're serious about them being called Crocoducks 😂😂😂
Put it on the bill! Ba-dum-a dum-pa!
The other half of the 'Kangaroo problem' is that Noah would have had to go to Australia and North & South America _before_ the flood to fetch them.
I believe according the YEC model there was no Australia before the flood -- it was all one big supercontinent. The flood not only covered the earth but also shook up all the continents to where we find them now (this would have destroyed the earth's crust, let alone Noah's ark, but that's another matter).
Unfortunately, the creatards have an explanation for that one: the animals got themselves to the Middle East. Yep, unbelievable isn't it? I love how the entirety of the events around the flood myth can be disproved dozens of ways, yet they nicely pack all of that away so that they can still believe in iron-age man-made fables - as some sort of guide about how they (and others) should live their lives.
No, if you think about it the animals would all already have been there. According to christian young earth creationists all the animals started in Eden, then somehow were flung out along with Adam, even though they never did anything to deserve it, and therefore they would all have been hanging about in the same locality as Noah until the time of the arc. It's only in post deluvian times that there has to be an explanation of how they all got where they are today.
Personally i like to think god gave all the penguins, and bison, and polar bears, tasmanian tigers and kiwis etc rocket ships and jet packs and stuff, and then collected them all up again once the animals were finished with them*.
* not an official christian theory.**
** that i know of, anyway.
Just around 7:00 the not Eric fellow says; "after the flood there would probably be an ice age, there would have been land bridges, lower ocean levels..."
Well, no. Within a short time after the flood, according to Genesis Noah was able to grow a vineyard to make wine.
There is no mention of any colder weather after the Flood, let alone an ice age.
Yeah I was wondering the same. "There would probably be an ice age" How ? Why ? The bible mentions a global flood, but forget about the following global ice age ?
Robert Payne I am glad I wasn't the only one who caught that. That was a head scratching comment about an ice age.
There is zero proof of an ice age 4000 years ago. Who do they think they are kidding?
@ Robert Payne... all that proves is Noah was a wino
good catch
There is so little actual detail given in the bible all these creationists do is guess. They have 99% assumption. It's absolutely ridiculous.
It worries me that we have these people teaching children this. We are going to have a generation of ill informed kids raised by this belief. Worst case scenario is that true scientific progress will be hampered by this kind of thinking. It's really sad.
That's why videos like these are important, science denial IS dangerous. Creationism isn't such a big deal in my country but I'm really thinking about making vids on evolution and biology in general ... just in case.
Too late. We already have generations of kids that have been taught this at home, at Sunday school and in private and religious schools. It's even worse in the Middle East. Even scarier, it's often taught from apologetic viewpoint, complete with anti-evolution and anti-science rhetoric.
James Dalgetty it's already well advanced. Go to any NASA or science article from RT on Facebook and read the comments. At first I thought people were mass trolling until I realised with horror that the flat earth, science denying, armchair biologists and cosmologists are dead serious.
It's an absolute horror show of a display of how badly education is failing a lot of the young people today.
MaTtRoSiTy Can you please tell me what "RT" is on Facebook, please? Sorry, I can't think of what it is short for.
James Dalgetty Russia Today news
Yes! That volcano theory is one of my favorites of all time. So, so very inane. :)
You left out an s. Covfefe.......
My favourite is still the guy who thinks that stories of fire-breathing dragons prove that dinosaurs lived alongside humans. His theory is that dragons were dinosaurs and some rapid decrease in atmospheric oxygen made it so difficult for them to breathe that they really had to force it through their nostrils, causing enough friction to set the air ablaze.
@@MLennholm I’m pretty sure that guy went to my school to preach his nonsense, I remember hearing about it from some guy, forgot his name though.
The fact that this video is even necessary in today's world is just sad!
7:00 Whoa whoa whoa, so within a year of *impossibly high water levels worldwide that coat the highest of mountains* , magically, ocean levels would plummet to being LOWER than they are today? Why?
Didn't you know that you can cover the entire earth with one drop of water lol.
@@randomname6710 When you do the maths that isn't even remotely true.
@@kurtvillarosa2037 lol i know, i'm sarcastically saying something that Kent Hovind says.
I usually get angry with these creationist arguments but these ones had me laughing out loud. I live in Australia and I got here on a log powered by lava. True my ancestors told me.
That would explain why you guys are constantly on video fighting Wooly Mammoth Spider-Bears all the time.
Then you call everyone a c9nt and say you need a beer.
Which, ya know, fair enough considering you just had to drive off a wild Wooly Mammoth Spider-Bear. I'd want a beer, too.
Creationists really do live in a crazy world of make believe.
so do you evolusionist beleving we come from a rock billions of years ago
no one said we came from rocks but you lot say we came from dust ffs
@@jiu1771 Well I believe anyone stupid enough to believe this BS is mentally incompetent.
@@jiu1771 No, they believe everything came out of nothing. And we were once a soup. Makes much more sense. Oh yes... and let's not forget the moon was once a place on the earth according to it's drift, not to mention a ton of other problems like gravity, earth's spin etc. It takes more faith to belief in evolution/old earth. Especially since theres 0 observable evidence to support their claims. Even Mt St Helens gives us loads of usable data for Noah's flood. A feline has always been a feline, there's 0 evidence of ANY evolution, merely adaptation which is still a loss of genetic information.
Dinosaur soft tissue... proteins, blood cells, the works... impossible for more than a few thousand years.
Polystrate fossils
Salty Seas
DNA in Bacteria
The data for ‘mitochondrial Eve’ are consistent with a common origin of all humans several thousand years ago.
Living fossils.
Radical rock folding
Experiments show that Black Coal, opals, oil can be formed quickly... months, weeks etc
rapid petrifaction of wood
The lack of bioturbation (worm holes, root growth) at paraconformities (flat gaps)
Rock arches of The Arches National Park (USA), should but all be gone according to their timeline.
Observed examples of rapid canyon formation
Rate of erosion of coastlines
Niagra erosion
I can go on and on and on.
Fact is, only a fool would mock creationist data.
@@jiu1771 there is no scientist in the world that believes that only you and people how think like you and people just don't know how to think
I love your videos bro.
Your respect for your opponents, and your wealth of researched content, makes your videos a valuable resource for all viewers, regardless of their beliefs :) .
Keep up the good work.
Also, there is an ocean trench between Australia and Indonesia. It is exactly where a land bridge cannot occur. There is a sharp dividing line known it to scientists distinguishing all fauna from Asian descended varieties.
Love your work - funny AND educational.
I like the term 'Pyroballistic dispersal.'
Vyl Bird ha! Yeah. That made me laugh as well.
I think the idea was they were ice volcanoes rather than lava ones, so they fly on flying icebergs, not that that makes any more sense or accounts for the energy release needed to go that far, and the velocity and trajectory that it would take that would very likely kill anyone riding along it.
Great Balls o' Fire! I do too!
Maybe actual animals carried on magma is a bit far fetched though. (even if they splashed down in the ocean NEAR Oz, not landed on the, er, land) Maybe it was just Kangaroo DNA? (Panspermwhale style.)
Ooh. Ooh. On the backs of whales & dolphins! (and they did it on porpoise) I call dibs on Whale Ferries.
Everyone is forgetting that God was present the whole time, putting His Fingers in the right places so that the kangaroos on their magma icebergs (or whatever) had a nice soft landing.
Couldn't he, the almighty god, just transport them to their locations? It seems kinda crazy to go to all that work when transporting would be faster & easier. Look, they do it all the time on Star Trek?
Then what they are really saying is that kangaroos had a thought "hey, let's move to Australia."
thanks paulogia,. love what ya do.. so keep on doin it..
Great video! You keep improving on all levels. 2 salutes Paul!
Subscribed! Will do so again if given the chance. Excellent channel!
You have to shitin me that anyone could beleave any of this
I agree but it's sadly and frighteningly true!
LOL that opening literally just caused me to laugh whilst taking a drink of water - and you know how well that goes lol, ouch
Great job as always Paul.Thanks man.
their explanation doesn't even work for the marsupials on the American continents. possums would have to travel farther than kangaroos and at a slower speed.
I'm surprised they didn't just say "GOD BITCH, I AIN'T GOTTA EXPLAIN SHIT"
They put themselves in the tricky position that they have to appear scientific since they claim Evolution isn't "good science". They have to make people forget they claim everything was created by magic, that plants didn't die after a year underwater, that somehow inbreeding didn't occur after the flood, that an accelerated radioactive decay would have increase heat and radiations to unbelievable levels, etc... That's why they prefer attacking Evolution than developing their own model.
I fucking love you G.E.! Lol great job in that last vid with ben!
Julien Gravier And hilariously in the process end in a situation where they criticize the theory of Evolution for making a testable prediction of a fossil record and pretend it hasn't been met while not understanding that their own model predicts all sorts of fossils.
It's like they want to do science without making a single testable claim, it's absurd.
It was volcanos, don't you know.
+Godless Engineer The reason why science cannot explain this stuff, is because the spiritual cannot be defined by science. However, the spiritual can and will define and explain science. The scientific method cannot even be used to explain this stuff. It is simply impossible. And this is not because “science” is for the moment insufficiently developed, it is because the scientific method cannot, even in principle, explore such matters, which belong to a qualitatively different category of being than the proper subject matter of the sciences. This is why God, spirits, Hell, Heaven, religion, angels, demons, UFOs, aliens, fairies, Sasquatch, haunted houses, dreams, (both lucid, and non-lucid) astral projection/out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, channeling, the Occult, witchcraft, Ouiji Boards, summoning, spell casting, divination and other paranormal phenomenon such as Cryptids will never be explained by science. You need to learn how to think outside that physical box that science has put you in. Science does not want you to think outside certain limits. "If it cannot be explained by logical scientific means, it is impossible," is usually what is taught by science.
Now I have studied the New Age Movement, and have researched the Occult. These things required spiritual sources, not scientific sources. I am in the process of reading the Bible completely. I research this stuff on a daily basis. I research God, I study UFO sightings, and encounters, I have studied the Bible codes, I have studied the 4th Dimension, and 5th Dimension. I have studied a lot of this stuff including astral projection, which I am currently trying to induce one. Astral projection is basically an induced out-of-body experience. You can even see your body, and know you are outside the body. Now let me tell you about these "aliens." They are pretty much the angels, and demons from the Bible. They've even admitted to it. Witches, Satanists, and Warlocks can summon spirits. The New Age, and Pagans can as well. They can summon all kinds of spirits, including extra terrestrials, and ancient Pagan gods, like the Egyptian gods. Now this is witchcraft. Magic exists, and science cannot explain it. The spirits inhabit the 4th Dimension and higher. I already explained how we are 3D. They are 4D. Extra terrestrial visitations, and abductions can be ended by rebuking them in the name of Jesus Christ, and it ALWAYS works. Aliens are angels, and demons. Some of them aren't even from other planets. Some are, but some aren't. They are NOT your friends. They are evil beyond saving, and the ones that are not evil, and are good and are fiercely loyal to God, and hate the sin in this world, and want to purge it. However, that cannot be done without wiping out the entire population almost entirely. There is life all throughout the universe, even on planets you wouldn't expect life, like Jupiter, Venus, and even stars like the sun. That is because in the higher dimensions, scientific laws as we know them in the physical world, do not work. You can walk through walls, and fly without wings. You do not feel hot or cold, unless you are in Hell. Hell is in the 4th Dimension, but the entire 4th Dimension is not Hell. Hell is in the lower part of the Astral Plane. The Heavenly realms are above the Astral Plane/4th Dimension. They are 5D. The Astral Plane is also where dreams take place. You leave your body every night when you sleep. However, those are not conscious out-of-body experiences. It is your subconscious, so you walk around like a drunk compared to someone conscious. Lucid dreams are conscious astral projections. Dreams are real, they just take place in another dimension.
There is a constant war going on in the 4th Dimension between God's forces, and Satan's forces. The aliens are angels, and demons. MOST of the extra terrestrials visiting Earth are evil, and deceptive, by spreading false gospels, and religions and are BAD NEWS!
So according to Eric's world view the Vancouver Island Marmot where i live came from the middle east? I would just love to see verifiable evidence of this. I call BS on Eric's ridiculous notion. So how did all the animals get to the Arc location in the first place?
The christian argument i would have used, all those years ago, would be that the animals all were resident in the middle east to begin with, therefore they did not need to come very far to get in the arc. After all, for literalists, all the animals were in Eden to begin with. We can see in Genesis 3:24 that god put a guard at the east of Eden to stop Adam from getting back in so presumably Eden was situated in Egypt or elsewhere in north Africa.
And yet weirdly there's no fossil record backing that up, either, and the angel seems to have deserted their post long since, too.
Maybe all of this was totally washed away by the flood as well? Just a conjecture, on behalf of christian literalists everywhere.
Just found your channel. Amazing job keep up the good work! Subscribed!
Love your calm argumentation.
Flat earthers and young earth creationists have an amazing ability to come up with the most ridiculous explanations for their nonsense. Debunking them is like shooting fish in a barrel and it wouldn't matter if it weren't for the fact that so many people are blinded by belief with no evidence and never apply critical thinking.
The stupid thing is that they *could* use a simple explanation that operates within their own ground rules - "God did it". If the universe can be magicked into being in six days, if a man can be magicked up out of mud, etc., why do the creationists not simply invoke "magic" to explain any other inexplicable things? Or even be honest and say "it's a myth - the point is the moral lesson, not literal truth".
But no, they foolishly try to build a scientific-sounding hypothesis to explain the inexplicable, and as soon as they enter that arena they open themselves up to having their cockamamie ideas unpicked through thorough application of the science that they appropriate. They may as well try to come up with a scientific explanation as to why everyone and everything in Sleeping Beauty's castle remains preserved for a hundred years.
Simon Giles
They can't say it's a moral lesson because that would throw the Genesis story of creation into doubt. They have been hoist with their own petard having to go along with it as the literal truth despite it just getting sillier the harder they try to justify it.
A metaphor that springs to mind is, they have a tiger by the tail and simply cannot let go.
I did hear one of them say once that god rounded up the animals.
Cuz reasons.
We already have Game/Film Theory for that.
Now kids, it's fairy tale time with Eric. Lava ride, logs, land bridge? HAHAHA
Dude you referred to Benjamin Burger! Awesome!
It dumbfounds me how Eric and creationists in general go to such lengths to make their narrative fit the flood against the FACTS that we know.
XKCD as a source?? Wow, this is amazing, I’ve never seen that before haha. Also, this is my favourite intro of yours!
Great channel man!
Every time I think about the flood, and the ark, it feels more and more absurd.
For decades, I believed what Ms. McMinn told me...god did it. God took care of it all. Never doubt, if there's a question, God solved it. For me, today, the very best convincer on this topic isn't science per se...it's this: If god could solve ALL the discrepancies between reality & science and the story as told in the bible, WHY THE HELL DIDN'T HE JUST SNAP HIS FINGERS AND SLAY ALL THE NASTY SINNERS DIRECTLY? why fuck around with floods and flying koalas in volcanoes, and whatnot? WHY? WHY? WHY? Because "HE" doesn't exist, never did, that's why. My bible teacher was VERY convincing--and my mother righ along with her. The disjunct was strong in them, the illogic, the absurdity, the smiling love on their faces as I ate up their shit. what a good girl I was! GOD DID IT ALL--except make any kind of sense whatsoever in his own internal processes. And even more--why didn't he just create decent people and animals in the first place? It was HIS choice! He controls everything...and it all goes bad because he's a terrible designer! Wait--he simply isn't there AT ALL. Problem solved. Chains fallen away, demons gone, absurdities of the metaphysical and supernatural--all gone.
Could not of said it better myself. Thanks Jillian :)
Jillian Smith Well said Jillian .
It must have been exceedingly unpleasant growing up in that blinkered environment where questioning the Christian dogma was forbidden
The more I hear about religious oppression in the USA the happier I am to have been born in secular Australia
As an Aussie atheist dad I am very proud of my free thinking children and the rational upbringing I gave them.
It is encouraging to see new polls that show an ever increasing number of American Millennials are turning away from religion. Maybe their grandchildren will live in a healthier, fairer society without religious bigotry and oppression of thought.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts
Jillian Smith, what convinced me that the gods probably doesn't exist is that they are neither *necessary* to explain the world around us, nor *preferable* to believe in the stories people claim about them.
Jillian- the reason God did not just Snap His Fingers and Make Everything Better, as you probably know, is that it doesn't make such a good story. No drama.
Lol, that's for sure, Wallace. The Bible would be something like this:
Genisys: And God snapped His fingers and created *perfection!*
Revelations: And they all *died* and (after)lived forever in happiness. The end!
9:43 ...You just cited "What If?" from XKCD. You are awesome!
What was the music video with the Tesla coils?
Great channel, love the content!
But I wish there were links to the filler content, a lot of it looks very interesting and the stuff I do recognise shows that Paulogia has good taste.
These creationists are reaching further than the kangaroos would have if there was any truth to their fable.
Kangas jumping to Australia, now that is a leap of faith.
well worded!
So, let's say I banged my head and I buy the whole volcano bs, or that they traveled there over time, I'm also supposed to swallow that in these "migration" processes, they would have only gone to Australia and not scattered out in multiple directions? Man, that is some supersized horse pill I'm being asked to swallow.
New subscriber here and your videos are great...keep it up!
welcome Sayris!
Paulogia Cheers
You used Benjamin Burger's lecture on marsupial mammals to explain why there so many of them in Australia. Damn I love that channel, and yours, of course ;)
at around 7:00 he states that after the flood, there would have been lower ocean levels. How does that even begin to make any sense at all?
Green Djinn glad to see I’m not the only one who noticed that and went “wait what?”
Oh cool a new Paulogia vid! I did a binge watch of every vid and was left hanging when I realised I'd seen them all. It really is fascinating how ex creationists can often end up being some of most effective debunkers of creationist nonsense.
Really enjoy these vids, even if Hovind and Ham have me wanting to tear my hair out lol
"...they dont have an answer" rofl that hurt my chest. Another great video. Great work as always paulogia. I very much admire your ability to stay calm in the face of overwhelming ignorance. Not that I dont have my own moments of ignorance lol
The volcano hypothesis seem's the most logical... Lol
Nice of them to say they don't know, but would be nice if they actually were honest for a moment and looked at the evidence that science has presented rather than sticking with "well I have a book."
I think it is a shame these Creationists don't read their holy book more carefully. It doesn't describe our world as we know it. Creation describes a flat earth with a solid dome over the top. In such a world, with the waters under the earth, a flood makes sense with all the animals collected up and saved by 8 people. The snag is this mythical story is about a mythical place and not earth!
It really should be pointed out how silly the discussion is when they don't even follow their own stories but pretend their holy book describes our world - it just plain doesn't!
Sorry if I seem to be a bit nitpicky here, but a correction: Kangaroos are predominately found in Australia but there are several species of tree kangaroo that are also found in New Guinea, just to the north of Australia. Tree kangaroos are found in the tropical parts of Northern Australia as well. As their name implies, they're arboreal and quite a bit chunkier than other species of kangaroo. The cuscus, another marsupial that is related to the Australian possum, is also found in New Guinea and some of the small islands around it. Alfred Russel Wallace's writing on the subject of natural selection and isolation is particularly relevant to our region. Unfortunately, in popular culture, his contributions are largely overlooked but he was a pivotal figure in the development of the theory of evolution.
Great video!
Thanks for the assists.
Paulogia Anytime
Point of order - the Kangaroo is the 'official' mascot of Australia. pretty sure you said unofficial. search for 'australia coat of arms'
Yeah kangaroos floated on logs from the Middle East to Australia and brought some fresh clean drinking water and food with them for the months long trip lol. Of course they took a paddle as well and a little sail so they went the right way lol.
Can someone tell me the song that started to play before the intro music?
Nice 👍🙂👍
But did you take into consideration that the animals were super rested from their time on the arc? ^^
I still want to know where all these people came from. Just 8 survivors on the Ark.
+jmtnvalley
I am more curious about who the fuck built the Pyramids? Theoretically, those eight people could have spawned today's population, but how the hell did they crank out a civilization of millions with a couple hundred years? Worse yet, how did most of those people forget their language, culture, and their GOD when the dude had just wiped out the world just before their great grandfathers were born? You'd think that would be something they passed on, wouldn't you? "BTW, don't piss off this Yahweh guy - he'll really fuck your shit up."
Pat Doyle
Hi, Pat. Your last sentence is great. That's something I have often thought. How dumb were the descendants of Mr and Mrs Noah that they should forget that they shouldn't piss off Yahweh so soon after the whole population had been wiped out.
+Duncan Watt
Apparently, "God's Chosen People" weren't chosen for their brains. Remember Exodus? These goobers watched god rain down plagues on Egypt, part the Red Sea, lead them through the desert with a pillar of fire, and feed them manna from heaven every day, but all Moses had to do was go away for 40 freaking days, and they were already worshiping other gods! Those brainless twits personally witnessed god hammering the shit out of the most powerful empire on Earth for pissing him off, and yet just a few weeks without a "prophet" to keep them in line, and they're already fucking up.

Maybe humans were not fully mammals and still had marsupial features, plus, men's nipples worked, so as a woman had a baby, it could be turned over to the father to breast feed. Also, maybe, even though they lived a long time they had Adam/Eve capabilities of being born as "intelligent" as fully functional teens.
Remember, these were early days still, and the magic still strong
Humans developed long after our line developed a placenta. Long after. Nipples? Men also have a vestigial vagina. Did men give birth? No. The fossil record is too complete to even consider this.
The migration of marsupials from North America to South America to Antarctica to Australia is well documented in the fossil and tectonic record.
As a matter of fact, here in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I noticed two opossum babies eating some cat food on my back porch.
Me, being me, I named them Jesus and Jesús (hay-zues)
On a side note, I have not heard Eric's bullshit when it comes to monotremes.
I wonder how fast a platypus and an echidna can walk/waddle when it comes to that trip from the mid east to Australia?
What was that video with the scientists dancing?
A flood that would cover the whole earth would need to be 25,000 feet to cover Mount Everest. At that altitude the avg. air temperture would -45 deg F or C they cross about there. the whole earth would be a ball of ice the ark would have been crushed. everyone and every thing would have frozen.

Young earth creationists claim the mountains were formed by the Flood.
Of course they carefully ignore such an event would also cause extremely violent sea conditions which would have smashed the Ark to pieces very quickly.
wow rob, i study this topic quite a bit and never thought about or read anyone mention the cold temps that high up! great observation.
+grahvis I'm pretty sure an event that moved all of the continents to their current position and created all recorded mountains within 40 days would cause the earth to turn into a fireball.
Okay, so what if "covered the tallest mountain" was just poetic licence, noetic licence, hyperbole, hyperboletic licence... And the flood was actually only, say, 10,000 feet deep. Above sea level. All over the globe. Now THAT makes it a whole lot more believable. Right? Checkmate, scientists & other smart people!
Okay, a little tiny bit less UNbelievable? (Your bishop is at risk, smart people!)
No? It's alll bullshit? Completely impossible, totally without foundation made up by people who knew SQUAT about just about anything beyond 20 miles from home bullshit? (I concede the match, scientists! But...but...the Grand Canyon! Ha HA! Back to checkmate! A surprising, miraculous snatching of defeat from the jaws of victory! No. ER, I mean....jingly keys.)
Rob- you're "conveniently" forgetting that God breathed on the cooling Earth, making it just the right temperature for Noah and all his cargo. Or don't you believe that God is omnipotent?
I do love how they implicitly agree that natural explanations are more powerful, as they seek to formulate them in lieu of appealing to the power and will of God. I mean, if God exists (and He does to them), then wouldn't that be the obvious explanation? Consider Ken Ham's defenses of the plausibility of the Ark when all he has to say is that "God willed it to be so". I mean, God's actions aren't restricted to natural processes and, thus, wouldn't necessarily leave the evidence we'd expect (if any).
Great video! I'd love to hear what sort of time frames are involved with all of the animals living together in the Middle East. How could the Smilodons of North America peacefully coexist with the Giant flightless birds of South America; or the Koolasuchus not losing the battle for food against the modern day Saltwater crocodile; or Wooly mammoths living in the hot desert not dying of heat exhaustion; not to mention Polar Bears that need ice sheets to hunt on for survival. All of this going on while every single species of dinosaur that ever existed is there too! I am completely baffled by this concept.
Note to creationist using land bridge scenario. The ocean trench between Indonesia and Australia is way to deep to have formed a land bridge. A 120m drop in sea level would have connected Alaska to Russia but it would not close the Timor Sea which typically is over 5000 meters deep. There's a massive subduction zone running in between Australia and Indonesia.
They flew Qantas. Riddle solved.
Rain Man approved theory
Dude..if I had a cartoon replica of me on this show.I wouldn't simple make me sitting there listening to this bullshit with my eyes blinking and arms folding... Their would be a lot of eye rolling and me banging my head against the desk every time those idiots made an asinine statement.bahahaha
I'm with you, Cap. Every time I watch (Paulogia covering) their show, I keep asking myself, _"Are they TRYING to sound like a ridiculous parody?"_
capitalG Nunyabizness that's going to be a lot of eye rolling, head bashing and inevitable face palming animations
Mattrosity - Seriously... can you imagine the amount of editing it would take to keep the animation facepalming _every time_ it is called for by one of AiG's asinine statements? No one should have to put that much time and effort into their UA-cam channel! hehe
capitalG Nunyabizness: it may be Paulogia did a cartoon replica of himself sitting calm and composed because in the background he's banging his head against the desk having to listen to the bullshit of these theist idiots denying everything if it doesn't agree with their giant book of fairy tales and that wouldn't look good in a video.
Robert Richardson ha exactly
Does anyone know where the dance scene comes from around @4:42?
I see you with that CollegeHumour clip :)
Obviously, they got there the same way they get everywhere else, they hopped there. haven't you ever watched video of kangaroos? :)
Quimpledink!
I'll bet some people will take that seriously ..
Sorry but you are wrong, ...Noah Duck Taped them to the back of kookaburras and the birds flew to Australia. Obviously because the Earth is flat, all the birds needed to do was to fly high into the air and they could see Australia in the distance, that is how they new which direction to fly in. :-)
Also: FYI, Noah gave the koala's pack lunches because he knew that they would take a while to get home, he mixed coca leaves in with the eucalyptus so the koalas did not need so much sleep.
+3dham
This is like the creationist version of the old video game "Frogger". Remember how you had to hop onto logs and other things in the water to cross to your destination?
+Bishka100
Since the Earth was flat, they only had to fly higher than the highest obstacle between them and Australia. If they took off from the Middle East, that would only be a few thousand feet, but if those goddamned Himalayas got in the way, they were screwed! :-)
Good point, mind, if the kangaroos stood on tip toes that would give them some extra sight to see over the mountains....see how it all fits? That means it must be true.
Did he just say that after the flood the aboriginals walked to Australia? Where did the aboriginals come from if Noah"s family repopulated the world after god drowned everyone?
Shared on FB.
Are there any animal fossil trails that lead from ararat to anywhere?
Answers in Genesis (different organization) says either people took kangeroos on boats to australia (which would be incredibly difficult) or they floated on logs (also incredibly unlikely for an entire population of Kangaroos to collectively hop onto a patch of floating logs)
Many thanks for this. You've given the explanation for something in Terry Pratchett's _The Last Continent_ that has long puzzled me. Pterry had many animals arriving at XXXX on floating logs. It was a new continent, and it needed animals, but the floating logs reference floated right past me. It's clear now that Pterry was mocking Answers In Genitals.
Yes, me too. That was one of the references in The Lost Continent that went over my head until today. Pratchett was a well researched writer, it seems.
Note to creationist using land bridge scenario. The ocean trench between Indonesia and Australia is way to deep to have formed a land bridge. A 120m drop in sea level would have connected Alaska to Russia but it would not close the Timor Sea which typically is over 5000 meters deep.
Yep i can confirm that the clip of The man hitting The kangeroo never gets old :)
Love the college humor references.
it would have been nice to fully explain the findings of the crossing of antarctica from south america making their way to australia and becoming trapped there as land bridges dissappeared

Hey brother just found your channel and I love it. I'm a former fundamentalist Christian, my skepticism just wouldn't let me believe any more. Ken Ham and the hovind's are the worst of what creationism has to offer. There are intelligent, educated defenders of the faith. I don't agree with what they say but at least there arguments are well thought out and intellectual. Keep up the good work my friend to the north.
This whole discussion shows that science looks for questions that cannot be answered, whereas creationists have answers that cannot be questioned. I know which side I would rather be on.
the volcano Theory is awesome I can't imagine my expression if someone would actually say that to my face
Paulogia wish you had gotten Ausse NonStampCollector onto this one.
I hope to see more collabs too, Logicked, BionicDance, Hiith and also Venomfangx just because I like it when he gets owned.
Is there much precedence of animals migrating by log?
whenever I feel a little bit childish and dumb, I remind myself there are grown up people who came up with the idea that a volcano shot kangaroos and koalas from the Middle East all the way to Australia.
Ok, am I hearing Quantas early flights were powered by volcano?
So, can anyone tell me the name of the song in the intro? Please?

Thank you
Maybe there was a giant trebuchet, used in conjunction with a large wooden badger.
2:20 Now I remember where I heard this before. Thunderfoot made a video about this. Ironic they complain about the big bang and claim explosions don't create anything and Hovind talked about energy transfer in Pear Harbor but suddenly when it suits their needs they like to think explosions aren't destructive.
I am still wondering how polar bears managed to get from the arctic to the Israeli deserts without dying from heat stress
My favorite part of this video is for the first time, seeing how koalas look when they run.
12:00 At CU Boulder’s Museum of Natural History, they have an exhibit on archaeological sites in Colorado where Native Americans hunted bison.
Actually 'floated on a bunch of debris' is a current hypothesis for a variety of species migrations. It is a rather strange explanation to be sure and I would love to find more evidence to find a better explanation but sometimes you just have to put a hold untill we get better evidence.
Funny. I want Pygmies explained!
I come back to this video from time to time just to rewatch the Lava Air Express kangaroo transport system. Still hilarious.
Try searching for mudfossils
I have watched many of your videos and found them enjoyable and definitely informative regarding born again christians. But this is the best ever. Where do you find these people?? They cant be real. Sometimes watching your videos seems like watching a saturday nite live skit. This was the best so far
So what did the 2 Koala's eat on their way to the ark? What did they eat on the ark? What did they eat, going all the way back to Australia? So they just hopped off the boat after waiting for the flood waters to recede, eating the HUGE stash of eucalypt leaves...and said..thx for the lift Noah, can you pack a cut lunch and some water, for the trip over the deserts...we'll send you a postcard when we get there.
When I read the title of the vid, about ChristiansI explaining how kangaroos got to Australia, I thought to myself: “Oh, this oughta be good.” You did not disappoint. Log riding, volcano catapulted kangaroos. Wow. Just, wow.
One question: What did the occupants EAT after they left the ark ?
What's with the speed-up/pitch shift?
