Isn't it interesting that all of the animals managed to find their way =
back
to the very places where their fossil ancestors lived before the =
"flood".

There is nothing unusual about that. There have been docummented cases =
of
dogs and cats traveling hundreds of miles to areas they had never been
before to find their owners after the owners had move to a new location.
Birds travel thousands of miles to the same location every year and =
whales
migrate every year without the aid of GPS. =20

These stories of animals 'finding there way to the new home' don't hold =
up to close examination. Some time after a person moves they will see =
an animal that looks exactly like the one they left behind. I had a =
very similer experience with a cat I had owned for 8-9 years at the =
time. I was in a town about 30 miles away, and saw my niece with what I =
thought was my cat. Turns out it was a look a like. If this can happen =
with a tortuous shell (probably the most complex of cat markings) then =
it can happen with other cats and dogs as well.

Also, lets take the marsupials of Australia, we're supposed to believe =
they left the ark, somewhere around mount Arat, crossed continents, and =
oceans, back to where there ancestors fossils were, without leaving any =
trace of themselves in between. Even if we assume seven pairs of each =
let loose on mount Arat, none of them would make their way back. Try it =
if you don't believe me.
