Philip's 20 mile translation from Gaza to Azotus after his baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch...other translations
1Kings18:12. 11Kings 2:16. 3:14. 8:3. 1Thess 4:16,17.....also, look up how Jesus and his row boat friends " were immediately at the other side of Galilee after they encountered the storm...the Holy Spirit did the translations?
Answers how the kangaroo got from Australia back and forth to and from Noah's Ark
See also at Babel how the people WERE scattered not scattered..." lest we be scattered" in the KJV
If you do a search on "scattered " you'll find more references to " WERE scattered" as opposed to " scattered " in the scriptures..... so the people and animals didn't scatter ( migrate) but " were scattered" just as in these examples on scripture
It's like " beam me up Scotty " from Star Trek..... . and they were translated ( scattered to their destination). They didn't
MIGRATE , BUT WERE SCATTERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT?
What's wrong with this interpretation of how the kangaroo got to and fro the ark?
The Godhead made the entire universe; and left a written record of it. God is infinite. Not constrained to time as we humans are.
Our finite minds are vastly unable to take ourselves off the throne and simply ask God how he did things. Have you read the individual reference notes to backup scriptures on events?
Deep study is tiresome, takes time, involves back and forth reading, spiral notebooks lots of notes: kinda like chicken or the egg...which verse came first. It's worth every hour of effort.
Science has proved that continents moved at one time. Slammed into other continents. There have been islands of land that moved upon the ocean. The info may be on Google?
I find it interesting, worth a look, but I DO NOT allow it to remove God from what the science suggests. God is powerful enough to transport animals to the Ark, all by Himself. The Ark was exactly large enough for them; meat eaters drank milk; grains, greens, eggs were provided for others. Perfect planning.
I find it almost humorous how people try to disprove Gods abilities.
Our futures depend upon Gods abilities and His purpose concerning us humans. He's told us what happens first. Worry is the opposite of faith.
It's likely the animals were inactive, possibly hibernating, for the ark voyage. Also, small bodies were likely, as in young animals. Regardless, there was plenty of room.
I don't disagree with the science best guesses you mentioned as to what happened on the early earth...but they are guesses since they were not present to observe when these events took place...for me, like you , I believe that God could have translated the kangaroo from Australia to and from the ark...a supernatural event....and my references were about other translations that scripture describes supernatural events of people being translated over distances that would be described as impossible to science
I'm just saying, trying to give a natural scientific explanation for a
supernatural event is not possible....and this is where Science can only guess how this happens naturally....I 'm. not saying your descriptions are in error....I'm trying to show that other scriptures describe supernatural translations of people
over great distances demonstrates another way of honouring God 's Word and explaining how the kangaroo and other animals could have been moved over such great distances....God scattered them based on HIS plan.
So searching for migration routes is an attempt to explain a supernatural event using natural means....is impossible
and this honoursHIS WORD and glorifies the GODHEAD.....which both of us intend
Hope this helps show we are on the same page in this God honouring attempt to understandHIM and HIS ways
