	Actually, there is even a more significant problem. Australia
is isolated from the Middle East(where the ark is supposed to have
been) by a large expanse of water. How did the kangaroos *cross* this
water? Did they build themselves boats?!:-) or what? And armadillos
being an American group had to cross an even larger water barrier,
the Atlantic Ocean, which doesn't even have many islands to be used
for island hopping! This is why many 19th century creationists(before
Darwin) postulated multiple centers of creation. Of course this
required the elimination of the universal flood, or having most
animals created anew after the flood with only those in the Middle
East being saved by Noah. Come on, if you want to convince anyone
please come up with a believable mechanism for current biogeographical
patterns!
