Made you look! 
I’m not attacking the Creationist Viewpoint, and I certainly don’t want to start another CvsE Debate. But, here’s the thing:
Assuming God did create the world 6000 years ago (+/-), how did the kangaroos get to Australia?
I realize I should be clearer…
Assuming God created the world, then destroyed it via flood, and caused the Ark to land on Mt Arrarat (in Asia or Europe), how did the kangaroos get to Australia?
That’s better.
God did it.
Prove that He didn’t.
Yer pal,
Satan

I’ve actually got a nice explanation of exactly how he did it squirled away in a locker down at Penn Station.
But I’ll wait to see if anyone else bites first.
This actually goes back to 1765. There were only two kangeroos, then (cf. Noah’s Flood), and they couldn’t stand life in England any longer on account of the food and climate. They didn’t care where they went, as long as it was away from England. So, when they went to buy their tickets, the travel agent asked them where they wanted to go, and the male kangeroo said, “I don’t know.” Now it happens that “I don’t know” in kangeroo sounds very much like “Melbourne”
in English, so the travel agent thought they wanted to go to Australia and booked them on HMS Unpronouncable, which was carrying a few hundred prisoners to the penal colony there.
Angry at being viewed as prisoners when they arrived, they headed off west from Melbourne. The climate there was very favorable, and they multiplied like rabbits (Is it true that the expression in Australia is related to snakes, that the multiplied like adders?)
And that’s how kangeroos got to Australia.
Brian’s catching on. 
Heh, funny, CDex!
BTW, notice… No Pashley? Must be getting tired.
They hopped a flight.

“Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be
the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it that the merely improbable lacks.”

There are numerous problems with a global flood hypothesis or young-earth creationism. The kangaroo question is but one of many.
Clearly we must check a higher authority. I read today from Monty Python and the Holy Grail - © 1974 - Python (Monty) Pictures,Ltd.
Act 1, Scene 1:
Soldier #1
Where’d you get the coconuts?
Arthur
We found them.
Soldier #1
Found them? In Mercia? The coconut’s tropical!
Arthur
What do you mean?
Soldier #1
Well, this is a temperate zone.
Arthur
The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
Soldier #1
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Arthur
Not at all. They could be carried.
Soldier #1
What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
Arthur
It could grip it by the husk!
Thus saith the Python. Clearly African swallows deposited baby kangaroos on the continent of Australia, along with dingoes, platypuses, and Paul Hogan. Any questions?
mrblue92:
Not meaning to sound like I can’t play along with a good joke, but if I recall correctly, dingoes at least were introduced to Australia by humans.

Careful, sir, you almost sound like that you believe this stuff!

Well it figures that Satan would be a Christian…
Shh… If African swallows are willing to take the blame, I say let them.
So you finally decided to change the wallpaper?
For once you must try to face the facts: Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.
Not to take this thread to seriously, but this is a HUGE problem for creationists. The reason Austrailia is full of marsupials is that it was isolated before more advanced mammals developed. Everywhere else the advanced mammals (placentals IIRC) outcompeted the marsupials. Marsupial fossils can be found throughout South America. Today, as man has introduced rabbits and cats into Austrailia, its marsupial spiecies are threatened.
Now according to the flood theory, The marsupials must have been involved in some sort of mad dash to Austrailia, relentlessly pursued by Tigers, Bears, etc. Somehow God Transported them there and then barred the way for more advanced creatures. I suppose “all things are possible with God,” but come on, isn’t this a little absurd.
Also, dont you just love the word “marsupial”

Kangaroos, eh?
Now we know where Jesus was during the “missing” years.
Random Punchline: I haven’t, but if it’s anything like doing it with a kangaroo, we’re gonna need a lot more room than this.
Only a small number of people are truly awake. These people go through life in a state of constant amazement.
Let’s move past Noah’s Ark.
Genesis 11 (post-Noah’s Ark) says something like: Now the earth was of one people and one language
(sorry, don’t have a Bible in front of me, can’t remember the exact words. Excuse me, I digress, back to the topic)
So where did all of these other ancient cultures with a proven long-term historical track record come from(both pre-and post Noah’s years)? How did their societies continue to flourish while they were under water? Why did they continue to speak and write different languages after the flood?
Creation supporters: Please don’t tell me Genesis is a parable, it has been taken literally for millenia - as it’s authors intended.
I think the answer is tucked away in a locker at Heathrow. Where is a Norse God when you need one?
