The standard story of the origin of Australia goes something like this: Many millions of years ago, the earth had one continent called Pangaea. Around 120 million years ago, a landmass that included the future Africa and South America inexplicably broke off and began pulling away. Then, 80 million years ago Australia separated from Antarctica—thus Australia became isolated. The creatures trapped on Australia underwent millions of years of evolution separately from the creatures on other continents, since there was no breeding across continents then.

All it takes is one fossil bone to throw a wrench into that tale. The Herald Sun reported on June 12, 2008, that a 19cm forearm bone was found near Cape Otway, Australia. The bone looks just like one from the South American megaraptor! How did a South American land-dwelling dinosaur get to Australia? The Sun reports, “The investigators say the two dinosaurs are so similar that land bridges must have persisted between southern South America and the Western Antarctic Archipelago ‘until at least the Late Eocene,’ a period that began some 40 million years ago.”1

Wait a minute. Was Australia connected to other continents via land bridges 80 million years ago, or 40? Are either of these estimates even in the ballpark?

This fossil discovery fits well with a biblical history, which goes something like this: Around 2348 BC, a worldwide flood crushed and reshaped the earth’s surface, breaking up a single landmass (Pangaea) into continents and fossilizing countless living things. Prior to the Flood megalodons roamed Pangaea, during the Flood they were fossilized, and in the late Flood stages the boundaries of new continents (along with their fossils) were roughly shaped. Unlike the standard story, the outlines of this history have been testified to by reliable eyewitnesses, and this testimony has been faithfully preserved in Genesis.

Amen!!!

The way that evolutionists date their fossils and create their time lines is just laughable!

What amazes me is that people actually fall for this. It's really not rocket science, ya know? It only takes a little research to find out that everything evolution preaches is based on a theory! Yet they teach it as if it were fact! Their teachings are reflected in the following emoticon! LOL!

That's funny!

Although the earth was most likely a large (or huge) land mass, it wasn't Pangea as is defined today. I can't find it at the moment, but the Bible tells us that during the flood, parts of the land sank and other parts rose, causing the water to fall off the high parts and fill in the lower parts (oceans). Pangea is a liberal, evolutionistic word, I believe. Also, there were land bridges in many places until the oceans filled up to the level they were today. It took decades for the water to return to the oceans, causing many land bridges during post-flood years.

When it comes to Australia, I believe that because of the animal's new fear of man and the new food chain, many vulnerable animals, such as kangaroos, spread out farther and farther away from the Noah's Ark landing. Australia was one of those far away lands they could retreat to.
