    Don’t ask about the fish, birds, and sea creatures though. They did just fine, but they don’t count for some reason.

      That’s okay, many old languages use their word for “animal” only for terrestrial vertebrates or even only for terrestrial mammals. Fish, birds and sea creatures wouldn’t register as animals in most of them.

          And somehow brought koalas and kangaroos back to Australia and ONLY to Australia… SOMEHOW the biological world looks as if it evolved in place instead of migrating from a single boat.

          But we should steelman religious arguments and then destroy them on the merits, because they have not one argument that holds water even when we steelman them.
