1. The two main questions I always had

1- How did he get to Antartica to get penguins, Australia to get emus and kangaroos, the New World to get buffaloes, etc etc

2- What did the animals eat when they got off the ark. I realize their answer is God had intervened to make all the animals friendly while they were sharing the ark (I've even heard theories all animals were herbivores before the flood) but the only thing the carnivores could have eaten were the other animals getting off the ark.

I do fully realize this is as pointless and frustrating as when I argued with one of my children that the days were not longer in the summer because it was hot (they had just learned in school that heat caused things to expand).
