Biogeography Still Bothers Evolutionists
In a recent discussion on Folly Road with Sherwood Tellit of the Darwin Ranch, I was informed that the evolutionary story (or "fact," as he called it) explains biogeography quite nicely. It is the study of how plants and animals migrated over the years: "How did that get there?"
Superficially, evolution may seem plausible for the migrations of organisms. When one engages the think bones and actually considers what is observed — and asks questions — then the whole thing starts to unravel.

In March 2010, internationally renowned atheist Richard Dawkins addressed the Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne, Australia. He said, “The pattern of geographical distribution [of plants and animals] is just what you would expect if evolution had happened.”1 He then went on to say that the distribution is “not what you would expect on certain alternative ideas … like if they had all dispersed from Noah’s Ark.”
However, a closer look at the science of biogeography (the study of the distributions of plants and animals) reveals a very different picture to the one Professor Dawkins painted.
