That kind of suggests that shortly after the flood there were some pretty significant seismic shifts. I've heard Creation scientists who have suggested that most of the mountain ranges we have to day were formed in the year the waters covered the earth and the immediate years after that. They even quote mathematical evidence suggesting that the erosion rates of these ranges demonstrate that.
The whereabouts of the ark is kind of a silly question. You simply don't find wooden structures lasting thousands of years. If it exists intact that in and of itself would be a miracle. I can see portions of it being salvaged as well. The work it would have taken to produce lumber from raw logs in those days would have been immense. I can't see them letting it go to waste unless they had to leave the area quickly.

So if I have this right (which I may not, correct me if I'm wrong), koala bears didn't have to walk and swim 15000 kilometers from Turkey to Australia, because a few thousand years ago Australia wasn't very far away from Turkey.
Is that it?
Regarding my silly question about the boat, is it really that silly? I mean if that boat existed, it was the greatest thing ever built or ever will be built. They wouldn't have just torn it up for firewood.
Why would they have to leave the area quickly? They were the only people left on earth, weren't they? So there couldn't have been a threat from other people. And they were skilled at handling animals, so predators couldn't have forced them out. And they had plenty of experience with natural disasters. What could have forced them to leave the area quickly, leaving that awesome boat behind?
