Post-Flood Migrations

Seven years ago, an earthquake, followed by a tsunami, devastated the island of Japan. Much of the debris that was captured by ocean currents has been washing up on the west coast of North America—and bringing some unique voyagers with it! Nearly 300 species not found in North America were discovered living in the debris!

This small-scale event helps us to understand a much larger event of the past.

The Flood of Noah’s day would’ve ripped up forests around the world. All this debris would’ve formed floating mats of vegetation, which would’ve been caught by ocean currents. These mats would’ve helped distribute plants and animals around the world.

Yes, Noah’s Flood was a real event.
