Post-Flood Migrations

Years ago an earthquake, followed by a tsunami, devastated Japan. Debris was captured by ocean currents and washed up on the west coast of North America for years—bringing some voyagers with it! Nearly three hundred species not found in North America were found living in the debris.

This relatively small-scale event points to a much larger event in 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 after the flood.
