Does Appearance of Age Render God a Deceiver?

Ok, I will rephrase that to “did not travel as proposed by the YECs”.

In Genesis, God seems to have had a role to play in bringing the animals to the ark. It doesn’t mention redistributing them… but it’s not much of a stretch

I didn’t change the subject. If you read what j have been saying all along, you will find mentions of rafts. I wouldn’t call it a miracle in terms of something supernatural. However the idea of an animal swimming across large bodies of water seems “miraculous”… definitely not something organisms normally do.
