Re: [asa] Ruing roos

I repeat the part I will comment on, 2 consecutive paragraphs:

Also according to creation science theories, after the Flood, kangaroos
bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia. There is debate whether
this migration happened over land[2] -- as Australia was still for a time
connected to Europe by a land bridge similar to the one that connected Asia
to America[3] -- or if they rafted on mats of vegetation torn up by the
receding flood waters.[2] Another theory is that God simply generated
kangaroos into existence there.

Other views on kangaroo origins include the belief of some Australian
aborigines that kangaroos were sung into existence by their ancestors during
the "Dreamtime" [4] and the evolutionary view that kangaroos and the other
marsupials evolved from a common marsupial ancestor which lived millions of
years ago.[5]

Ted comments:
Following a typical pattern for encyclopedias, the most widely accepted
understanding is then followed by other possibilities--and it speaks for
itself here that science and singing are on the same level. I'm not quite
at the age when apoplexy is a routine medical concern, but it might be wise
nevertheless for me not to read too much more from this particular website.
