How did the kangaroo, the koala bear, and the platypus get from Noah's ark to Australia? How did any animals get to Australia for that matter?I know that this has been considered before but I just love asking JWs this question.

My dad was always so CERTAIN that they were "beamed up", like on Star Trek.

Hello schism,
I think your dad and my dad went to the same school.

Well, of course, there is a simple explanation that we just have to wait on Jehovah to explain after Armageddon in the secret scrolls.

1 And Jehovah did not forget his creations from down under, but built miniature arks for them to float their way back to the land of Australia. 2. And Jehovah spoke to Noah, saying, "I have found favor with the marsupials. Alone of all mammals they have built-in pockets for their young. I think that's kinda cool." 3. And Jehovah promised the marsupials that they were a special mammalian species unto himself, and he promised to send them to a land flowing with milk and honey, where they would multiply and become a mighty nation in his name. 4. And behold! the kangaroos, wallabies, platypuses, koalas, echidnas, wombats, numbats, and bilbies heard the words of their God and consented to float away under divine guidance. 5. After 400 days and 400 nights, the marsupials were guided by the divine wind of God and came at last to the land promised to them. The land was a little bit dryer and a little bit hottter than they expected, but the animals knew if they complained, they'd be back on their smelly arks in a second 6. The marsupials gave great thanks to Jehovah for guiding them safely to their new home. 7. To praise God, the kangaroos, as high priests of the tribe of marsupials, sacrified a wombat to Jehovah, so that a pleasing smell would rise up to heaven. 8. But Jehovah was a little miffed, because he had to create another wombat to replace the sacrified one. But on the whole, he was well pleased.

I would have loved to have seen Noah wrangle together mating pairs of funnel web and redback spiders, taipan and tiger snakes, and death adders. What fun!

I heard somebody argued that the people who went there must have taken animals and plants with them by boat....
Which begs the question: Why did the people bring rattle snakes, deadly spiders, kangaroos, aligators, and other such useless/dangerous beasties?

Any honesthearted person knows that all the animals unique to Australia evidently swam back to their home country. And then they all promptly forgot how to swim once it was over, so that mighty Jah could confound the haughty and intellectual scientists.

As for the ones that bite and are useless (the most useless creature being wasps), Jehovah made them become gentle and sweet, like kittens. But once the flod was over, Noah was biten and sting on the ass and that's actually the truth as to how he died. It was just too shameful of a death to be recorded. He was playing with fire.
I LOVED the Animal Bible, Book of the Flood! I bet Jah loved the smell of the wombat sacrific. Those kangaroos are mightly priestly. Maybe his wombat sacrific was so nice, that this is the reason why kangaroos don't have labor pains. He just let a little slug crawl out of it's uterus and the kangaroo is like, "umm, I think I just had a joey". And sure enough, the little rascal is just like a fetus, except it was born BEFORE his head got so big that it split it's mother's pelves in half on the way out.
Wow, Jah loves marsupials more than he loves me
Either that, or they just got lucky while we were all evolving together from the shrew.
