If you believe/accept the story of Noah's ark, how did Noah get from Mesopotamia(modern Iraq) to the Arctic to get polar bears for example?

Believers will point out that God called the animals to Noah. It only take a slight tweak to fix your question. It is still a valid one. The question is how did the animals get back to where they came from.If you believe/accept the story of Noah's ark, how did Noah get from Mesopotamia(modern Iraq) to the Arctic to get polar bears for example?

In Sunday School we were taught they came to him per the word of God. Same with kangaroos and llamas.If you believe/accept the story of Noah's ark, how did Noah get from Mesopotamia(modern Iraq) to the Arctic to get polar bears for example?
Right, the animals got back to Australia on floating mats of material, according to some claims. No food, no water, no problem.Believers will point out that God called the animals to Noah.

Would you believe that some believers suggested seriously that at one time some argued that maybe God "blew them up" back to Australia etc. Conservipedia has and article on just that for years.
I was serious when I said that some creationists propose volcanic explosions blowing koalas and such back to Australia. The article has been edited since but they did actually propose that. The story appeared in Thunderf00t's "Why do people laugh at creationists" videos. Number 39 to be precise. He at least has screen shots of it in the linked video.

Another claim I heard was that pangea existed before the flood, and then the continents drifted post flood. This is how animals were able to come to Noah, and then go back without oceans being a problem. Brilliant. Someone calculated how fast the continental drift had to be, and it was laughable. And of course the drift abruptly stopped.
Bible tells the animals went to the Ark, Noah didn't have to get them. And, it is probable that in the Ark there was just one kind of bears and all modern bears are offspring of those that were in the ark. Similarly as we now have about 7 billion different looking people, all though in the ark there were only 8 people.If you believe/accept the story of Noah's ark, how did Noah get from Mesopotamia(modern Iraq) to the Arctic to get polar bears for example?
You propose an incredibly rapid evolution that has no precedent, reason or evidence to support it. And I predict that from the typical rejection of evolution by literalists that support the Ark story, this is going to be a difficult hurdle to find acceptance.Bible tells the animals went to the Ark, Noah didn't have to get them.

During Noah's time, that what we call animal family, was probably called species. And there is about 460 families that would have been in the Ark.

"Hydroplate theory" is past being funny.Right, the animals got back to Australia on floating mats of material, according to some claims. No food, no water, no problem.

I used to go to Conservapedia now and then to see if the article was still there. It took years for them to take it down. I was so ad when that happened.

The story of Noah's Aek is a myth. We should not expect it to be literally true. But since similar stories of the great flood exist in the mythologies of many ancient communities (Flood myth - Wikipedia), I would think there some truth to it.If you believe/accept the story of Noah's ark, how did Noah get from Mesopotamia(modern Iraq) to the Arctic to get polar bears for example?

Here is the original myth as told by Plato The Myth of Atlantis and the Universal Flood - New Acropolis LibraryWhat sort of truth are you talking about?
Archtypes, the nature of the human mind,
the reality of bad floods, a megaflood that
originated all flood legends?
