I'd like to hear some wild theories as to why this occurs.

I mean. It's mostly because of how much water there is, how smooth the surface of the planet generally is (one really big, really deep fissure would make sea water 'bunch up' more), and plate tectonics.

In the Pangaea days, and at some points in the future, there were far fewer dry antipodes. The present day doesn't have the highest possible proportion of them, either.

Just a product of where the land is situated. Nothing really "created" this statistic in the sense that the land ended up in certain spots and this statistic represents the state we are in today.

But, I also think it's a combination of aliens and magnets.

At first, your answer was too sciencey, but then you got it back on track.

But definitely not birds.
