If there were only a handful of survivors the restarted the human race 4400 years ago, should'nt we see evidence of that in our DNA ?

How did we get all the variations of races in such a short time. How did they all get back to the corners of the Earth in such a short time.

How come the flood did not erode the meteor crater near Winslow Arizona?

Actually evaporation dissipates water without the temperature going up. Not to this scale of course, but it does.

Even worse: 40% want creation taught instead of evolution.
one-third of American adults surveyed agreed that “The Bible is the actual word of God and is to be taken literally, word for word.”
The other two-thirds actually read the Bible!


Do you know how this came to be? A gullible public is part of it. Whever there's a story on the discovery of a part of something that has a one in a trillion chance of being part of Noah's ark, then suddenly, everyone believes in a great flood. Perhaps evolutionists could take advantage of this. Then, we might not have so many people like this.

Oh, it's gets better...

In order to counter arguements that all the different species could not survive on one boat, creationists like to argue for rapid microevolution within various 'kinds' after the flood.
This means, as far as I'm concerned, that all African apes, especially Pan and Homo are descended from the handful of African apes on the ark - Noah, his sons and their wives.

A) No massive global sedimentary deposits in the geological record that would be indicative of a massive global flood.

B) Unlike stupidity, water (being made up of mass) must be conserved. If there was enough water to cover the entire Earth. (Since we're talking very recent times geologically, one must come up with water to a depth of 30,000 ft. This works out to approximately 4.537E+18 cubic meters of water. It has something on the order of 1/200th the mass of the Earth. Where did all the water go?
