So many species

[Sexton Blake]

There were two million different types of insects known, then they put glue traps in the Amazon and found another thirty million more species of insects.

 

There are undoubtedly even more.

 

This incredible diversity  can be explained by evolution exploring all avenues but how do creationists explain their god making so many different species when maybe 20 species of insects would have been sufficient?

 

According to the fairy tale, ALL LIFE was on the Ark on a flooded world for a year. That many millions of insects must have been fun in such a small and crowded space, full of smelly animal poop.

 

Even insects need to eat and some creationists have experimented and they just cannot survive living on a leaf for a year, assuming the original downpour of over 30 feet of rain an hour (like being under a waterfall) did not drown them.

And when the waters subsided, the koala bears somehow found their way from the middle east back to Australia.

And the polar-bears made their way from the landing-site of the ark back to the North Pole.

While all the penguins were able to swim all the way back to the South Pole.

And all those 3-toed sloths managed to swim all the way back to South America.

 

The Tasmanian devils managed to find their way back home to... Tasmainia.

 

..miraculous it was.

 

What about the more than 3,000 species of venomous snakes? Where were they kept on board?

Remember, the Earth is only 6 thousand years old. There were only a few dozen species of animals, insects, snakes, etc.  on the ark, All the rest of the animals etc. came from the interbreeding of those on the ark as the continents divided, right?

Wow, does that bear have long nails. Maybe easier to claw out the honey?

This is why some YEC's say that evolution is wrong because while they accept that all the different species now could have evolved from just a few species on the Ark just over 5,000 years ago, they cannot understand why now, species do not evolve before their eyes, or that one species does not give birth to a different species.

 

They want it both ways.
