Two questions about how central the question of origins is to your core beliefs

A genus is not a population. It is a set of similar or closely related species of a convenient size for communicaticatory purposes.

I have never said that a Genus is a population, I said, “in reality they are merely slight variants within an existing already classified population, of that Genus.”

This is untrue and a slander against taxonomists.

I mean no disrespect to anyone, and I have no issue with any taxonomists, and I probably could have worded my post a tad more clearly, but the thrust of what I am saying remains the same, which to summarise, is that the term ‘kind’ is broader than the term specie and as such there are in many animal groups in the world many ‘species’ within that animals 'kind".

Was the flood water saline? Then virtually all of the freshwater organisms died. If it was fresh, then virtually all of the marine organisms died. There is one endemically freshwater phylum known. Sessile terrestrial organisms and non-salt tolerant plants cannot survive being under a salty ocean.

How would I know, I wasn’t there four and a half thousand years ago with an electrical conductivity meter to measure the salinity, but it is common knowledge that fresh water is less dense than sea water, so it is fairly reasonable to postulate that during the flood a fairly thick layer of fresh water would have been in the area of the surface given the torrential rain that fell on Earth for forty days and nights.
I’m sure that most freshwater organisms did indeed die as would have most marine organisms also, however some survived for whatever reason to repopulate the Earth after their kinds.
The same applies to plants that many of which would have remained alive and floating until the water drained off the land and they could put down roots in soil again. As for seeds, they would have been dispersed according to the currents during the flood and settled down into the fresh sediment to create the forests again, and as new islands such as Surtsey testify, it doesn’t take very long for a barren landscape to become green with plants and biodiversity.

@Burrawang

it is the God inspired Bible that tells us about ‘kinds’.

Yes. And defines them in a way that matches modern species, not made-up hyperevolving proto-kinds that solely exist to be able to fit more animals on the ark.

Absolute hogwash!
Who is trying to fit more animals onto the ark? Where did that come from?
If anything I would have thought that the number of animals on the ark would have been considerably less than the numbers that evolutionists would like to pretend!

I think you are getting your wires a tad crossed here!
Hyperevolving proto-kinds, what unmitigated gibberish, no one that I know has ever made such a claim.

Clearly, this is yet more of the same old slander against anyone, (in this case me) who has the audacity to challenge the sacred cow of evolution, that is clearly a False Teaching.

Invertebrates surviving in bark and hollow logs is one thing but warmblooded birds and humans would have died of exposure and hunger long before the flood year had passed.

Slugs would die faster than birds.

So you are an expert on the chemistry of the water that covered the globe during the catastrophic flood of Noah’s day are you? Might I ask how you know that?
