The Fossils of DeEvolution Question...

Hello,

In my Fossils evidence for YEC thread Lady suggested that we send this question to creationist groups. And although i’m not sure how much of an answer I really expect, it would still be interesting. The ideas go like this:

----
Although its hard to define Kind, we need to define it here. It has been suggested that a kind is similar to a species, but slightly different. That all those that can mate together (whether they produce effective offspring or not) are of like kind. We shall assume that a Horse, a Donkey and a Zebra are all types of the “horse like kind.”

Noah is said to have only taken one type of each “kind” onto the ark, and from this kind all the other variations of like kinds came from it. Since its another YEC belief that no new information can be gained from evolution, only changes within a kind, then that means that Noah needed to take the highest chromosome count with him, the most information rich of each kind. A Horse has 32 pairs of chromosomes, a donkey has 31 and a Zebra has 22. So Noah took a Pair of horses on board the ark and no donkeys or Zebra. Donkeys and zebra “evolved” from the horse after the ark sat down.

The flood is also characterized as distorting all radio carbon dating for pre flood animals.

If any of this is true, we should be able to predict a set of findings.

-The post flood fossil record should show horse fossils older than donkey or zebra fossils.

-We should see a rate of evolution, as in:
4400 years ago, horses walked off the ark.
4200 years ago horses evolved and formed Donkeys.
2000 years ago horses or donkeys evolved and formed zebra.

-The fossil record should support and show some sort of evolution change over the years, since the ark landed with only the Horse of the “horse like kind”

-If we expect this rate to continue, we should also be seeing the horse like kind change more, we should be seeing a possible transitional species of the horse kind into lesser horse kind.

-If the flood distorted all radiometric data of pre flood animals, we should find a large gap in zebras and donkeys. They should have existed in preflood times, then been killed by the flood, which would distort their readings by thousands or possibly millions of years, then they should reappear as they then reevolved from the ark animals.

If the above hypothesis is true, then we should find evidence to support most of the points above. Do we find this evidence?

----


How does that sounds?

-Ari
