A little bird.
You claim there was DNA in the former state????? Strange conjecture. But I am assuming for now that the flood possibly happened somewhere near or at the KT layer. (subject to evidence, should any arise). That means the state change was within a century or so after that. Now....let's see some DNA from below the KT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is you against the little bird. Good luck!
Facts about Halobacterium salinarum - Encyclopedia of Life
"Oldest DNA ever recovered
A sample of a close genetic relative of
H. salinarum encapsulated in salt has allowed for the recovery of DNA fragments
estimated at 121 million years old. Oddly, the material had been also recovered earlier, but it proved to be so similar to the modern descendants that scientists had believed the earlier samples were contaminated.
Scientists have previously recovered similar genetic material from the
Michigan Basin, the same region where the latest discovery was made. But that DNA, discovered in a salt-cured buffalo hide in the 1930s, was so similar to that of modern microbes that many scientists believed the samples had been contaminated.
[20] The curing salt had been derived from a mine in
Saskatchewan, the site of the most recent sample described by Jong Soo Park of
Dalhousie University in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
[21]
Russell Vreeland of Ancient Biomaterials Institute of
West Chester University in
Pennsylvania, USA, performed an analysis of all known halopathic bacteria, which yielded the finding that Park's bacteria contained six segments of
DNA never seen before in the halopaths. Vreeland also tracked down the buffalo skin and determined that the salt came from the same mine as Park's sample. He has also discovered an even older halopath
estimated at 250 million years old in
New Mexico.

Now, like to trot out that slam dunk picture again......?
