Re: class in 1 minte and here i am writing a question...
quote:
so is it theoretically possible to link every species to every other species through interbreeding?
Sure, if we're allowed to go back into time and link species through common ancestors.
This is the standard (from here) that links all life together.
But if you insist on sticking with present species, then, no, there is no other species that humans can interbreed with, for example.

Well, the logical first place to start would be the closest relative, the chimpanzee. You first, Ned.

Oh, this is interesting.
quote:
Yes the k/t boundary is the flood event.
Ah, so we finally get someone to make identify the flood in the geologic record. So, are you saying that the k/t boundar marks the end of the global flood? If so, why are no modern forms of animals, like humans, found in the flood layers?
And, how thick are the post-flood layers? Could geologic strata of the thickness and types composing the Cenozooic have formed in only 4000 years or so?
Edited to add:
And where does the flood deposits begin? Does your proposed flood layer include strata that were obviously formed in desert conditions? Does it include meandering river deposits that take a long time to develop? Does it include undisturbed animal tracks and burrows in the middle? How do you account for these?
If the flood layer is chosen to avoid these problematic features, how thick are the pre-flood layers that are obviously of sedimentary origin? Could they have been formed in only 2000 years?
