Then it should be possible to reproduce them experimentally.

That's consistent with your belief in a "super-genome" that became differentiated only after the Flood.So why didn't the trilobites survive the Flood?

That's pretty much the same thing. Both ideas rely on something changing magically after the flood.But the question remains: Why didn't the trilobites survive the Flood?

Like Trump, everything you do is the best that has ever been done, even when it's an abject failure. Reality be damned. And not only are you an amazing success but you also know who to blame for your failure.

In Message 2623 you said:

quote:

---

I now explain the great genetic diversity before the Flood and therefore in the saved creatures on the ark, as due to the much less junk DNA, probably almost none, and therefore a lot more functioning genes.

---

So less junk DNA then, more junk DNA now. More functioning genes then, less functioning genes now. How is that not a change?And why didn't the trilobites survive the Flood?

Then you have very low standards.

You're up against the evidence. And you're also up against the Bible.

And you're wrong on both counts. Mountains of evidence (literally) disproves your Flood and you can't explain any of it. And the Bible doesn't support your fantasy of repeated waves, volcanoes, etc. It's all in your head.

But you can't. You always run away from discussions of the Bible (as well you should because you wouldn't recognise the Bible if it sat down beside you in church).And you've proven in almost every post that you have no explanation for the evidence.

And yet you don't have the courage to stand up for what you think you know. By all means, let's discuss what the Bible says.

But you don't have near enough generations for a generic "cat kind" to differentiate into so many different species. (And bear in mind that we have descriptions of cats exactly like modern cats going back about as far as the supposed Flood.) There are a lot of species that superficially resemble trilobites but they're not trilobites.

Exactly. If cats couldn't differentiate that much, how could other "kinds" with more variation? Based on what? And yet we know that the Egyptians had cats just like ours 4000 years ago. They also had lions more than 3000 years ago. Lions were also mentioned in the Bible more than 2000 years ago. Your time line is actually much less than 4500 years. Merging races is the opposite of differentiating into races.

So why didn't the trilobites survive the flood? The purpose of the ark was to preserve life. Why didn't it work?ABE: You're stating it backwards: There are certain characteristics that identify a trilobite no matter how superficially it may resemble the others.Edited by ringo, : Responding to Faith's edit.

As I pointed out, they haven't changed at all in 4000 years.

That makes no sense. Why would God have such a stupid plan?It isn't true either. God told Noah to take "every living thing of all flesh", clean and unclean (I'm assuming that trilobites were unclean).
