The problem is that here you suggest God selected them for extinction. I thought they were killed by the flood though?
However, even if there was a flood and if you are suggesting that the Bible is the literal word, the flood would have occured sometime within the last 6000-4000 years according to Biblical scholars. What kind of 'mutations' and adaptations are you saying took place within these time lines? Seems like a short period of time for drastic mutations to occur. Im not an Evolutionary Bio. expert but, given that most mutations are neutral you kinda need those millions of years in between there to have it work properly.
If you change the flood date to a further date, to say 100 million years ago, you run into a problem, no genus homo...in fact theres barely any mammals(if any at all). Homo-sapiens like that of Noah don't come into the picture till about 100-200K years ago. If you say the flood took place some time after then you will still run into the problem of, not enough time to evolve, plus now your not really taking the Bible as the literal word anymore and are adjusting it to fit with modern day sciences' discoveries. So either let us know how literal you take it or explain further what you mean. Good theory though, I think we should call it "The Theory of Convenience". LOL, just kiding, had to though ;o)
