But, lets look at the biblical explanation of life on earth. Some 6000 years ago, Adam and Eve had 2 sons by the name of Cain and Abel. So all life on earth came from the genetics of 2 people. Some 7.5 billion people later - is it possible to have that population of people on the planet in that short of timeframe. Now creationists claim that it is - but one needs to take into account the disasters of the bible. The great flood and Noahs ark for example - some claim doing their own math through ages of individuals in the bible that the flood occurred around 2300 BC and wiped out most life on the planet. Now take into account the millions of people that were killed by disease over the centuries. So in the span of 4300 years - through multiple disasters, people wiped out, how did we get to this population?

What about all the animals and birds during the flood? Only those saved on the Ark survived. How many species were saved?
Current estimates are 6.5 million land species. Flooding kills plants. Were plants saved also? How many species?
That was one biggie ship.
Should rename Noah's Ark to Species McSpeciesFace.
