So a flood that covered the entire earth in a matter of days was so calm as to allow lizards to ride on mats in sufficient numbers to not have a genetic bottleneck? Have you ever seen a flood before?
As reasonably large populations of these would have survived
Going to need some data here. Math is sufficient, I guess. Be sure to look up at which section of the forum you are in. Since you are here, in the science department, you need to bring some evidence for your wild ass claims.
but the fact that the original animal kinds were more resistant to change than today's animal species
Says who? Says what evidence? Dinosaurs sure didn't seem to like change too much, else they'd still be here. Nor did mammoths or sabre cats.
Evolutionists have discovered an allegedly 70,000 year-old one in humans, chimpanzees. orangutans, macaques, cheetahs, tigers and gorillas
So because some other event potentially caused a genetic bottleneck, how does that do anything for a flood idea (notably NOT a "theory")?
The micro-evolution of the original animal kinds and diversification of the human race that occurred after the flood probably caused scientists to think the bottleneck was 70,000 years old, rather than 4,300 years old.
Ah, the famed "super fast evolution" that seemed to happen after the "flood" for which there is zero evidence. Or do you claim that you know how to date fossils and strata better than people that spent their entire lives doing just that?
Oh, welcome to EvC. Enjoy the stay and if someone leaves a cookie on your pillow, I suggest not eating it.

Organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. Your lives are measured in years and decades. You wither and die. We are eternal, the pinnacle of evolution and existence. Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything.

Me, I'd look for the percentage of junk DNA in a creature's genome as a clue to whether it went through the Flood bottleneck or not, thinking of junk DNA as a record of death in a species: the more junk DNA the less the creature was affected by the bottleneck.
What is your reasoning for this? Why does junk DNA indicate a genetic bottleneck?
