In this thread you can't argue that something is true because the Bible is true. You have to supply corroborating real world evidence.
Archeological and historical evidence has consistently confirmed the Bible is true. That is corroborating real world evidence

Coyote, they will never discuss your research, because they can't find anything about it on some creationist website. So where is it published?

Posted here because it was getting too far off topic in "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution."
Percy: Does this mean that you believe there was one original giraffe kind on the ark, and that the four species we see today are descended from that one original kind? If so, doesn't this mean you're advocating some kind of accelerated evolution? RAZD:In other words, they are members of a clade that descended from a common ancestor population, Yes. If you visit Creation | Creation Ministries International you will find that is what YEC's say. If you are surprised at that then you don't really understand our position. We accept speciation within the kind. That we can get hybrids between species and even between genera supports this view. The initial radiation from the Ark into different environments would have encouraged rapid speciation within the kinds. Each new species would have reduced genetic diversity compared to the original population so speciation would slow down. Also today most ecological niches are filled, reducing opportunity for speciation. However even today speciation can be quite rapid in the right circumstances. "The rapid appearance today, of new varieties of fish, lizards, and more defies evolutionary expectations but fits perfectly with the Bible." Speedy species surprise - creation.com

RAZD asks: Is the Okapi also a member of the Giraffidae clade, and is it descended from the same common ancestor population? What about the Samotherium? Okapi. Yes. However like all scientific questions this may have to be revised if contradictory information comes to light. Samotherium? I don't know. Edited by CRR, : added reply about Samotherium?

The famous petrified forest in Yellowstone Park has up to 27 layers and a total vertical height of ~1000m.
The Mt St Helen's catastrophe gives some insight into how petrified forests could have formed during Noah's Flood. See this article which the following extract is from. The Yellowstone petrified forests - creation.com "An earthquake, Richter magnitude 5.1, caused a landslide that dumped half a cubic kilometer (one-eighth of a cubic mile) of debris into the nearby Spirit Lake. This caused waves up to 260 meters (860 feet) high, which gathered a million logs into the lake, forming a floating log mat (see photo on p. 21 of the magazine). Most of them lacked branches, bark and an extensive root system. Since roots are designed to absorb water, the remains of the roots on the floating logs soaked up water from the lake. This caused the root end to sink, and the log tipped up to float in an upright position (see photo on p. 21 of the magazine). When a log soaked up even more water, it sank and landed on the lake bottom. Debris from the floating log mat and a continuing influx of sediment from the land (in the aftermath of the catastrophe) buried the logs, still in an upright position. Trees that sank later would be buried higher up, that is on a higher level, although they grew at the same time. This was confirmed by sonar and scuba research by a team led by Drs Steve Austin and Harold Coffin.8,9 By 1985, there were about 15,000 upright logs on the bottom."

Edge, Doc,
The linked article discusses whether the petrified forest at Yellowstone was repeatedly buried by volcanic ash. I'll leave it at that. Edited by CRR, : No reason given.

The Samotherium is an extinct short necked giraffe. Honanotherium, Helladotherium, and Sivatherium are extinct long necked giraffes. There's an article here about them.
There could have been up to seven pairs of giraffes on the ark because they are clean animals. However the variation in the giraffe family is no greater than in the cat family which I have previously mentioned. The dogs also have greater variability than the giraffes and they are supposed to have all derived from wolves. It's reasonable to conclude that after the flood there was a period of rapid speciation but that not all of those species have survived to the present day. It's also likely that some kinds have completely perished. Wasteful? No, it's just allowing adaptation to the changing post flood conditions.

And you have to explain why everything that left the ark didn't just die with a couple of weeks. The land was dead having been under water for a year. Noah was on the Ark for a year but that wasn't the time that all the earth was covered. It took 40 days for the water to rise high enough to float the ark and it grounded some time before they exited. Noah sent out a dove which returned with a twig with leaves showing that vegetation was growing.

We will never know the true history of the flood!
As is common with historical sciences the evidence is fragmentary and can be interpreted in different ways leading to different conclusions. This becomes more so as we look at finer details. So two Young Earth Creationists can agree that there was a global flood without agreeing on all the details. This also applies to the period after the flood. How rapidly did the continents separate? What land bridges existed? What was the history of the post flood ice age? How did the animals disperse? Why are there no penguins in the Arctic? The written history in Genesis is only a few chapters and focuses on the people within small geographic areas. Any technical or scientific details are only incidental to the main story.

Six "Flood" Arguments Creationists Can't Answer | NCSE:
quote: = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = The fossil sequence is indeed an interesting question. Have out of sequence fossils ever been found? Or, has evolution made predictions about the fossil record that have been confirmed or otherwise by subsequent discoveries? Fossils have turned up in the wrong place many times and this continues today. This leads to the range of fossils often being extended. Vertebrates have been confirmed in the early Cambrian. Pollen fossils have been found in Precambrian strata although it was claimed that flowering plants don't occur in the fossil record until early in the Cretaceous era. Grass was not supposed to have evolved until millions of years after the end of the dinosaurs but traces of grass have been found in fossilized dinosaur coprolites (dung). Ducks, squirrels, platypus, beaver-like and badger-like creatures have all been found in ‘dinosaur-era’ rock layers along with bees, cockroaches, frogs and pine trees. Picture T. Rex stomping along with a duck flying overhead. Perhaps that Precambrian rabbit will soon appear. Similarly there are many living fossils, animals and plants that were thought to have gone extinct millions of years ago. Coelacanth, Wollemi Pine, a rodent called Laonastes aenigmamus , and a sponge called Nucha vancouverensis are examples. There are several mechanisms that separately and together could provide a Creationist explanation for the sequence in the fossil record.● Ecological zonation ● Differential escape ● Hydrodynamic sorting ● Biogeographic provincialism The Flood was a big event covering different phases and and effecting different habitats and landforms at different times. It is unlikely that one mechanism would explain all the fossilisation that has occurred. Tas Walker has proposed that the flood could be 5 phases. Most fossils would have been produced during the inundatory phases.● Inundatory, Eruptive ● Inundatory, Ascending ● Inundatory,Zenethic ● Recessive, Abative ● Recessive Dispersive Why don't we find mammals underneath Trilobite bearing layers? Because Trilobites lived on the bottom of the ocean and very few mammals lived underneath them. The Trilobites were probably buried early in the flood where they lived so mammal fossils had no opportunity to form underneath them. I saw a show on TV some time ago which said many Trilobite fossils were in contorted positions consistent with being buried alive. We can also ask how well the fossil record supports the [neo-]Darwinian evolutionary model. Darwin said that according to his theory there should be many finely graded intermediate types but admitted that these did not appear in the fossil record. Darwin hoped that future discoveries would fill in the gaps. Over 100 years later Gould admitted the lack of transitional forms was the trade secret of paleontology, and he and Eldridge came up with Punctuated Equilibrium to explain this. This theory has not been a success. Transitional fossils are still missing. Edited by Admin, : Put excerpt from NCSE inside a quote box, make into a link.

Here is a response to Chadwick's PRECAMBRIAN POLLEN IN THE GRAND CANYON A REEXAMINATION. Fossil pollen in Grand Canyon overturns plant evolution - creation.com.
ConclusionThe weight of evidence favours the conclusion that fossil pollen is contained in ‘Precambrian’ shale. This is contrary to expectations based on the accepted geological column. More Precambrian PollenFossils of spores and pollen have been found in the Precambrian Roraima formation, as reported in a 1966 article in the prestigious journal Nature. That means they are at least 1,300 million, or 1.3 billion years ‘out of date’. Pollen paradox - creation.com

The first thing I noticed about this occurrence is that nothing has been published since the 1960's Except for;Bernard, S. et al., Exceptional preservation of fossil plant spores in high-pressure metamorphic rocks, Earth and Planetary Science Letters 262(1—2):257—272, 2007

However, interlayered with these fossil-bearing sedimentary rocks on all continents are layers of evaporite rock salt ...
In "A magmatic model for the origin of large salt formations, 2009, Stef Heerema discusses major problems with the evaporation theory for large salt deposits and suggests that a more feasible model regards salt deposits as the product of igneous halite magma. He concludes
The huge salt deposits found around the globe are not the result of the evaporation of seawater over long periods of time. Rather, the deposits were emplaced as a molten magma at temperatures above 800C. The evaporite model requires much more time than is available for the biblical timescale. However, the idea that the deposits were formed by the evaporation of hundreds of kilometers of depth of seawater is totally inadequate to explain the thickness, volume, structure and purity of salt deposits. On the other hand, the model that has the deposits resulting from the generation of large volumes of molten salt ‘magma’ explains the evidence. Furthermore, with the magmatic model the large salt formations are emplaced rapidly by igneous processes, a mechanism that is consistent with the biblical timescale and a young earth.
