Hi Faith, it's been a while.
As a YEC I assume that even through that drastic bottleneck great genetic potential survived in all living things.
I just wanted to let you know that I started a thread to expand and discuss on this point:
Allelic variants: Simple refutation of "Kinds" (and/or decreasing genetic diversity)
Let me know what you think; I think it might be a good starting point to start a constructive discussion about your ideas regarding kinds, mutation, and genetic diversity.
Thanks.
