You often mention you're survivability idea with relation to
fossils in the geolgic record.
I have tried on several occasions, and will again, to point out
that individual survivability factors (not species-wide ones)
would tend to randomise the fossil record, not sort it.
Some elephants would die before others, and at the same time
as allosaurs.
Most (if not all) infants would die before adults, and so the
lower levels of the fossil record should be filled with the
weaker, younger, less-able-to swim creatures, rather than
single celled critters that would float, or marine critters
that would be largely unphased by the flood.
Plant life comes up time and time again ... flowering plants are
often killed by waterlogging (ask a gardener) ... and yet they
survived a global flood.
You have also suggested elsewhere that there were 'proto' forms
of animals on the ark, and that speciation ocuured in the next
1000 years or so (lions are mentioned in the bible, and so
must have existed by the time of its writing which is somewhere
in the 3000 year ago range I think).
If there were a global flood wouldn't there be sedimentary
deposits everywhere ? ... maybe there are, just asking really.
