for an eagle, a parakeet, a penguin etc. to evolve from this one 'base' bird, which according to the bible must be a dove (since Noah sends it out at the end of the story).
​
Uh uh uh... forgetting the raven, are we? There were at least two "kinds" of bird on the ark.
​
And Leviticus mentions several more "kinds" of birds. If a kind is "carved in stone" like the creationists claim, those "kinds" must have been on the ark too.
​
The ark is getting "kind" of crowded, don't you think?
​
(By the way, if you really are a "boolean", shouldn't you be posting nothing but TRUE or FALSE? )

Re: Floating rafts of vegetation
Of course, you and I know that everything outside the ark perished, so the veggie-mat hypothesis is nonsense.

Are you talking year-long constipation?

the seeds can last for years, even thousands
​
That's not the point. You said, "perhaps the animals contained seeds of plants and/or water vegetation in there faeces." How long would the feces last? - i.e. where would it be during the year-long confinement in the ark?

Dont you think he took soil with him?

That would certainly up the cargo tonnage, wouldn't it? You'd need enough to soak up all the sewage.
​
Noah must have invented pants - you can't wear hip-waders with a robe.
​
More and more complications. No wonder the creationists don't like to concern themselves with the details.
