Can you show me the link where you made the experiment of a worldwide flood, so I can see the results which would make you expect these things.
You don't need a worldwide flood to see for yourself that gravel sinks faster than silt. You don't need a worldwide flood to watch how fast coral grows today, and to see that a 1600-foot-tall reef would be tough to grow in a year, or even in a millenium.

And you have heard of winter, have you not, Steppjr? In that time of the year, in many parts of the world, water vapor floating around in random order somehow orders itself into snow crystals, thus reducing entropy!!! We know this is not possible, so Ice Faeries must be causing it by.....

Then, I will go to Russia and beat the crap out of Dostoevsky for writing Demons.
Call me when you're ready to go.

Re: The only answer allowed is
but what if tToE is proved false to everyone by God's appearance.
Or, just as likely, what if the Big Guy shows up and says, "Yeah, I did it all with evolution. Those bronze-age sheepherders made all that 'six days' stuff up on their own."

Re: Trying to catch up on a busy schedule (sorry about the delays)
Well then, why would the scientists' construction of the genetic tree of life fit so perfectly well with the morphological tree of life without any contradiction. By mathematical probability and statistically, there surely should have been some type of contradictions or conflicts between the morphological tree of life and the genetic one.
They don't fit "without any contradiction." There is even a recent case where some nasty-looking little sea creature that was thought to be a mullosc, I think it was, but turns out on the basis of DNA to be more like an acorn worm or suchlike, and possibly a new phylum of its own. Bats have turned out to belong to two seperate Classes instead of one, as morphology once had it figured. So no, the fit isn't perfect. But of course, the surprises are what make news, and the "we already knew that"s don't.
