and that in an extremely short period of time by a process that can't coordinate anything unless it fortuitously falls into its lap. Given even a generous mutation rate, the chances of this explosion resulting from blind evolutionary processes (while natural selection is said to be non-random, mutation - which must come before natural selection - is driven purely by chance) is so highly unlikely that it is implausible
This sounds more or less like an argument from personal incredulity. I mean, even 10 million years is a long time for organisms with a generation time of a few years (or even less). Easily enough time to evolve.
After all, his point isn't that it couldn't happen over time. Simply that there doesn't appear to have been enough time.
Anyway, if we're arguing from incredulity, what's his position? That the Flood really happened, despite the vast evidence against it? That God really exists? What are the odds of God existing, anyway? Not high, in my book.
