More science which destroys Young Earth Creationism and the food. Today: Elephants disprove the Flood myth! [Spirituality & Religion]
The diversity of Proboscideans (the group to which elephants and several extinct species belong) makes the Flood myth utterly impossible.
The first problem is one of diversity. Since creationists must rely on the non-scientific category "kind" as a rescue device for having far fewer animals on the Ark, this means that at most 2 or 3 members of Proboscidea would have been included. Unfortunately that means that all the members of this order must have diversified after the flood AND THE MATH DON'T ADD UP. To achieve the observed diversity then there would have to be one new species of Proboscidean in EVERY generation which has never been observed even in the fasted reproducing animals like fruit flies or bacteria. Strike one.
The second problem is that even if the creationist only includes a couple members of Proboscidea AND assumes they are juvenile animals AND assumes a metabolic rate as if they were sleeping the whole time THEN 60% OF THE AVAILABLE SPACE ON THE ARK would still be required to feed and house them. Doesn't leave much room, yeah? Strike two
The last problem is obvious and simple: If that level of rapid diversification is impossible and then the creationist must have many MORE "kinds" of Proboscidean on the ark which takes that already crippling 60% to something more like 400% Steeeerike three

lol weird dig. The painting looks pretty good to me🤔 But let me ask you a question: Do you have any intention or ability to make an intelligent response to the arguments i presented for how Proboscidean diversity precludes the Ark story?
Lol Child! i know you can read so stop babbling about the picture. I ask you again: Do you have any intention or ability to make an intelligent response to the arguments i presented for how Proboscidean diversity precludes the Ark story?
lol try? Try nothing, sport. I gave three points of argumentation making the case and all you have, child, is a criticism of the painting 😆😂 You Have Nothing
I know the answer to this question is obvious🙄 buuuut i've already started my strikes so:
Do you have any intention or ability to make an intelligent response to the arguments i presented for how Proboscidean diversity precludes the Ark story?
Nope. You're gone. I'm not going to block bud but don't be that guy. You have no intention of debating the arguments so just keep some dignity and see yourself out.

@GodSpeed63 I have no gods, so if you want me to have beliefs around yours, you’ll need to provide a compelling necessity for me to even give the postulation any thought whatsoever.
