The Flood Bottleneck

The Bible gives us a clear account of the land-dwelling, air-breathing animals’ survival. Clean animals came in sevens, unclean animals in pairs. In the terms of population genetics, this is termed a bottleneck. A bottleneck is any sharp drop in population size, which is often associated with a roughly equivalent loss in genetic diversity. According to the evolutionists, this catastrophic drop in genetic diversity should cause all of life to go extinct, or, at minimum, have basically no genetic diversity. . But does it actually work that way? Turns out, the answer is no.

The Genesis 1-Genesis 2 Contradiction

One of the common allegations thrown against creationists is that Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are contradictory. This claim is popular, repeated ad nauseum by both old earth Christians and the atheist critics of the Bible. However, it is purely bogus. In making claims that Genesis 1 and 2 contradict one another, the scoffers assume facts not in evidence. Let’s have a look at Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 and see if they conflict.

The Fitness Illusion

The problem here is three fold. One, the evolutionists are very inconsistent with their application of this definition. Second, measuring fitness in this way is, in a sense, the ultimate rescuing device. Third, fitness must be measured at the organismal level, not the genetic level, but evolutionists almost always appeal to genetic fitness.
