"Have you herd the one about the four animals?" BTW, at over 35,000 square kilometers or 13,500 square miles, I don't think Hainan Island could be considered "tiny."

[@JungleJargon]

Sooner or later people are going to have to face the fact that the continents broke apart in the days of Peleg, 100 years after the global flood. The asteroid hitting the Yucatán Peninsula could have been a major contributing factor. * It’s the reason for the glacial striations stamped on top of bedrock like a gigantic broken seal in South America, Africa, India and Australia from glaciers that were moving from south to north from the time when they were all still connected to Antarctica at the South Pole. Of course this was after the sediment layers from the global flood were deposited. * It’s the reason fossils and sediment layers line up between South America, Africa, Madagascar, India and Australia. (The fossils and sediment layers were deposited first and then the continents broke apart, 100 years after the global flood.) * It’s also the reason there are many frozen animals and forest ecosystems buried by tsunamis from the rise of sea levels in North America and Siberia as the continents were being shoved into the Arctic from the centrifugal force after the earth broke apart, possibly due to hardening of the sediments and other factors. * It’s the reason animals made it to South America from Africa and humans did not since they were still trying to build the Tower of Babel before the breakup of the continents. Jaguars were separated from leopards, greater grisons were separated from African honey badgers, tapirs were separated from …tapirs, otters were separated from otters and all of the other animals arrived at various places around the world before the breakup of the continents. * It’s the reason why the lifespan of humans was cut in half a second time since the global flood from a less than 500 year lifespan to a less than 250 year lifespan. * It’s the reason why the meaning of the word Peleg in Hebrew that meant “divided” turned into “as (where) the waters flow” in the later Aramaic form of Hebrew. That’s quite an impressive change in meaning. * It’s the reason people isolated into family groups and began speaking their own language. (Everything that happens is of course by the power of God.) *Last but not least, it’s the reason penguins never made it to the Arctic since there was no land there for them to breed in the Arctic. …And now you know the rest of the story, the whole story.

Doing what I can, doing my part for the algorithm Magic

[@MrLoobu]

The vast majority of natural history is long gone, only hinted at in the sediment layers, and our story only goes back 3-4 thousand years. It's likely there aren't any obvious features above ground from before 10 000 years that will add to our history considering the dustruction of the northern hemisphere during the last ice age. Still, its a pretty good story.

People are ignoring actual known human history. The actual historical records and DNA migrations show that everyone spread out from Mesopotamia. Ancient history is essential for everyone to know, especially the sixteen original civilizations… from the sixteen grandsons of Noah. Learn ancient history before trying to learn science. 1. The first inhabitants of Italy (K) Tubal 2. Thracians (L) Tiras 3. Mediterranean Greek sea people (T) Javan 4. Siberians (N) Meshek 5. East Asians (O) Magog 6. Medes (PQ) Madai 7. Western Europeans (R) Gomer 8. Hebrews and Arabic (IJ) Arphaxad 9. Elamites (H) Elam 10. Assyrians (G) Asshur 11. Arameans (F1) Aram 12. Lydians (F2) Lud 13. Cushites (AB, C) Cush 14. Egyptians (E3) Mitzrayim 15. Canaanites (E2, D) Canaan 16. Original North African Phoenicians (E1) Phut The D paternal haplogroup Sino descendants of Canaan migrated from Canaan east to China all the way to Japan and Tibet. The C paternal haplogroup descendants of Nimrod migrated as far as South Asia, the Pacific, Mongolia and all the way to the Americas accounting for the Olmec civilization as well as the Q haplogroup descendants of Madai ancestor of the Medes that crossed the Atlantic to Central America. The A maternal mtDNA haplogroup belonging to the Semitic N lineage accompanied the Eurasian Q paternal haplogroup to Central America. The C&D maternal haplogroups belonging to the Eurasian M lineage also accompanied the Atlantic crossing of the Q paternal haplogroup Medes and probably the C paternal haplogroup to Central America. The Semitic B maternal mtDNA haplogroup seems to have crossed the Pacific Ocean to South America. The Mediterranean paternal R1b and the maternal X2a also found in Galilee represent another Atlantic crossing of the Phoenicians in the days of King Solomon considering also the Mediterranean paternal haplogroups of T, G, I1, I2, J1, J2, E and B in addition to the R1b in Native American Populations. J1 and J2 is Arabs and Jews. (I1 is most likely Dan and I2 resembles the movements of the tribe of Asher) Of course there is also the Cohen modal haplotype of J1 P58 as well which identifies the IJ lineage of Hebrews and Arabs that are descended from Arphaxad. J2 M172 is the largest group of descendants probably of the House of the kings David and Solomon. Now you know a lot more of what is verified human history.

[@robertweldon7909]

I have, for years it seems, had some difficulty with both "Creationists" and "Evolutionists. In that both are always at odds with each other, mostly due to stubbornness in holding their views. In everything presented today there is a common thread. Something exists that is not named in the Bible, that accordingly should not exist, and . In the same light the idea that ALL living creatures simply came from the primordial goo, does not make it ether. OK, what am I saying? If you look at both sides from a third perspective, you will find that both are right. First there was the creation (in what ever fashion you choose), then there was the evolution to what we have today (through adaption caused by environmental and other changes in our planet). Even at this late date species are being discovered, previously not known to exist. (how can that be?) Then there are variations, within a given species, that can't be explained. Like several variations in a type of bird.. Even so, everything had a SINGULAR beginning, some time in the distant past, by whatever means you choose. If everyone were to get off their soap box and look at things in a different light, everyone would most likely learn something "that deserves to be remembered". Now, I, myself need to step down from my soapbox.

[@jamesengland7461]

Just because something is not named in the Bible, that does not mean it shouldn't exist. The Bible never claims to be an exhaustive description. As for finding new species, the world is unimaginably vast and creatures very easily escape our notice, even though they were there all along, whether previously unknown or thought to have gone extinct. We not only constantly discover new species, we're even finding ancient cities in the jungle we never even knew had been there. There are numerous examples of individual animals which have been tracked with tracking devices, normally thought to have ranges of let's say 50 to 100 miles, actually traveling over 2,000 miles away from their groups, mountain lions and sharks in particular. We simply do not know enough about the wild. And yet, with a hundred million fossils in human possession, there's still not one single example of a "missing link."

[@videodistro]

There are no new "species". That is you fundamental flaw. There are many variations within a specieas, of course. When land mamals, fish and birds were created, there was no "list", as you seem to implicate.
