I find myself perplexed that a biblical creationist, particularly a YEC, would use a lack of transitional forms as an argument FOR their side.
In the Noah and the big boat model of reality, the diversity of non-interbreeding populations we see around us demands a period of hyper speciation some time in the last 4k years. Otherwise Noah couldn't have taken 'kinds' rather than species onto the ark and would have run out of room. This geographic radiation and speciation would have happened during a period when people, writing and carbon dating existed. Strangely, nobody noted the sudden diversification of terrestrial life or that somehow the process stopped.
In fact, we found one of the folks of that approximate age. Otzi the ice man
Transitional examples or evidence of sudden appearance of all the currently existing species should be easy to find.
Revelation777, where are your transitional forms? Any idea why the superfast, spontaneous changes stopped?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
