If you're looking for specific instances of directly observed speciation
events, just ask me.  I would be more than happy to assist you in divesting
yourself of that ugly willful ignorance.
And yet let's not forget that you didn't answer the question.  Perhaps you
could come up with some testable hypothesists regarding the Creationism
occultism.  And let's underscore that word "testable," shall we?  Thanks.
AC> The modern geography isn't what was flooded.
RT> Please provide evidence of this assertion.
ac> Are you not aware that it can be observed that some
ac> mountains are still "pushing up."?
It's called "isostatic rebound," ignorant fool.  It's the result of
glacial ice sheets melting or migrating.  It's also called "vulcanism"
and does _not_ refer to green-blooded aliens from Vulcan.  It's also
called "subduction zones" and that does _not_ refer to Christian priests'
sexual habits.
ac> Ever notice all the sedimentary rock on maintains.
Ever notice continental uplift?  Ever read a _geology_ text book?  Ever
notice how cultists never bother to read _any_ science text book?
ac> Either there was a lot more water, or those mountains were
ac> shorter.  What do you think?
That Creationists will believe anything no matter how silly.  Your
master's dishonesty is known as a "false bifurcation."  Science shows that
subduction-zone-created mountains, among others, were once at the bottom
of ancien sea beds.  It's something that cult masters certainly want
their sheep to remain ignorant of.
AC> Evolutionists don't merely believe that change happens, but that
AC> natural processes can lead to an indefinite increase in complexity
AC> -- a
In fact all scientists adhearing to scientific method apeaking within
their field accept the fact of evolution.  It's only the ignorant lay man
who would like to pretend it doesn't happen some how.
