== The utter inadequacy of the counter arguments ==

I don't know whether this website is open minded enough to allow critism from an evolutionist but here goes:

All of these counter arguments are utterly inadequate and have been refuted many times.
+

The one I found particularly laughable was the one about genetic diversity among humans. First, evolution has a very good explanation for why homo sapiens is less diverse than other species: population bottlenecks, possibly reducing the human population to as little as a few thousand about 70000 years ago.

Secondly, although you are right that human genetic diversity is less than some animals, it is nowhere near as "inbred" as it would have to be if the entire population stems from two people (Noah and wife). There are some species which are actually lower in genetic diversity than humans and suffer from problems caused by inbreeding as a result.

Lastly you destroy your own argument by citing the higher diversity among chimps. If the flood is true, they too should be descended from only two individuals and they too should have low genetic diversity!!!!
