I thought of an analogy which should pretty well explain why the separation
of the species is impossible in the flood. Take a sifted sand, where all
the grains are about the same size. Separate the sand into different batches
and dye each batch a separate color. After this, put all of them into a big
jar, bucket or tub and stir them up. When the sand settles, the sand will
NOT be sorted into the different colors. But that is what global flood
advocates expect everyone to believe is not only possilbe, but quite likely.
