I know they exist, too. Its just that none from the 19th century when they
flooded the plains by the millions do.

I run into the same problem with evolutionists. They make pronouncements
assuming evolution to be true when it isn't. The people you are quoting
are very intricately detailed in their observations but those are just
that, not experiments that have been scientifically verified and
repeatable. Darwinian evolution is considered by many to be just a fact,
not a philosophy, and that is just not true. The overall picture that is
presented today of lack of fossil 'mising links', is just one example. An
evolutionist will scramble mightly for that one possible exception to the
rule, and those seem to be the people you rely on for information. You, by
the way, as well as I, MUST use the information gleaned from reading.
There is no way possible for anyone to look over all the experiments done
in the world.

Yeh, right. They also could not go climbing the mountains to escape the
flood, either.
