RE: A reaction to ID

I would imagine that the extinct species were often "choked out" by whatever
did take their place.

How do we know all the niches are filled? If the dramatic slowing and niche
filling idea were true, wouldn't something have evolved to take the place of
each extinct species?

Wouldnt the rapid explosion of speciation have slowed dramatically to its

This is true. It is ironic that the YEC scenario calls for massive
macroevolution on a much faster time line than even biologists do. And if
all this rapid explosion of speciation took place after the flood why did it
all of a sudden stop? But if you want to start reciting YEC inconsistencies
where would we stop?
