Yes. In fact, the small populations of "kinds" present after the Noah event are a better explanation for the rapid speciation within kind that Is observed in the fossil records. Small populations interbreeding after being separated from each other geographically (so no intercourse between two populations) leads to greatly accelerated differentiation between populations, especially in species with short lifespans and/or frequent mating periods.

Imagine. All those meteorologists with their preconcieved bias towards the water cycle. All those biologists with their preconceived notions about what happens to fish when you pollute all the worlds fresh water with salt. All those geologists with their preconceived notions on what it took to create the Grand Canyon. All living a lie.

Nope, indeed, at every point in history except for the one-year period posited for the Flood, the water cycle has functioned exactly as we see it function now - something that the Bible alludes to itself in a number of places. Again, the existence of a water cycle does not preclude a solitary PAST event from having happened.

All those biologists with their preconceived notions about what happens to fish when you pollute all the worlds fresh water with salt.

Except that in the flood event, the waters being added by the rains and the opening up of the fountains of the deep would have themselves been fresh water, and this fresh water would have remained near the top in a deluged world due to the density differences between fresh and salt water and the relative difficult of obtaining verticle miscibility, thus maintaining a decent segregation between the fresh and salt waters.

All those geologists with their preconceived notions on what it took to create the Grand Canyon. All living a lie.

Preconceived notions which actually are spectacularly anti-uniformitarian in their assumptions. If the Colorado River really cut the Grand Canyon over millions of years, why hasn't ever other major river done the same in the same amount of time? And why so cleanly, with not nearly so much erosion as would be expected for millions of years of exposure to the elements?
