Maybe a massive great layer of mud?! But there isn't one. Surprise, surprise.
I know you have rewrote the book already on evolutionary biology and paleontology, next stop, paleoclimatology.
Here's the deal, just like climate changes produce rings on trees the same happens with ice.
Throughout each year, layers of snow fall over the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. Each layer of snow is different in chemistry and texture, summer snow differing from winter snow. Summer brings 24 hours of sunlight to the polar regions, and the top layer of the snow changes in texture—not melting exactly, but changing enough to be different from the snow it covers. The season turns cold and dark again, and more snow falls, forming the next layers of snow. Each layer gives scientists a treasure trove of information about the climate each year. Like marine sediment cores, an ice core provides a vertical timeline of past climates stored in ice sheets and mountain glaciers.

Your theory that all the ice caps and glacial sheets formed after the supposed flood is merely theory, some ice cores in Antartica have been dated back 750,000yrs. So that's that one out the window.
So if there was a huge worldwide flood that was powerful enough to create mountain ranges and leave sedimentary layers in the soil as you blelieve. Why isn't there any evidence of this mud in the ice core samples?
Give that some thought before you answer....

no the Bible is not explicit that all animals had to go on the ark, only the ones which were designated by God, had to go on the ark.
You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. Genesis 6 19:20
This is what the Bible says Rob.

That the bible is supported archaeologically? Well duh, part of it is a historical document. No one disputes that.
That biblical prophecies have come true? Yeah, let's really shake that one out a bit and see it hold some water, shall we? To demonstrate that a prophecy has come true you're going to need to demonstrate that a statement ...[text shortened]... ose ones
The historicity of the bible? And the Budhha is not historical? Nor Mohammed?
Isa. 9 speaks of Christ his birth ect. I guess there maybe some counter argument as why this Prophecy is not valid. It's a good one though.

I believe it is based on fact. That EVERY species of bears, lepidopterans, skinks, kraits, and microbes were present on the ark I find unlikely, but that's where evolution comes in. Like I said, Christian evolutions DO exist---I am living proof.

Dinosaur Fossils: Sedimentary Rock
Dinosaur fossils, as with other fossils, are found throughout earth's sedimentary layers. To date, approximately 95.0% of all earth's fossil remains are marine invertebrates, 4.74% are plants, 0.25% are land invertebrates (including insects), and 0.0125% are vertebrates. Of the vertebrates, the majority are fish. Moreover, 95% of all land vertebrates found consist of less than one bone. However, billions of fossils have been found. Up to as many as 1,200 dinosaur skeletons have been discovered thus far. "Sedimentary rock (sandstone, siltstone, shale, limestone, etc) is primarily laid down by moving water, layer upon layer, in a process known as hydrologic sorting. Animals whose fossil remains are found must have been caught in this running water to have been buried and preserved." The remains would be sorted by density just as the rocks were. If not buried, the carcass would rot or be scavenged. Fossil remains of clams (found in the closed position, indicating they were buried alive) have been found atop Mt. Everest. Sedimentary layers and fossil remains seem to be a testimony to a past marine cataclysm. There are nearly 300 surviving Flood Legends passed down by ancient civilizations. Some suggest Noah's Flood.

i notice that you also were unable/unwilling to calculate a simple probability, because it contradicted your stance and evaded it completely,
