you will love this. many yecs believe that there weren't zebras, horses, donkeys, etc, just the general kind "horse like kind". after the flood, each kind diversified into species.
almost like evolution. but there is no such thing as evolution of course.
Zebras look like horses, so some believe that all horse like animals are a variety of the same kind. However, we are not sure that the zebra is the same kind as a horse. But if it is, then that would mean that not every variety of these kind of animals would need to be on the ark, just as not every variety of finches must be on the ark.
We believe that natural selective breeding can take place just like man-made selective breeding. Therefore, there would be no need for all the varieties (species) of every kind of animals that breath air to be placed on the ark. This does not mean we think one kind of animal evolved into another kind. It only means that one kind of animal can reproduce varieties (species) within the same kind.

If the dinosaur bones you are dating as millions of years old were actually
thousands of years old, you'd never know it.

The clincher is how they logically tie together, several deep past techniques converge on a common date so several technologies say the same age which adds real credence to the assessment of age.

Of course we know, they are too old for C14, a thousand times too old.

Since 1947, scientists have reckoned the ages of many old objects by measuring the amounts of radioactive carbon they contain. New research shows, however, that some estimates based on carbon may have erred by thousands of years.

The accuracy of carbon-14 dating relies on faulty assumptions, and is subject to human bias.

Doesn't Carbon 14 Dating Disprove the BIble?
