Evolution in Your Face
by Patrick Huyghe

Lake Victoria, Africa's largest lake, is home to more than 300 species of cichlids. These fish, which are popular in aquariums, are deep-bodied and have one nostril, rather than the usual two, on each side of the head. Seismic profiles and cores of the lake taken by a team headed by Thomas C. Johnson of the University of Minnesota, reveal that the lake dried up completely about 12,400 years ago. This means that the rate of speciation of cichlid fishes has been extremely rapid: something on average of one new species every 40 years!
12,400 years ago? Hydrologic cycle came to a screeching whoa for some reason, hmm, what could it have been? And might it have been 12, 900 years ago?

Big Rock? Whole lot of stuff happened at the end of the Last Ice Age and no one has a clue. Then there was the Maunder Minimum no one has a clue there either.

Can’t help but add also that burying all of the carbon life forms in a world-wide flood will drastically change the uniform assumptions of carbon dating...See table 212 of creationscience.com for the details.

Also a worldwide tearing of the Earth’s crust combined with a tearing open of the Earth’s atmosphere is simply the best explanation leading to an ice age.

See also Genesis 7:11 “all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.”
