And unassailable SCIENCE went into that less than 10,000 year figure I am SURE. Garbage in garbage out and you lap it up and ask for second helpings.

When did the dinosaurs live and die within those last 10,000 years? How fast did the continents move? How fast did life evolve and spread over the face of the earth? Where and when did austrolopithicine live? You live in a very magical and interesting universe, and yet somehow I am the one hooked on smack? Ahhhh laughter really is good for the soul.

You want some more laughter? Here is a good one for you.

Creationist "John Woodmorappe" (John Woodmorappe is the nom de propaganda of Jan Peczkis, a high school teacher) wrote the following:

No overall evolutionary progression is to be found. Adam and Eve, and not the australopiths/habilines, are our actual ancestors. As pointed out by other creationists [e.g., Lubenow], Homo ergaster, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, and Homo neanderthalensis can best be understood as racial variants of modern man--all descended from Adam and Eve, and most likely arising after the separation of people groups after Babel. [Source]

He didn't have a clue. As pointed out by a Darwin Central blog:

The change from modern man, i.e., Adam and Eve, to these four species of fossil man took place since the Babel incident, which is usually placed after the global flood and in the range of 4,000 to 5,300 years ago. The change from modern man to Homo ergaster would require a rate of evolution on the order of several hundred times as rapid as scientists posit for the change from Homo ergaster to modern man! This is in spite of the fact that most creationists deny evolution occurs on this scale at all; now they have not only proposed such a change themselves, but see it several hundreds of times faster and in reverse!
Creationists keep claiming that there is no relationship between Adam and Eve and many of the species of fossil man. In this article, they say the opposite, that at least four species of fossil man are directly related to modern humans. So much for the “no transitionals” argument (if you accept that these species are related and transitional in one direction you can’t deny they are related and transitional in the other).
After their evolution, or devolution, these four species, or racial variants as the article calls them, would have had to become fossilized and deposited into the correct geological strata in Africa, Asia, and Europe so that they would have the correct ages and interrelationships. No other extant individuals, normal descendants of Adam and Eve, could be included, even though they were presumably much more numerous at the time. Neither could modern fauna and flora; instead, the correct species of extinct fauna and flora would have to be around somewhere, waiting to crawl into the same layers and die at the same time!
Some explanation needs to be found for the fact that these four species, or racial variants, were all fossilized, while “normal” individuals were not. It is very easy to find skeletal material dating to within the last 10,000 years, and that material is virtually all bone — not fossil. Why were members of one “racial variant” fossilized while “normal” individuals not fossilized? And this is all after the global flood, so the flood can’t be used as a cause for fossilization, as is usually the case.

Creation "science" -- the gift of laughter!

Keep asking nonsense questions like "How fast did life evolve and spread over the face of the earth?" and we can see your cognitive limitations. Most of the continental movement happened in a 50 year period starting from the flood. The movement is stated in the Bible to have occurred during the life of Peleg.

Austrolopithicine must have become extinct within the last 3000 years. Many of the dynos are still here. Plesiosaurus is still in the Pacific ocean, as is coelacanth. Pterosaurs still fly in New Guinea, and lapidodendron still grows there. Many species of dynos were alive during the period that the Inca dominated South America, as is proven by the engraved images on stones found there.
