I have.
Here’s the ICR:
Two of every kind of land animal entered the ark, including those animals (e.g., dinosaurs) that have become extinct in the millennia following the Flood. The animals were all young animals, since they would have to spend the year in the ark without reproducing and then emerge to repopulate the earth after the Flood. The animals entering the ark were those individuals possessing genes for the remarkable physiologic abilities of migration and hibernation. These were not needed in the equable climates of the primeval world, but would be vital for survival in the post-Flood world. After being installed in their respective “rooms” in the ark, and after a good meal, most of them probably spent most of the Flood year in a state of hibernation.
Here’s creation.com:
We similarly see creationists claim that God ‘could have used or modified existing hibernation instincts’. But here, too, we cannot escape from the raw fact that to put all those animals to ‘sleep’ for the year of the Flood would have involved a substantial dose of supernaturalism. Many mammals do hibernate each year, often for about six months at a time. (Even hibernating for half the journey would help, of course.) But many animals do not hibernate at all. So why should those on the Ark hibernate, and why at that particular time? Here, too, it is almost redundant to talk of ‘modifying existing instincts’, since it might have been just as much trouble for God to put the animals directly into a torpid state.
Here’s creationwiki:
It is quite possible that God could have induced dormancy during the Flood, if it were needed for the animals to survive, even among non hibernating animals.
And here’s the article you cited from Answers in Genesis:
It is, of course, also possible that God put the animals into a sleep for most of the time that they were on the ark.
So they do suggest the animals might have been placed into some form of suspected animation.
I’m changing “most” back to “all” again, and instead changing “were” to “might have been”:
All the major creationism advocates suggest that the animals might have been placed into some form of suspended animation.
Just glad you admitted you were wrong.
You’re welcome.
Now it’s your turn:
The picture itself makes me wonder about artificial selection in the giraffe - that it’s very likely.
Giraffes aren’t domesticated. The picture shows men roping a young wild animal. Artificial selection is not likely in wild species.
