If two mutations are too much for 100 million years, how many species would need to be on the Ark if they are to have diverged that much from their common ancestors in less than 6000 years? Heck, even if you aren’t a YEC I think you need to think about how it possible so many species could show common descent with that degree of divergence if a mere two co-dependent mutations should represent a barrier to that. Could you be missing or misunderstanding something? Seriously consider that option.

You’ll not sure whether the Genesis flood was global, though, it might have been local, for example, a strong wind would not help in respiring a global flood.

That entire sentence does not parse meaningfully into english. Try again please.

Something about the flood possibly being local. Okay. What does that have to do with how many species share common descent, and how much they have diverged in the time since the supposed flood? By the way, how many animals were on this ark and when did the flood happen? This is a serious problem you have to deal with. If you think two populations can have diverged by no more than two mutations, how can you think even two individual human beings can be related?

@lee_merrill

But you need to address the problem of two mutations requiring about 100 million years for humans.

I already have, but seriously no that’s you who needs to do that. Handwaving in the direction of wind and local floods (wtf?) does not accomplish that. Dude wat?
