Today, simultaneously, we have alpine, desert, tundra, savanna, forest, and other ecosystems - all at the same time, and each with respective fauna (animals) and flora (plants).
It was the same before the Flood. You would have had many different ecosystems thriving ALL AT THE SAME TIME, during the 1600 years. I will use the evolution-believed names, but without their mythical “sequence”. In the pre-Flood era, simultaneously, there were: jurassic, cretaceous, devonian, ordovician, silurian, and cambrian ecosystems - all thriving AT THE SAME TIME. That is what common sense shows, as it fits similar to what we see in the world today. -Creation, once again, consistent with common sense and with known science.

what a crowded little planet it must of been.
Its Jurassic not jurassic, and its the same for all the other epochs, they are nouns. Aprt from overcrowding, the late Proterozoic global Ice Age, this too occured at the same time as the rather warmer Jurassic & Cretaceous epochs ?
Those are names for time periods, not for regions. There was a Jurassic forest, Jurassic tundra, etc. So, uh, yeah, this is a fail with a capital FAIL.
"Creation, once again, inconsistent with common sense and with known science." - Fixed.
Why then did this 'flood' always wash the permian habitat onto the carboniferous, and the carboniferous onto the devonian, and the devonian onto the silurian and the silurian onto the ordovician and the ordovician onto the cambrian? Particularly since these 'simultaneous habitats' were being spread the whole world over at the same time?
Magic intelligent quick sorting water? That's your 'theory'?
jurassic, cretaceous, devonian, ordovician, silurian, and cambrian ecosystems
Impossible. Those aren't specific ecosystems, those were times when the Earth's climate and species were completly different. During the Cambrian we had shallow seas and no vertebrates, during the ordovician we had the first ice age. You se the problem, you can't have one place that requires there are no ice caps along with a place that has glaciers and blizzards.
Oh, man, this is the funniest complete misunderstanding of geology I've seen yet. And this "editor" doesn't even know to capitalize the names of the geologic periods? He fails at editorship as well as science.

Nah, he's probably a lazy sod like me (I did't capitalize them either, and I know better).
Mind you, unlike Kent's Wannabes, I don't think sloth is a sin! ;-)
I can seriously tell you didnt pay attention to Evolution class did you?
I am seriously el-oh-eling at this.
You my friend, are an idiot xD
Its so bad when your definitions get all jumbled up in your head. An Epoch is a unit of geological time that is a subdivision of a period and is itself divided into ages.
An ecosystem is a community of organisms together with their physical environment, viewed as a system of interacting and interdependent relationships and including such processes as the flow of energy through trophic levels and the cycling of chemical elements and compounds through living and nonliving components of the system.
One is a unit of time. The other is a functioning system.
were talking apples and orange traffic cones here.
You have no idea what those names even mean, do you? And you forgot Precambrian, Triassic and Permian.
The Permian era was marked by intense climactic global warming, resulting in the extinction of most of the world's living species. Are you saying that this "ecosystem" was thriving at the same time as an ice age? Antarctica was practically a rainforest at the time! There WAS no ice!
Christ on a cracker.
Riiiiiight, so fundies think the Cambrian explosion was horseshoe crabs being squashed by trillions of tons of rock from the Devonian and subsequent periods?
Cute or scary, not sure which. Utterly ignorant of sedimentary rock formation either way.
Geology period confused with ecosystem. Even if evolution is false, according to this guy, he is unable to find other labels. Worse, he mistakes them. Which known science are you talking about?
Logical fail!
Silurian etc were geological periods, each lasting millions of years. You don't have tundra, desert and alpine ecosystem at the same place at the same time. However, there were Jurassic, Cambrian, Silurian geological periods at the same place at different times in history. And all the geological periods had several different ecosystems, only some ecosystems where more prevalent than others during each geological period.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
