Even science agrees that most of todays species were not yet evident in Noahs day. They were still in the master genomes awaiting eventual assembly.

Well, most species are microorganisms and those speciate quite rapidly. So assuming that you mean ~4.5k years ago. Then yes, most species today weren't around. If you exclude microorganisms, then the answer is that almost all of them were present. There might be a r strategists species that have only been around that long. I doubt you'll find any K strategists species though. I mean hell, dogs and wolves are still pretty iffy on whether they count as different species and we've been artificially selecting for non-wolf like characteristics on purpose since dogs were a thing (usually placed at the 27-40k years ago range.)
"They were still in the master genomes awaiting eventual assembly. "
Please explain, what in the blue-eyed hell do you mean by that? Did Noah have a Parts department on board? And when you say "Even science agrees...", does that mean that you found words in a science textbook that you can quote out of context to try to fit them into your jackass theories?
The only things scientist note about "Noahs day" Is that some people claim this occurred 4400 to 10,000 years ago.
There is NO EVIDENCE OF A WORLD WIDE FLOOD EVER.
"master genomes awaiting eventual assembly"
Honestly
Science disagrees with you, however, in that there ever was a time as "Noah's Day". Therefore, your point is invalid.
"Master genomes?"
Now that I think of it, I remember some fundie claiming that Eve carried the alleles for all possible human traits in her genome.
I guess once you reject science it's easy to make up whatever you want.
I’ve read this argument“ before. It’s the creationist way to explain away those pesky mutations and speciation events we have witnessed in the lab and nature.
You see, all those things are just “microevolution”, the changed DNA code of a new species was always there in the DNA of the old species, just lying dormant or something.
Some even try to use it as an explanation that in Noah’s day there were fewer “kinds” of animals, so the story of the Ark becomes more plausible. These kinds had in their genetic code already the DNA for all the species we know today and they developed into these within the few thousand years since the flood.
The irony that this would mean that all the animal species in the world had to go through some kind of hyper-evolution, several orders of magnitude faster than anything any “Darwinist” ever proposed, is entirely lost on them.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
