That must be a hell of a lot of animals.

Extinction is an absolute prerequisite for evolution. I don't think the same is true for Creation, which posits that God created and everything was perfect. The creationist who tries to factor extinction into his argument is even more dazzlingly self-deluded than he might otherwise be. But hey, faith bring a people a lot of comfort, so I suppose being ignorant and wrong is a small price to pay.

I'm not sure that the extinctions numbers have surpassed those of the existing but if thewy do it shows a whole in the evolution guess not the creation story.

Theres a difference from the biblical word "kind" and the modern biological term "species" though...but still that is a lot of animals

I'm one of those that believes that God did it, but I don't claim to know how. I don't know how old the earth is, or why God made dinosaurs, nor do I worry much about these things. I never expected my Bible to be a science textbook, anyhow...besides, if God were to answer all of these silly questions, we'd need a fleet of eighteen wheelers (at least) to tote our Bibles to church.
If I had to hazard an opinion on your question, it would be that we live in a fallen universe...thus, we have "entropy".

I don't see the problem. Anything that can be created can also be destroyed. And yes, many animals have existed since Creation.

Because like the human race, God may have created us, but we do a good job of trying to become extinct ourselves...

Your here. Nuff said. Obviously evolution is doing its job well, so creationism can be the only answer.

This also proves that evolution can't be true. No new species. I believe this shows entropy.

It's a miracle. Don't you understand anything.

Everything is possible for God. It is hard for our human mind to comprehend things like this.
