Microbal Disperson and the Genesis Flood
Both creationists and Darwinists study biogeography, which is the dispersal of living things around the globe. Creationists say that critters (more precisely, macroorganisms) dispersed after the Genesis Flood by various means. Some creationary suggestions ( such as rafting ) have been supported by secular scientists. What about on the microorganism level? This is a slide culture of a Streptomyces sp. bacteria, which had been cultivated on tap water agar.

The paper linked below discusses how evolutionists cannot explain the biogeography of microorganisms, but the Genesis Flood is the most plausible model. It is rather technical and lengthy, but people with knowledge of science can still get something out of it as well as those with advanced training. Th
