But seriously, there have been multiple extinction events, and most of them probably happened over hundreds of thousands or millions of years (which in geological time is short or even immeasurable, but in human time, it's very long indeed).
How can this all be true if the world is only 6000 years old Mr. Smarty Pants atheist?! hmmmm?

And how does one establish the amount of species to exist when we have only been looking for 80 years? What exactly is 99%? 180 million creatures? 1 billion? or as Sagan might say, a hundred billion million?

QFT
If you were to list ALL species which have existed at some time in history... 99% of them are extinct now.
As for the big 5 extinctions.. those were at most 75% effective. Far from a global flood... not to mention these all happened well beyond 10,000 years ago. _________________ A cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his fleshand drink his blood; while telepathically tell him you accept him as your master so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

Yeah, we can safely say it's MORE than 99%.

Oooh, time for more NOFX. Apologies for having to use someone's shitty, homemade video.
I say don't drink and drive
You might spill your drink
Before you get behind the wheel, just stop and think
You can take your chances
But there's so much to lose
Another bumpy road,
There's so much wasted booze
I'm not so worried
About how many I kill
I'm much more concerned
With how much beer I spill
I say don't drink and drive

35% of accidents
Are caused by pixillated
The other 65% are not
Alcohol related
What does this tell us
About the drunk drivers
They seem to have a
Better record than
the sober team
I'm not so worried

I'm much more concerned

Still, I question how anyone can determine a percentage of an unknown amount. Surely the time it would take to identify and catalog any speices would take at minimum 2 minutes. Times that by 2million creatures, why thats 32 years of constant 40 hour a week work. Seems like them statiticians are at work again. The same ones that count stars in the area of a toilet paper roll pointing to the sky and then extrapulate (sp) a precise number. By the way, I am a skeptic to the point I believe not only is there the possibility that two snowflakes are alike, I think most likely there a dozens alike. _________________ Its not that I question so much whether a god created man, but that he would admit it.- Thomas Brumfield
