Bugging Creationists

John Hollier wrote this article for the Guardian Science Blog that may bug some Creationists.  The amazing biodiversity of life on Earth seems at odds with a global flood phenomenon roughly 5000 years ago.  Hollier looks at the specifics in diversity of insects throughout the world.  While we know of 1 million insect species, there could be as many as 30 million yet unidentified.  Even with the incredible numbers, there are only about 30 different orders of that class.  While they are all different, they share many more characteristics.

With this diversity we have a few choices:

1. Noah collected two of every insect species to put on the ark from around the world (either traveling himself or they were all in the same place already) and put them back
2. Noah collected two of every insect genus or even order (Bible uses the term kind, but doesn't define it) which diversified very quickly in 5000 years (far faster than the average rate of evolution).
3. All modern insects descended with slight modifications from a common ancestor over millions of years in different environments and niches.

Clearly, number three makes the most sense and more importantly fits the available evidence.  This scenario only focuses on the insect species and ignores the other classes of arthropods, the other phyla of vertebrates, or even the other kingdoms of life with their own unique traits and history.
