From a few years back. Jaywill asked but no one answered. Let's give it another go, shall we?
A serious question:
Which is occuring at a quicker pace (if either) -
1.) The rate at which new species are evolving into existence.
2.) The rate at which old species are becomming extinct.

But these rates are very recent and are due to mans influence.

Nice, Freaky ...
How does this relate to your "Young Earth " theory?
But otherwise, nice🙂
I find the two-part question intriguing, given its application to the overall theory of evolution.
