That suggests that new species are being created, otherwise there would have been unknown trillions of species at the beginning of the world, "4004" years ago.

New species have come into existence during humanity's existence, by our own doing. And it happens naturally as well. Artificial selection is real, and natural has been observed.

Viruses and bacteria mutate and become different strains. Mutations in genes occur. Biological links between species have been found. There is a logical progression of life from the simple to the complex, in our geological history.

The evidence is overwhelming. Creationism has no evidence, and if all the evidence was poofed into existence by a magic genie in a bottle, then science has no meaning.

I tend to disbelieve that science has no meaning, because progress has always been achieved by the rational mind using logical methods, and standing in the way of that progress has always been the superstitious, the phobic, the mystical, supernatural, religious, who disbelieve the rational and favor what cannot ever be proven.

Science has led to dead ends, but those dead ends proved that other avenues were possible. Even the dead ends helped us understand. Religion has never brought about one one-thousandth the amount of progress that reason has.
Phew. And I was beginning to think that you were one of the guys who thought Dinossaurs were placed beneath the Earth by "god" to "test our faith". Such people irritate me beyond imagination (Mainly because I have excavated things from beneath the Earth myself, as an archaeologist)
