I think due to gradual increasing genetic errors and increase rate

survival. This could account for many of 99%+ of of all species that
ever lived that have gone extinct. Of course the dinosaurs became
extinct due to a 6 mile diameter meteor striking the Earth. Also
changing weather the coming and going of ice ages; as well massive
volcano eruptions  accounts for extinction of many species for
example in Siberia.

Are you taking a progressive creationist position, in which your

you claiming that the current 10 million (+/- a lot) species biota is
the remnant of a much richer biota of a billion species?

For your information, the conclusion drawn from the fossil record is
that (for multicellular eukaryotes at least) species diversity has
been generally increasing over time (though with big setbacks at

Ernest had just made an attempt, above, to get the thread going

and it's not good.
 

I'm back. I got some bad news from my 6 months physical examine, and
spent a few days in the hospital. I've had some health issues, but this
latest diagnoses is the same condition that took my father's life. It's
very concerning an depressing.

I'm sorry to hear that and hope things turn out better than you fear.
You must be pretty stressed out about this and, if TO is causing you
additional stress, you might be better to take a longer break from it.
If it's any comfort to you, I will include you in my prayers.
