Cloning a Woolly Mammoth

Weird dreams causing fatigue, work pressure, and other things made me want to just be alone. My reading by lantern light was interrupted by the sound of a buckboard approaching. I inwardly groaned, but was pleasantly surprised to see Stevia Dolce, the baker from the Darwin Ranch.

She brought croissants. Those and her pleasant demeanor put aside my gloom. Stevia heard Dewey Lye and others at the ranch talking about efforts to clone a woolly mammoth and was intensely curious. Yes, there is talk about that among certain scientists.

Using a passel of deep time and evolutionary presuppositions, scientists think that humans killed off the Ice Age animals in Siberia. They brought in several cold-weather critters to deal with the wetland, but it only got worse. Cloning a mammoth (well, a hybrid with an existing elephant's DNA and the mammoth DNA) should solve the problem. Not hardly! Using a biblical creation science Ice Age model would give them a more rational idea of what went on back then, and it wasn't nearly as long ago as they assume.

At least forty species of mammals lived in the non-glaciated Arctic during the Ice Age (table 1). The area is described as having been similar to Africa’s Serengeti. Today, many of the animals are extinct or live much farther south. Many believe man killed off all the animals in the Arctic at the end of the Ice Age, and this produced the wetland. They hope to reclaim the wetland by returning large mammals.
