I am honestly a little curious about how this is spun?

My guess is: "if evolution was real then why didn't they evolve to survive like everything else? God drowned them all because they were evil"

No it's stupider and more complicated than that.

There's too much proof evolution exists, so they had to pretend that is part of God's plan too, but it doesn't work like science says it does.

The Bible says Noah got 2 of every "kind" of animal. So they made up a new label for the animal Kingdom. Animals fall into different "kinds."

Instead of getting 2 spider monkeys, 2 capuchin monkeys, two marmosets, etc, Noah got two chimpanzees. God killed every other primate species in the world with a flood. Then all the monkeys and apes we see today evolved in the 10,000 years (6,000? I forget) since they got off the ark.

So all the fossils from the flood are the species whose "kinds" were accounted for elsewhere.

Wow, that is some hot bullshit right there.
