Question for Ray about biospheres

please provide a link. If you haven't, you may answer it here.
As I have stated before, I'm interested in your thoughts about
previous biospheres, even though you apparently aren't. Since you
think that the current biosphere began with the Flood, you must agree
that some organisms (those on the Ark) existed in both this one and
the one right before it, correct? So when did that last one begin?
Were modern humans there at the beginning? In ones before that? Was
there death in any of those previous ones?
Your concept raises many questions - too many to ask here - but
detailed answers would be of tremendous benefit to your book. Even if
your book includes testable statements that are not supported with
evidence, that would still make it light-years better than the trash
we get from most anti-evolution activists lately, which is nothing but
recycled (though sometimes cleverly disguised) long-refuted arguments
of incredulity about "Darwinism."
I know that you don't want to give away all the contents of your book,
but it won't hurt if you give us a general timeline of Earth's history
and all its biospheres before publishing your book. If anything, our
feedback can help it avoid all the pitfalls of all the others.
As usual, I encourage others, including evolution-deniers, to ask
questions of Ray, and of other evolution-deniers. Specifically "what,"
when," "where" and "how" questions about their "theories." They should
be eager to answer them if they have nothing to hide.

I am afraid all Ray has is the fading memory of an Eureka moment. Many years
ago he declared that he'd had an Eureka moment, he probably thought it had
revealed to him what was wrong with evolution. He was afraid someone might
scoop his sensational discovery, so he was hard at work on his paper to
prevent that.
Questioned about when to expect publication he only replied about how many
years it took Darwin before publishing Origins.

Apparently his "Eureka moment" included not only what was "wrong" with
evolution but also what was "right" about a particular old-earth-young
(current) biosphere alternative that lacked both "macroevolution"
*and* "microevolution."
Which must have prompted an even bigger "Eureka moment" in which he
realized that his book (then a mere paper) would be at least as
devastating to all other creationist stories as it was (in his dreams)
to evolution.
What an irony it would be that the only evolution-deniers who would
give him the time of day were the ones he despises at the DI, whose
"theory" accommodates everything from virtual evolution to flat-Earth
last Thursdayism. That's enough to make him want to postpone it
indefinitely.
