@farmerman,

500 000 is not too little period of time - where are your DNA evidences for the branches in the taxonomy?

Do you have anything else besides the '30 unique features ...' ?

I am not claiming exactly that, but the taxonomy is designed for the sake of providing 'fake evidences' for the purposes of the evolution theory and the evolution on its part is absolutely orthogonal to any science & theory, actually it is driving in a parallel universe.
- Where will you classify the Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster in your taxonomy ... ah, I forgot also Varan de Comodo with the six delay death bite poisons?
- How can you select a cat by selectively breeding dogs?
- How many DNAs have you changed into new species by your GMO practices, for example?
- New variations of the species are possible, but how many species can you name that have been developed by science, so far?
- Can you produce a left-hand protein as found in human and animals, and why is that so?
- Why don't the Eskimos have fur?
- How many monkeys do you have that can type poetry on a typewriter - if they stay typing stochastics for pretty long time?
- Can you explain how exactly the pretty long time theory not only becomes (somehow) law in biology, but also becomes proven, repeatable law in physics ... and starts making the impossible things possible? Where else have you observed or can you apply that 'proven law'?
- If life can occur everywhere throughout the Universe by evolution from whatever, why don't we have any radio & X-ray signals from the aliens out there ... from the 100 BN galaxies, evolving concurrently with the Earth as a result of the omnipresent operation of the Big Bang 'theory'?
- Can you give an example of some quantum encryption communication in light signals ... from the aliens?
- Why don't you found any traces of life on Mars?
No stochastics - no evolution, it's all about game over.
