If the donkey, the horse, and the zebra can produce cross-species offspring (although infertile), doesn't that imply that God didn't blink them into existence as separate species?
If he did blink them into existence as separate species in three distinct acts of creation, why would they have any chance at all of producing any sort of cross-species offspring, any more than, say, a flounder and a cottontail rabbit can?
If he didn't blink the donkey, the horse, and the zebra into existence as three separate species in three distinct acts of creation, then you must confess that they were at one time a single species. If so, how did they become three distinct species? By what process? Whatever your answer is, it cannot be that it was an example of micro evolution. It would have to be macro by definition, since they cannot produce fertile offspring cross-species, establishing that they are three different species of equine.
Ten years prior to Darwin's book a creationist wrote about adaptation. Coming off the ark was the horse kind, the deer kind, the elephant kind, cat kind and all the kinds that originated the animals we now see.
And Noah was, what, some 4000 years ago?
And all these separate kinds, got split up into different orders, and those orders into separate families, and those families into separate genera, and those Genera into separate species, and those species divided into subspecies.............all in about 4000 yrs?
Yet some claim that speciation occurs at a rate too slowly to explain the diversity upon the Earth today?
I think the Flood was about 5,000 years ago. And the answer is YES.
