It certainly does - but in the YEC world, it gives them data they can
work with to look more like scientists, except they compress the time
scales...

YEC answer - Yep, there was at least one pair on the ark (to them that's all
that's needed). Unfortunately, they couldn't survive the post-flood

YEC answer - It wasn't a mild climate. It was a rapidly cooling climate
with extremely high precip rates in polar regions - and the ice age (ONE)
started right away

YEC's always have answers for any question we can pose and make them
sound scientific, which is why people believe them.
