Abstract

Biogeographical theories in the past have been based solely on the evolutionary model. One of these evolution theories is discussed (the Theory of Generic Cycles). The data of classification and distribution (as published by Ronald Good) for families, genera, and species of angiosperms are reinterpreted here from the creationist perspective. The average family is judged too large and diverse to represent a created kind. But since the typical angiosperm genus is narrow and coherent, this category may regularly represent the monophyletic product of a created kind. Certain problems of plant disjunction are neatly solved under the assumption that there has been a breakup of one original land mass in conjunction with the Flood.
