Okay now I'm REALLY questioning the credability of these numbers.
Please give me an authoritative source on this. First you (inclusive of
"the evolutionists in this discussion") say "1.800.000.000 species",
then you correct yourself and say "1.800.000", then you use the figure
"2.200.000" right after you just corrected yourself to say that there
are only 1.800.000 species in total!

I know how much everyone hates this guy but for the purposes of this
particular discussion his "credability" doesn't really matter anyhow ---
not that I think you'll actually take the 3 minutes to listen to this in
the first place but here's my best explanation:
http://www.drdino.com/SeminarVideo/Part7/07pt26NoahsArk.ram (which
quickly explains your specific insect example whether it's 2 or 2*10^99
species)
