Flood myth
Please see WP:YESPOV and WP:FALSEBALANCE which are part of Wikipedia's neutrality policy. Mainstream science is not an opinion but a body of knowledge with scientific theories (the best models to explain the evidence and make predictions). In this context, "understanding" was correct and it's not only a question of evolution, geology does show that no global-flood occurred. Additional recommended reading: scientific method, scientific theory, age of the earth, evolution as fact and theory, evidence of common descent and Talk:Evolution/FAQ. Happy editing, — Paleo Neonate  – 06:52, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Young Earth creationism
Someone else reverted your edit because it was unsourced and appeared to be an opinion lacking attribution. It's simportant to cite a reliable source, with the text summarizing that source. About the magnetic field, I'm not sure if the 20k years claim was about this, but the field did go through fluctuations including reversals: Earth's magnetic field. As for soft tissue, discovery is rare, the specimens are still in bad shape and were under exceptional circumstances allowing better preservation. List of dinosaur specimens with preserved soft tissue is incomplete but shows a few examples. More transitional fossils were found than fossils with preserved flesh. I hope this helps, — Paleo Neonate  – 22:31, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
