"Evolutionist would not be concerned with the story of Noah's Ark which still follows the "kinds" of creation" I think you are reading too much into Tench's position here. Evolution, especially classical Darwinian evolution, doesn't say anything useful about the origins of life. It only talks about how animals adapt to various environmental pressures. While some theories have made attempts at the origins, quite frankly we are a long way from having anything that works. It could be some supreme being who 'poofed' the originals into being on the earth. Or it could be some alien explorers were careless with their trash. Or maybe it arrived here on a meteorite from Mars. Evolution works just fine in all of these cases. Now true, the latter two only push the origins back a step. But since they by definition came from outside of the earth, their initial starting conditions were probably different. So trying to figure out how life got started on a primitive earth could be a fruitless endeavour...
