  You cannot argue with someone that believes in an omnipotent power, because that omnipotent power could always just “do” what needs to be done to make it work

    Then why bother trying to half-ass explain it with “kinds” and the like? Just say a wizard god did it and leave it at that.

      I personally don’t bother trying to half-ass explain it

    Not to mention that they laud those among their ranks that are the best at ignoring facts and details aka those with the most faith. The more info you give them, the better they can feel about denying it in favor of their beliefs.

  If they don’t believe in evolution, what makes you think they believe in physics? God can just magically keep the animals from starving and keep the Earth from boiling

    There are a number of creationists that have and still come up with fallacious psuedo science of many different kinds to explain how it all actually makes sense … if half of known science is wrong for reasons, which they insist they can prove.

    Yes, many of them resort to basically magic, but there are a lot of well funded apologists who attempt to be taken seriously ot present an argument and vocabulary that seems erudite to … well, its funny, most of them will admit that they just say things to help reassure those who already believe that their beliefs are justified… even though they will often get into debates with various science educators, as they seemingly believe their own bs is actually legitimate.

  Not just that. Through radiometric dating, we have evidence of several billion years worth of nuclear decay. Nuclear decay is constantly releasing heat. It’s a completely negligible amount of heat, but if you try cramming all 4.5 billion years worth of it into the single year-long event like creationists want to, it becomes a massive issue. Not to mention the other sources of heat like the water evaporating as you mentioned, the movement of continents, or all of the impact events over the years. We’re talking enough heat here to completely vaporize the oceans several hundred times over.

  You think Noah had AC on the boat?

  Fyi, creationists openly believe in “micro evolution” (i think thats whay they call it). Basically they do belive that species can change and adapt over time through the generations, they just dont believe that evolution can create new species given enough time.

  Basically they have a fundamental misunderstanding of evolution that they have purposely created to fit their own presuppositions.

  If you dropped the entirety of the Ice moon of Europa on Earth, a moon entirely composed of ice as far as we know, still wouldn’t contain enough water to cover the entire Earth, not even close.

  Also if you did somehow come up with all of the water, and somehow also it went away later, all the sea creatures which presumably Noah didn’t bother with, because they never mentioned in the Bible, would die due to the unimaginable increase in pressure that would result from all that water being dropped on Earth.

  And how did kangaroos go back to Australia from Egypt? 🤣

  This is how you make Jehovah’s witnesses go away: ask them.
