Another nail in the coffin of Young Earth Creationism: Limestone formation. The rate of formation demolishes Noah's flood. [Spirituality & Religion]
Lime stone forms and deposits at a few different rates depending on temperature, water depth and conditions. I.E. it forms fastest in warm, calm, shallow seas. Young earthers are already in trouble because the Great Flood was anything but calm, shallow or warm.
Unfortunately for young earthers, this utterly precludes the Noachian flood. The rate of precipitation is just too slow. Young earthers hold that the earth is 6000 years old and Noah's flood happened just 2400 years ago. That's just not enough time, to account for the amount of limestone we see.
To put it in perspective, if we assume the FASTEST POSSIBLE formation rate for limestone, multiply that by TEN and then say the flood actually lasted five THOUSAND years and you [i]still [/i]end up with .02% of the limestone we see today.
lol yes, i have experienced this phenomenon in speaking to some of them. When confronted with something they simply cannot argue they just declare that they know it's wrong.

Ah, young earth creationism. The ultimate conclusion in search of evidence. Pre-Enlightenment thinking at its best.
I've been watching horrible religious people lately actually. Really enjoying it. Found a new guy Andrew Womack that claims Christians can't get covid and that he prayed the mildew in his house away. Wow.
I do admit to being a little smug about the Christians who have flouted COVID directives and claim prayer will protect them who then get COVID.
Yes i do find it interesting that god answers your prayers to find your keys but lets a child continue to be sex trafficked....he works in mysterious (but totally justifiable) ways.

You’re always destroying people on here with facts. It’s very entertaining. Stay vigilant.
What you stated here is all true of course. But I don't understand why everyone is so driven to prove a religion is right or wrong. It's faith. Its something you believe in because it works for you. It's personal. If a person chooses to believe the Creation version of the Bible I don't want him in my face trying to prove to me it's real. But I also don't want to get in his face telling him it's not real. It's a bit mean spirited.
I've never understood people that take the Bible totally literally. Christ even said he wrote in parables a parable is nothing more than a story to get across a point. Just as in Matthew Mark Luke and John they all tell similar stories but with different twists to apply to the audience they are speaking to.
@Pikachu the old testament was written by men it is fallible it does have wise advice just as Confucius. What's amazing is how many people are you about the Torah the old testament and the Quran all three books are virtually identical in the stories that are told. What's funny the Torah is the old testament. What is fascinating about the Quran though is it only mentions Mohammed one time but it mentions Mary 12 times which is amazing considering women were not respected enough to even be mentioned.
