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.

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.
@Pikachu Of course the Christians that do die from it aren't "real" Christians. Not enough "faith". Followed the wrong interpretation. Etc... Victim blaming. Also still wondering why a rando's mildew is a higher priority than child cancer🤔
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.
