Oh wow, didn’t know this was a thing. Reminds me of growing up in Christian school where they gave us all these crazy reasons why evolution was impossible and the world was 6000 years old
- tasty_freeze 4y agoYup, they have you covered there too: https://www.conservapedia.com/Counterexamples_to_Evolution https://www.conservapedia.com/Counterexamples_to_Evolution It is full of "checkmate" logic like this: "Limestone and fossils exist at the highest peaks of altitude." The implication being that the earth has been inundated for long periods of time to a depth of many thousands of meters of water. What geology really says is that those limestone fossils were formed near sea level and subsequent uplift is why those fossils of sea life ended up at the tops of mountains. But because one of the presuppositions of conservapedia is a young earth, that explanation isn't accepted.
- mountainriver 4y agoah yes I am well versed in this argument :)
