2. What creationists don't or can't realize

is that evolution has all the scientific facts on their side.

If the bible is going to be used to shore up their argument, then I or anyone else can argue that there is a school of wizardry and witchcraft in Scotland based on a series of books and Google maps has the location figured out, and that it is suspiciously blurred out. It's all explained if you google "super carlin brothers location of hogwarts."

One of my favorite sentences if "I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you." No, I'm not a very nice person to the willfully ignorant.

4. Correction please, the Creationists say that they have THE BOOK. They allow no critique which asks to which edition?

Nor do they acknowledge they are in the minority according to world-wide religious doctrines.

6. My next-door neighbor ...

... (soon to be my ex-neighbor since his house just went on the market) is a Trumper, a Christian nationalist, a creationist, and a flat-earther. I learned the latter from a quick tour of his Facebook page, something I'll never subject myself to again. He never posts anything original, just re-posts of swill from numerous sources, including a detailed article about how communication satellites are fictional. Their proof is the existence of fiber-optic cables under the world's oceans. If we had satellite communication, we wouldn't need those cables, right?

It's kind of like saying the existence of landline phones proves that cell phones are fictional. I feel stupider just saying that.
