Young animals have higher metabolisms than mature animals, that means that for their body weight juveniles need to consume considerably more than an adult does to maintain themselves.

How were so few people managing the waste products of so many animals and themselves?

It is pretty funny that the entire premise of this movie was basically "Guy gives himself a concussion then becomes a creationist."

Both movies are about a guy being bullied into denying science and embracing creationism, by a sinister bald figure that appears before him in a dream. The first one literally tells him he will only wake up if he accepts what he is being told, whilst I,plying that previous night guards never woke up. In other films this guy would be the villain yet here they’re the one you are supposed to agree with.

You don't have to have brain trauma to be a creationist, but.... That might be the thing that bothers me the most about these... "movies"... for lack of a better term.

The idea that he deserved his cancer, that cancer was gods plan for him fills me with rage the likes of which I cannot express. Thank goodness none of that is true. Also friendly reminder, the pharaoh story says that god “hardened the pharaoh’s heart,” meaning that the pharaoh was going to do what Moses asked but god changed his mind just so he could torture the Egyptians and kill their children.

[@jenndoesstuff]

I'm a geologist and this man's understanding of basic concepts in my field is so poor that it actually hurts me. Rocks do not always break! Different types of rocks in different settings can experience what is called ductile deformation, which is when they bend or buckle without actually fracturing/faulting. Rocks like this also tend to be buried at great depths when they experience this deformation, causing much higher pressures than they would encounter on the surface, which changes the way they react. A rock that would simply break at surface conditions could very well bend and flow without breaking when buried thousands of meters below the surface under intense pressures and increased temperatures. This is literally stuff you can learn in intro geology classes or just by having a functioning brain. Warm things tend to bend. Cold things tend to break. Shocking. Revolutionary. It's just so crazy how ignorant of science and just basic common sense you have to be to think anything these people say makes any sense at all.

[@jennyanydots2389]

I found out a little while back that a lot of these guys genuinely believe they've uncovered the real Ark, or something, and it's just a rock formation by the looks of things.

It's like the human race has returned to a mental ability to that of Serfs during the middle-ages.

Ah, yes. My favorite argument. God is omnipotent and omniscient and made a bunch of humans to worship him and carry out his will, but all he could make is a bunch of deeply defective products that constantly defy him and need to be punished for it.

Every single person is standing in front of the cracks they say don’t exist, which is easily confirmed by other photos of the exact location/formation.

They will say any old rubbish to defend the cult.

[@sassylittleprophet]

I was taught by Kent Hovind (Eric's abusive conartist dad) that it had never rained before the Flood (and also never flooded, I guess?), which is why no one believed Noah when he tried to warn them of the Flood. It had never happened before. Also, there were no mountains, canyons, or oceans until after the Flood. (I no longer believe this, just to clarify. I was taught this when I was 6.) I've also actually met both Kent Hovind and Eric Hovind in person, when I was a kid. My family attended 2 of Kent's lectures and took him out to dinner once. We also saw one of Eric's lectures and took him out to McDonald's for breakfast (we were in a rush), only to be told by my parents to thank Eric because he had paid the entire bill (which, in a family of 8 is kind-of a lot). I actually feel sad for Eric because I know what it's like to be brainwashed and abused as a result of his dad's abusiveness and insanity. At least when I met him, Eric seemed like a good guy. I hope he frees himself from all that propaganda someday.

Honestly, this video made me think creationists just want to believe they're the main characters in a fantasy epic. If you want to believe in a literal interpretation, why not claim the flood was a massive flood in the middle east and Noah brought a bunch of domesticated animals on the ark. You could easily see bronze age writers and readers describing such an event as the whole world flooding and two of each kind of animal being brought onto the ark. For wild animal, just hand wave away that God made other plans for their survival, because they are part of the natural world. Fundementalist seem to have a weird habit of getting hung up on small stories or details and then constructing entire world views to explain how they are 100% literal, instead of assuming something is a figure of speech or poetic writing.

Even at only a fraction of the size that the ark was supposed to be, the replica didnt last long, it sprang leaks and the sides tended to sag outward from the sheer weight of itself.

Yeah, I've seen people discuss, at some length, that according to the Bible, it was God's will that everyone not on his official guest list die in the flood. If Noah was going around preaching, warning people about it, trying to get them to come on the Ark too, he's basically defying God, trying to contravene his will. If they truly believed in the sort of god centric morality they say they do, it'd be "more correct" to say that Noah didn't tell anyone anything, because they were under the judgement of God and it was not his place to work against it, for he was a righteous man or w/e.

In @36:50, the video title is translated in Simplified Chinese and spoken in Mandarin Chinese, which is probably aimed for Chinese immigrants. It is worth noting that some Hong Kong creationist billionaires (Kwok brothers) tried to build a creationist museum, and they have AiG as their consultants, but the billionaires bribed government officials to build their museum. Other groups of creationists have also sent some people from HK to Turkey to see a 'historical site' of the Noah's Ark, only to find out it is all a scam and the guests paid thousands of dollars when they cannot even see the archeological site and evidence themselves. Yet, they still believed what they have been told by these scammers, and now many of them are supporters of MAGA. It is truly heartbreaking to watch.

The sheer amount of energy needed would make the Earth so hot that nothing could survive.

[@Llortnerof]

Your partner is right. The amount of water in such a short timeframe would require a tremendous force to move. A lot of which, of course, becomes heat relatively quickly. So the water would also be boiling. Because things aren't bad enough already, what with the Ark being a death trap, the water being drained being no better, all the rapid shifts and decay producing just as much heat... We can tell the flood didn't happen from the fact we're not living on a lava planet alone. Any Christian literalist who is afraid of WW3 is silly. They believe a guy in a wooden box survived something millions of times worse than even a full-on thermonuclear war could ever achieve.

[@DavidSmith-vr1nb]

The list of problems with the flood is quite long. The salinity problem affects not only fish but most plants and the soil they grow in. Unfortunately it comes after the water movement heat problem, the accelerated nuclear decay heat problem, the accelerated plate tectonics heat problem, the limestone deposition heat problem, the heat generated by the number of lifeforms that must have lived and died, and a bunch of other heat problems that I've forgotten. Then there's the complete lack of geological evidence, the other cultures that failed to notice it, and a bunch of other problems.

This is biblically accurate. Romans 9:14-21 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
