Why do creationists ask for proof of evolution and then ignore the answers?

We now understand that “The Garden of Eden” and “Noah’s Ark” are just stories - they have absolutely no grounding in fact.

All of Genesis is complete an utter twaddle. Not one word of it fits with the evidence.

The role of a supernatural being was important in Medieval society because they had zero explanations for most of the things that happened in their lives. Diseases and bad weather events were “The Work of God” - and were done for some unfathomable reason.

There are really no “gaps” for a God to hide in.

It’s kinda ironic that all of these people believe that some giant conspiracy is trying to hide the truth from them - yet in their efforts to reveal that conspiracy - they’re handily ignoring the giant effort to show the truth to them as clearly as possible.

But as science grew and gradually got a foot-hold on finding explanations for these things.

Then the Flat Earthers find it necessary to deny most of space flight - so they overlap handily with the Moon Landing deniers.

Science has this annoying (for them) habit of producing something called “The God Of The Gaps”.

We just make sure we have clean water - and fewer people died…so God got a little smaller that day.

Why cant I sleep on my side after getting my covid vaccine? I just got the shot and I’ve been overstimulated from not being able to sleep, my arm is very sore and it hurts so much to move and I just want to sleep but it hurts if I lay on either side

And those overlap the global warming deniers and the anti-vaxxers.

Religion doesn’t need to exist anymore - it doesn’t explain a single thing…it’s almost entirely debunked.

Well - enjoy your ignorance - and try to ignore the fact that the device you’re reading this on only works because we understand Quantum theory - and probably contains a GPS that only works because (a) Satellites are NOT faked by NASA, (b) Relativity actually works.

When we figured out that little Timmy died because a bacteria invaded his body from the dirty water in the well that we all drink from - and it WASN’T God needing him for some higher purpose in heaven…well, that reduced the significance of God.

So those stories are now “Allegories” - not “Gospel Truth” - so God got a little smaller again.

Sure - we still have a few loose ends to tie up - but they’re getting tied. Quantum Gravity - Dark Matter/Energy…that kind of thing. Not stuff that matters in the slightest on a day-to-day basis.

Why do flat-earthers claim the 1967 photo of Earth from space was made with CGI, even though CGI didn't exist back then?

The Venn Diagram of Creationists and Flat Earthers has a hell of a lot of overlap…which is for a reason. Bible Literalists are behind most of their combined nonsense.

Weird! I don’t get it at all.

Because they are religious nuts and they’ve already decided what the answer is - based on their dusty old book and the highly dubious mental practice of “faith” - which basically means “Believe what you’ve been told and don’t worry your pretty little head thinking about the alternatives!”

Now, here in the 21st century - we can explain very nearly everything from the beginning of time itself - to the universe around us today - and all without any supernatural involvement.

The evidence for evolution is utterly overwhelming - and the creationists are really as stubbornly stupid as the Flat Earthers.

Meanwhile, the wonder that is the world and the greater universe around us - fits together with the simplest of principles. The conservation laws, Newton’s laws, Einsteins fix for those laws, the Standard Model of particle physics…and not a whole lot else.

And all of this is because they are all really pissed that science seems to disagree with them and provides an annoying amount of convincing evidence that their entire, fictitious world-view does not fit the available facts.

It’s not surprise that people who’s entire world-view is shrouded in “FAITH!!” find this situation intolerable…so they simply deny any and all facts and proofs - ignore all debunkings…because they’ve somehow arrived at this belief that “FAITH” is absolutely everything…and therefore facts and proofs and evidence of all kind can and must be ignored.

God gets a little smaller.

Are there any real-life examples of prisoners who escaped from hospitals and were never caught?

Even fundamental morality can be reduced to “Do as you would like others to do unto you.” - and for good sociologically defensible reasons.
