Humans only had it slightly better, just slightly.

Or just stole the Babylonian story which was making rounds in the area. Flooding was the ultimate fear from early literate agricultural societies, especially since the earliest ones were in river valleys. No need to pretend there ever was a big flood or the story had a basis in fact other than âfloods are really badâ.

Donât go dragging teh Jooz into this. Weâre generally not creationists or young-earthers.
In Judaism the dinosaurs have yet to die out.
WTF is that supposed to mean?

The appalling % of slaves who died in the Middle Passage was proof positive of the health hazards of packing people into the hulls of wooden ships.

Tell you what, Trump: weâll build your damn wall, provided that itâs north of Texas.
Cool?

An old relative once said, itâs better to use sheepskin to make a longer Torah than to keep a shorter bloodline. I think it was a crack about latex condoms.

The minute you admit miracle then you have refuted a Creationist claim. Creationists claiming that rationally collected and analyzed evidence would prove the veracity of their mythological bullshit.
Also once you get one to admit they believe in this mumbo-jumbo because of faith they have refuted themselves. Creationism is supposed to rely on evidence to prove its point. Faith is belief in the absence of evidence.

What was the dove, then?
When you emerge from the hatch of your boat on a cold, misty day to be confronted by a heron sitting on the transom, then you realise dinosaurs are still with us.

"From Noahâs flood to my front yard, how much better can it get?â
Wait - the flood was supposed to cover the entire Earth, right? So all places should be former âflood zonesâ and fossils (of every sort of animal that lived there) should be found absolutely everywhere.

Two of my favorite evolution-themed anecdotes belong to neo-Darwinist JBS Haldane. The first is now a standard retort to Creationsists:
Q: What would it take to disprove evolution?
A. Fossil rabbits in the Precambrian!
The second was reported by John Maynard Smith; Haldane being challenged by a skeptic (massively paraphrased):
Q: Even if billions of years had been available for a process of evolution, I just canât believe itâs possible to go from a single cell to a complicated human body.
A: But madam, you did it yourself, and it took you only nine months.

Bill and Tedâs Radical Resurrection. They have to save Jesus and make sure He survives until itâs time for Him to get crucified. Then they hop forward three days, pick Him up, and travel to the present for the Second Coming Concert performed by Jesus Christ (Superstar!) and the Wyld Stallyns 2.0.

Donât forget that all the animals weâve ever found fossilized records for are in there together because they all lived side by side with Adam and Noah
