I had a creationist professor who had a whole bunch of bullshit specifically intended to "debunk" aging using Polonium half-lives, etc...
You'll never "disprove" it for them, because they don't want it disproven. They'll just find the relevant page on Answers in Genesis/Ken Ham's website written by someone with a Ph.D. from Pensacola Christian College and consider it done. They're not in it to actually find the truth. It's not a good-faith discussion/debate.
In what backwoods podunk shithole did you have a creationist "professor?" What were they even ostensibly teaching?
I had a "Creationism vs evolution" class because I did one semester at a religious college before realizing I wasn't religious. It was about what'd you'd expect, and no, the credit didn't transfer to a real college
I've seen anecdotal stories of geologists who claimed they were creationists. The brain is an amazing thing.
Isn't it the other way around? Creationists claiming to be geologists?
I suppose, but the point is they do a job that requires them be knowledgeable of the science, and yet can compartmentalize things to do that but also have beliefs that run very much against what they observe in reality. Hell, geology was a science born from creationists trying to find evidence of the Flood, who then chose to go the path that the data took them, not the Bible.
Is this a real thing (outside of the US)?
History of Geology
I went to high school in rural Mississippi and had a creationist biology teacher. We quickly touched on what the textbook had to say about evolution, then spent the next week or so watching this video series on various species with symbiotic relationships and how some of them could not have possibly evolved without the other. And it was a public school. Knowing what I know now, I should have told him to stick his illegal proselytizing up his ass and just spent his class period studying in the library.
Fortunately when they go find some page in AiG, you can just go point at the corresponding entry here: https://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/list.html
Been a while since I've seen that resource. Old webpages are refreshing sometimes.
You might be interested in the community I cross-posted it to then, if you're not already in it: !oldweb@lemmy.ml
Neat. I've ran across a few things that tie to the Small Web, but this is even more eclectic.
