Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

If no new species can evolve, but (as not even creationists dispute) species can go extinct, then the extinction of species over time causes biodiversity to inexorably trend toward zero.

I was watching a lot of debates during the GW Bush years and the basic common denominator belief among creationists is that God made the universe for us to use and have fun with. If we run out of resources, surely God has a plan for that, maybe he will just magic up some more stuff for us. Some maybe believed in the rapture, but didn't say it. Most probably never even considered the possibility of resources running out or species going extinct. But everyone very openly said that "God made this for us" and therefore we shouldn't shy away from "doing his will".

Its so backwards from how I read genesis to. God gave us a job, we are supposed to take care of this shit

Let me educate you about religion: angels love acid rain. It is their favorite thing.
