Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Wait until you hear about the heat problem.
Young earth creationists claim that radiological dating is off because all that water caused half lifes to go faster. Setting aside the question of how, this would have meant that billions of years worth of radioactive decay happened in the span of a year or so. That's a tremendous amount of heat, and would be enough to turn the Earth into a ball of plasma.
There's some other things, too, like plate tectonics. To explain away certain other problems, the plates would have to have moved pretty damn fast. Ridiculous amounts of friction building up ridiculous amounts of heat. This would also be enough to turn the Earth into a ball of plasma.
It may unironically be "checkmake, YECers". Not that they'll go away entirely, but they like having a veneer of scientific plausibility over their terrible ideas instead of relying on supernatural explanations. There's no way out of this one. The numbers here are just too big for anything but "God fixed it" to work.
