Instead of spitting out stale insults, why don't you tell me what that entails? I'm all ears!

You choose the latter? Really? I'd love to sling insults back, but I'm afraid you wouldn't understand them. Take your response to my post for instance. Did you even read what I said? You strawmanned the whole friggin rant for what? So that I can tell you how your reading comprehension has confused you? Seriously man, you have sky-daddy issues, I see the pattern.
No, JeffB, I challange you.

Getting pissed off at us picking on your sky daddy makes him not only look like he has a thin skin, but also makes him look like a selfish narcissist being more worried about what we call him than actual real human suffering. We picked on your sky daddy, and? The only "swoosh" that matters is the one you are not facing. You can "swoosh" insults "over my head" all you wish, I could give a fuck less. It still doesn't make invisible magical sky daddies real, not yours not any. Yes I DO have sky daddy issues. Just like I would if you claimed the moon was made of cheese.
I decided some time ago that mounting challenges to YEC is pure futility. Since it is neither scientific nor rational, it is irrefutable.
Please note that 'irrefutable' doesn't mean 'true' - it simply means that any rational refutation offered will always be countered (ultimately) by the hoary platitude that God ways are mysterious. Bear in mind that this fall back position is neither a refutation of science nor a defense of creationism. It is nothing more than a confession of abysmal ignorance about the way the world wags and what wags it. If you accept that the Earth is on the close order of 10 000 years old, that all species are fixed and immutable, that agreements about the age of our planet in geology, chemistry, biology and astronomy are ALL wrong, that 99.9% of scientists are engaged in some nefarious anti-God conspiracy - all well and good, you've a right to believe whatever helps you sleep better at night. But to claim that YEC is on a par with legitimate science not only flies in the face of reason, it indicates a perverse and disturbing unwillingness to accept observed facts about the world as is.

BTW: re·plen·ish riˈpleniSH/ verb 1. fill (something) up again. I don't think its only definition means "repopulate," which is the word I think you're shooting for.
