What was also equally hilarious, was that this guy also used rust as another example of something that isn't a thing, rather describing it as a corruption of a good thing - like evil.
This completely ignores all the "good" chemical uses of iron oxides, and perhaps some old christian artwork used iron oxide as a pigment.
What really fascinates me is the willingness to use such obviously flawed arguments to prop up ones faith. It seems to me that they understand the problem, they find the first "solution" to the problem even though it is clearly not a solution if you think about it for more than 3 seconds, and continue to use it, stick their fingers in their ears and stubbornly refuse to think about it. They then try and turn the conversation around so that they can continue avoiding the issue.
I would call it dishonesty, and this is the reason that these religious types really wind me up. Not only are they being dishonest to me, but to themselves as well. The consequence of this being that if everyone reasoned like that, zero human progress would be made.
