What I hate about this kind of thing is that Creationists are using the readers lack of understanding of physics against them. People who use these kinds of arguements really irritate me.

It's a good thing we're not in a closed system

Although, in the spirit of that thread:

This thread is about the most idiotic creationist arguments and claims you've heard and want to share.

Do you have one you want to present?

An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea

The problem is that this is a global flood and is not coastal. Plus the water coming would be all fresh and would eventually take over. Also not all fish can survive in estuaries. You really just made a point that was useless because it defeats the whole global flood thing(being that there was land) and if not still doesn't get rid of the fact we should have no salt water fish in there was a global flood.

The diluvianist explanation for how the fragile coccolith exoskeletons managed to survive the year-long flood, or got laid down in such a way as to give the illusion of aeons-old fossil deposits post-flood, had better be a bloody good one.

God is testing you/Satan is deceiving you and you are failing/fell for it.

Of course, you'd think those arguments would cause more trouble than they solve, but it doesn't seem to bother the apologist.

I agree. They would gloss over the "better be a bloody good one" part of the equation. It always amuses me how diluvianists, at least the ones obsessed with trying to prove how the flood fits seamlessly with geological records and known scientific laws, are quick to pull the ejector seat lever labelled "magic" at the very least provocation.

It's the best of both worlds (in their mind)! They can appear to be all smart, sciency, and correct, and when objective reality rears its ugly head, they can invoke magic and keep being correct.

It always makes me think of someone trying to stuff a king-size duvet into a doll-sized cover (Dr Freud, please answer your 'phone) and insisting it fits perfectly, with no lumps or bits sticking out.
