Nothing wore out, so nothing to leave behind. So their graves should not have worn out, nor their altars, nor their huts, nor their pottery. Where are they?

Magic, obviously - and when you've got magic on your side, you can't rule out anything, so obviously anything is possible.

Yes...ultimately all their bullshit comes down to magic. You'd think they would outgrow that by the time they turned 6 or 7 wouldn't you?

Exactly. And given the long and cherished history christian apologetics has of interpreting the bible any which way they want, even up to changing the meaning of individual words so that they mean the opposite of what they actually mean, not only is anything possible, but even the spaces in which things are written in black and white can mean whatever's convenient at the time.
But only at the time. Never later. So, like, if something they say here contradicts something elsewhere, then...
Never argue with those who are committed to their predrawn conclusions, guys.

Yes...which is why my standard secondary position with them is "fuck you and your stupid fucking god shit."
You have to keep it in terms they can understand.
