Again, enough with the trolling.

'Snark' does not equal 'trolling'.

What led you to an atheist site for a science question instead of a science site? Consider this one:

Nothing that can't be done without holy strings attached.

I'm no physicist, and I think someone already touched on this, but if decay rates were ever sped up to the rates needed to make the earth thousands of years old instead of 100s of millions of years old, wouldn't that cause a release of heat that would melt the earth's crust? Seems like geologists would pick up on an event like that.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

It would melt the Earth's crust....unless there was a shit ton of water everywhere. Thinking Arguing like a creationist is kinda easy. I may go to another atheist forum and switch sides for giggles.

And whatever said missionaris might have done pales in comparison to the anti gay legislation pushed through and the denial of condoms to allow an even wider spread of HIV.

Don't forget the literal witch hunts incited by american evangelicals in Africa!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

How dare you allow math and physics stand in the way of bullshit from the very lips of he whom idiots assert to be god?

It can easily be shown that a ball of water the size of the earth would be boiled off completely many times over over by the heat released by radioactive decay that has occurred in the earth. If God unleashed a flood to cool the earth the flood water still had to have had million of years in which to slowly absorb radioactive heat and gradually radiate that heat into space if it were not to all flash into steam and cook Noah's ark.

...and that the crust would still be molten, had such radioactive decay occurred over timescales that young earth crackpots assert.

That is, unless one is willing to invoke *magic*, in which case, I'd exit the conversation, because with magic, you can assert anything at all.

I expect it to be invoked at some point, yes - because science sure as fuck isn't on his side. I just want to see him admit that's what he's relying on.

We didn't come to a Christian community to make blatant over-generalizations about Christians, now did we? If we're not as kind and patient as you would prefer, blame the thousands of creationist trolls that preceded you and left us permanently on guard. If you're not a troll and you embody the change you want to see, most of us will eventually warm up to you.

He named himself Creatard. There is no "if" in my mind. There's no reason for such nonsense besides obvious trolling. He seems like one of Dave's stinky old socks to me anyways.
