I used to think magical creationism idiocy could only be found in Idiot America and the world's worthless Muslim theocracies. I was wrong. Even a civilized country like Australia (their prime minister is an atheist, a female atheist) is infested with Christian assholes who think people lived with dinosaurs, a magical flood created the Grand Canyon, and of course people (and the entire fucking universe) were magically created out of nothing 6,000 years ago.
The stupid, it burns everywhere.
I wrote this comment which is awaiting censorship at BiblicalGeology blog:
The Grand Canyon is one mile deep. A flood couldn't have done it. Not even your magical flood. Not one mile. Not even one quarter mile.
Erosion from the Colorado River, millions of years, that would work. Any child could figure that out, not to mention virtually every single geologist in the world.
You have your Bible. Science has evidence. Scientific evidence always defeats religious fantasy.
Your "the same evidence can be interpreted in a different way" implies your magical creationism is equal to scientific facts. You are wrong. Magic is not equal to reality.

Some real science: Geology of the Grand Canyon area
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
