I feel like I need to wash my brain now.
As with any logical proposition, one contradiction disproves the proposed rule. If each of 43 counterexamples has merely a 10% chance of being valid -- an underestimate -- then the probability that the Earth is billions of years old is only 1%. In other words, the Earth must be young with a likelihood of 99%

I had to stop there, barely managed not to burst out laughing.

It still blows my mind that chicktracts isn't a parody.

The intelligence of humans is rapidly declining, whether measured by SAT scores,[14] music, personal letters,[15] quality of political debates,[16] the quality of news articles,[17] and many other measures. This means that if one goes back far enough, intelligence would measure at ridiculous heights, if humans were even tens of thousands of years old.
"Living fossils — jellyfish, graptolites, coelacanth, stromatolites, Wollemi pine and hundreds more. That many hundreds of species could remain so unchanged, for even up to billions of years in the case of stromatolites, speaks against the millions and billions of years being real."[19]
The high observed rate of extinctions of species[20] and harmful genetic mutations suggest a relatively short period for the existence of life rather than a long one.
Lack of genetic diversity among the Homo sapiens species. Were evolution and the old earth true, the human population would show a much larger genetic variance.[25] Some scientists have calculated that a troop of 55 chimpanzees contains more genetic diversity than the entire human race; this demonstrates that chimpanzees descended from a large initial population while humans descend from a much smaller one, which indeed we know to have been two people.
There have been a number of notable evolutionists who have been overweight.
4. You spend countless hours arguing with your girlfriend on the true definition of atheism and insist you are not diluting the definition of atheism given in most encyclopedias of philosophy.
The agnostic and evolutionist Carl Sagan was an avid marijuana smoker who claimed marijuana gave him scientific insights.[1] Sagan's agnosticism and avid pot smoking no doubt helped inspire Sagan's atheistic pseudoscience fantasy that evolution was a "fact".

Go to the south or "Middle America" -- particularly rural areas, and you will be crying, not laughing.. and suddenly YOU will find yourself labeled the "flaming liberal".
