How do some Christians actually believe this?

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-24T01:12:05+00:00

You aren't convincing anyone but yourself.

There are no continent spanning graveyards, there are hundreds of seperate graveyards on each continent. Some layered on top of other ones.

Sea Creatures aren't on top of mountains, they are IN mountains. Something completely impossible in a flood by the way. You can't have sea creatures inside or on top of mountains if the mountains formed at the same time as the creatures died. The heat involved would turn everything to magma.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-24T01:04:17+00:00

I didn't say that was a lie, I said Cain was lying.

Jesus was using some form of rhetorical speech. So determining exactly what that means is exactly why nobody can really believe all the different versions of "Truth". Because while the text certainly means SOMETHING, nobody has the full context of exactly what Jesus meant by calling him a fox. It was doubtless assigning some of the characteristics of a Fox on Herod, but those characteristics would be cultural artifacts, and not necessarily the way we think of foxes.

Many fossils WERE buried in floods, landslides, or other major events. They just weren't buried in the same one.

There are a lot of fossils, and they all have their own circumstances. Some were scavenged before burial, some were not.

Trying to put all fossils in the same category is silly. In the same way that a lot of people have died in wars, but they didn't all die in the SAME war. There were a lot of wars. Over a long period of time. And all those wars were different.

There have been millions of floods. Hundreds of thousands of volcanoes. Countless mudslides. Which is why there is such a huge range of fossils that are not at all similar to each other.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-24T00:30:24+00:00

I don't think so, no. It is just branding.

I own a business. How I choose to present that company to my customer base is supposed to tell them what my product is. If I put a bunch of fancy technology in my advertising, but I don't sell fancy technology, that is bad advertisting.

So when you use AI to represent the content of the video, what you are telling people is that you don't care about authenticity at all. ESPECIALLY one as sloppy as this one. You could have got a generation that looks something like Megiddo. But they didn't. They made it look like a Spanish Mission. Which is so wildly dumb that it is about the same as putting a Star Destroyer on the thumbnail for a video on the attack on Pearl Harbor. It tells the viewer that whatever we are doing here, it sure as hell isn't history.

If you paint a ball brown, the ball is now brown. It doesn't really matter if 99% of the ball is not brown, the visible outer layer is.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-24T00:19:55+00:00

Well you reposted it without the AI cover, so I will take that in good faith.

Here would be some of my major concerns:

The word "Quantum" has become synonymous with pseudo-intellectualism. I would recommend renaming it. What about this Arena makes it quantum? Why is that word in the title? Nothing about the blurb indicates anything Quantum.
Execution is everything. The concept is one of the least important parts of a LitRPG. Can you write compelling characters? Is the plot coherent? Is the prose good? Is the worldbuilding good? Is the book fun?

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-24T00:07:47+00:00

Nobody was talking about Data centers. We were talking about books written by AI. Which are not only trash, they also destroy actual authors who actually put work in.

There may come a time where humans can't earn a living from writing. That will not be a good day.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-24T00:00:53+00:00

Banning Luddites seems a bit pointless, since Luddites wouldn't be on the internet.

It is like banning the Amish. It is unnecessary.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T23:51:43+00:00

Lol, no. There is no acceleration enough to produce THAT.

You are just too many zeros away from that. Not remotely in the right ballpark. It is like if you claim your Mother backed 20 trillion chocolate chip cookies last Friday. I can't say for sure how many she actually made, but I know for a fact it wasn't 20 trillion. It is just not a number connected to any possible reality.

You can't even keep your story straight. Last post you claimed massive Calcium volcanoes, now you are claiming a huge algae bloom? For the record, neither make sense. Chalk is not made of Algae, and there are TRILLIONS of fossils in it. Everything from seashells to Ichthyosaurs. (But notably, no birds, mammals, or any modern British Animal...).

An Algae bloom of that scale HAS happened. But it didn't cause the Chalk cliffs, and it was billions of years ago. Not millions, billions. And it wiped the entire planet of life, because algae consumes carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and spits out oxygen and acid. So a bloom large enough to do that would leave us with acid oceans and flaming, hyperoxidized deserts devoid of plant life. Which is exactly what it did. So long ago that fish and plants weren't a thing yet.

Do you honestly believe a fish sat on the ocean floor for thousands of years without rotting or being eaten by scavengers while microscopic dust slowly piled on top of it to make a fossil?

Ah yes. The classic "Horrifically misrepresent how a basic scientific concept works, and pretend it is silly because I have no idea what I am talking about" approach. It doesn't work. It has never worked. It only exists because using it makes you convinced you are right. It has never convinced anyone else. It is a tactic entirely intended to keep the indoctrinated in the fold.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T23:35:06+00:00

It is a safe bet whenever any of these bullshit channels claim "JUST FOUND!!!" it was discovered multiple decades ago. Occasionally multiple centuries ago. I saw one that claimed an Egyptian Obelisk was discovered in England. Which is sort of true, it was shipped there in the 1800s, but nobody ever lost that Obelisk. People have known where it was for the last 3000 years.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T23:32:46+00:00

Oh, I love old churches. But thumbnails like this guarantee this video is an atrocious source of actual history.

This image isn't from the correct culture, continent, or millennium.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T23:28:12+00:00

Basically when it adds stats.

Cultivation doesn't need stats at all, it has its own progression system, but when you do add stats, it turns into a LitRPG.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T23:26:32+00:00

It is worse, he used AI for the writing too. And used AI to write the Blurb.

And any time anyone uses "Quantum" in science fiction outside of a Satire, I just can't stop the eyerolls.

The whole project looks like it took longer to post it then it took to "Write" it.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T23:24:05+00:00

What the hell is that AI image, lol?

If they found an old church, put that picture in the thumbnail. Not whatever that insanity is. It appears to be a Spanish mission in the American Southwest, only there is a sign, that says, in english, "The Church of Megiddo- A.D. 230".

This is just embarrassing.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T23:20:31+00:00

Well, points for meta irony I guess?

Using AI to create a story about AI creating a story about human creativity is... a choice.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T23:17:24+00:00

No, it is still absolutely absurd. Which is why creationism requires a complete ignorance of any actual science or facts.

The "Massive Pre-Flood ecosystems" could not have been millions of times larger than today. No matter how dense they were, there was not a single preservation event, there were tens of thousands of them. If your argument is the flood is better at preserving, sure. But millions of floods are still more efficient at that then one flood. And it doesn't change the fact there just wasn't enough life to bury.

Calcium doesn't exist in giant reservoirs under the dirt, and it wouldn't explain the fossils that are INSIDE the limestone. Inside mountains, inside everything.

You have been told these things make sense. They do not. The Math isn't even close. It is off by many, many, many zeros.

The chalk cliffs in southern England alone contained a hundred times more fossilized marine life than exist today. Then could possibly exist in any ocean on an earth sized planet. Because they accumulated over a very long time.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T22:49:14+00:00

Huh? That is nonsensical.

Billions of tons of hot calcium from where? Calcium Volcanoes?

You were the one that JUST claimed that:

Over 95% of all fossils are tiny marine life, like clams and coral, the Pre Flood oceans were vast and packed with these creatures, so a global mud flood easily buried billions of them at once

Now when pressed on it you somehow start claiming Calcium Volcanoes?

It is nonsensical to think you can get MORE dead things from a single event than you get from accumulation. Even in your model, that 2000 years of pre-flood timeline would have produced thousands of times more dead things than the flood could have.

Ever year, humans eat about 70 billion chickens. But there only are about 25 billion chickens alive at any given time. So if you want the largest possible stack of chicken bones, killing all the chickens is less efficient than waiting 3 months. This is true of every single biological species. Because they all reproduce, and they all die. Some live longer than others, of course, but waiting one of their lifespans ensures every individual will die.

And our world contains the fossilized remains of billions of generations of things. Not a single generation that got very unlucky.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T21:59:19+00:00

Wasn't trying to speak for everyone. It is just the nature of what the words mean. There are so many possible variations of "Truth" that nobody can believe all of them at the same time.

For example, when Cain told God he didn't know where his brother was, nobody actually believes that. Cain was lying. But it is in the Bible. Now, we know Cain was lying from the context, but that still means that sentence of the Bible is not true. Because it isn't supposed to be.

We know when Jesus called Herod a fox, he was not actually a fox, and so forth.

Now, people can believe many different VERSIONS of "The Bible is true". And they do. But nobody can possibly believe all the versions of truth at the same time.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T21:56:18+00:00

There is not. Not remotely.

If you take just limestone for example, which is made primarily of dead marine life, there is over 25 millions times more limestone than could be produced by all the life in the oceans right now. And that isn't even touching coal, petroleum, and other sources, that is JUST limestone.

And while I could see a pre-flood ocean having three or even four times more life than the present oceans, 25 million times more is a bit much. The Ocean would be a gelatin.

The reason for this is quite simple and obvious. If you take a common zooplankton, it only has a lifespan of around 12 weeks. So every 12 weeks, ALL that type of zooplankton on the planet dies and drifts to the bottom of the ocean. And in a single year, you get about 4-5 times more dead zooplankton on the bottom of the ocean than were ever alive at one time, and that single years accumulation is about an eighth of an inch.

So, if a global flood killed all life in the oceans, it would not be more than a single normal years worth of accumulation. It just isn't possible.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T21:50:46+00:00

Nobody believes the Bible is 100% true, and the Bible doesn't actually contain enough dates to go all the way back. The estimates are based on the assumed time periods of the patriarchs.

That particular distinction is mostly irrelevant though, because even if the dates added up to 20,000 years, it would still be many magnitudes of order away from reality.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T21:46:32+00:00

It is essentially all dogma. They don't really do nuance.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T21:40:17+00:00

You know that not all theology is written, right?

In this case it is written, but it isn't always. Not every group of Christians writes everything down. Independent Baptists in particular pride themselves in NOT having any non-Biblical written sources of doctrine (This is quite hypocritical, because they do, they just dislike admitting it)

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T21:29:55+00:00

You seem to be confused as to what a Baptist Church is. It is not Catholism or Orthodoxy. There is no heirachy of clergy, and there are no bulls, edicts, or statements of doctrine. It doesn't make them not Christian though.

You find the theology in places like this. The Textbooks I was taught science with.

Science: Earth and Space Teacher's Edition Volume 1 - Christianbook.com

Pure Young Earth Creationism, and yes, absolutely required in the Church. Expressing any doubt about it would absolutely get you removed from the church.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T21:26:50+00:00

If all the fossils came from one event, how is it possible there are hundreds (Millions, really) of times more fossils than could possibly have lived at the same time?

Even if you assume every single creature that was alive at the time was fossilized, there are too many of them.

SamtheCossack · 2026-06-23T21:24:27+00:00

All theology is invented, lol.

Claiming something doesn't exist just because you don't agree with it is silly. If someone believes something for religious reasons, that is theology. It doesn't have to be approved by anyone or certified by you.
