All young Earth creationist should be exiled to a remote desert island to die

Two islands, divide them by sex. If you don't, they will eventually overpopulate and start colonizing places like they've been in the last 1000 years.

Too risky. What if u misgender one accidentially? Put each on a separate island. Or into a sealed barrel and just into the ocean.

I was a YEC before going to university. I studied geology. After two years, I accepted that evolution happened. After four years, I was an atheist. I went on to get a doctorate, and I have published quite a few papers about rocks that are >2 billion years old.

As a kid, there were literally 0 authority figures in my life that accepted that evolution happened. It was taken as a given that it was ridiculous. My biology teacher skipped the chapter on evolution, saying, “this is controversial.”

Patience, love, and making critical information available gives kids like I was a chance.

That is quite a journey! I hope that it wasn't too fraught (learning shouldn't have to be). Well done on making good of it!

Should we start building a big wooden boat for them?

There's just no way that they could ever be anything but a drain to society
