Did they consider ANYTHING that would go against their preconceived notions? Of course not!

Being a creationist means never having to let a silly little thing like evidence change what you believe about the natural world.

Evidence is to be ignored, while focusing on the one thing they can find that seems to fit their previously arrived at and ‘not to be questioned because it is from God’ conclusion.

I specialize in fluid flow and two-phase particle/fluid systems.

When I see the evidence of massive sedimentary layers with large entrained rocks and boulders in the midst of those layers, the evidence tells me they were deposited in a large worldwide flood.

But then others with a preconceived notion of tranquil millions-of-years-old seas say that uniformitarian conditions were responsible, then the gig is up.

This might be one of those situations.

“Global warming” is a classic example of “political science”. Darwnism is another.

"... In our effort to demonstrate the essential unity of religion and science, we specifically want to avoid the superficial and metaphysically incoherent approach of the materialists, which essentially reduces to magic -- no different than the young earth creationist who sees God as a kind of magician. But creation is not magic; rather, it is thoroughly rooted in, and infused with, order and Reason. Yes, there are myths that describe creation as if it were a giant magic act, but the purpose of myth is to awaken Truth within, not to force consent from without. ..."
