As I read the LHB stimulus, I was curious what the creationist theory / view would be on the subject.
Here's a brief summary, for anyone else who may have been curious.
From a young-earth creationist perspective, the Late Heavy Bombardment and Kuiper Belt are speculative constructs built on unobserved assumptions about deep time rather than direct evidence. The LHB is inferred from selective radiometric dating and uniformitarian models that already assume billions of years, making it circular reasoning rather than independent proof. Likewise, the Kuiper Belt is invoked to explain impacts and comet sources that fit evolutionary timelines, yet its past behavior is entirely hypothetical and cannot be tested or observed. A global Flood and a recent creation better explain widespread cratering and catastrophic processes without resorting to invisible histories and unverifiable timescales.
When the lsat feels heavy, appreciate the fact that our planet is no longer getting struck by billions of tons of comets and asteroids traveling 23,000 miles a hour for 200 million years.
I was home schooled in a conservative Christian context and my teachers hated teaching anything that wasn't Biblical. They taught evolution in order to follow the law, but they always kind of winked and said the Bible was the true story. I find scientific explanations far more interesting
@cmhrandall593 I went to public schools in a very large, blue city, and had evolution crammed down my throat. But I grew up in a conservative Christian home and was always taught the "other side" from the Biblical Worldview. Personally, I think the secular / "scientific" views take more faith to believe than the Biblical view. I love Answers in Genesis as a resource to check out for anyone who is curious about the "other side," which I personally find to be more compelling.
I try to employ the metacognitive strategy of forcing myself to be an interested reader. To buy in to the content. I jump in fully expecting that if I do my part I will learn some interesting bit of knowledge. I try to pretend that this is my speciality and I'm encountering crucial information. When I treat it as just a 5-6 minute little exercise it's like I don't really take it seriously. These videos at the end of the lesson show me that the subject matter of these essays really is interesting and really is important to groups of people out there.
That is a great tip!! Any recommendations to how to get interested when it's something you have little or no experience with? I try to do this but when it's a more technical topic I feel so out of my depth
These videos at the end of the lessons are kinda cool. They serve as as nice little study breaks while keeping what you just learned fresh in your mind

We need to boycott big LHB
this video made me laugh so hard after doing horrible on that last drill lol
Props to the camera man for going back in time 4 billion years to get this footage for us

@e.a.maurer01 Fake it and then eventually you will actually be interested

I know a guy who would survive the LHB. He's just built like that
