I must say, that I haven't heard those two arguments from creation believers lately. Hydro sorting, or 'creatures running uphill to escape the Flood'.

Really.

Have they replaced it with some new excuses I could take a look at, or have they just given up discussing the subject out of sheer embarrassment?

Except, of course, for the fact that none of the critters claimed to have been created during the Creation existed at the Creation or for millions of years after the Creation.

Creationism is not just DOA, it is utterly stupid.

There was a time when creationists claimed that evolution never happened, that in fact it couldn't happen. It's funny that they now argue "against" evolution by claiming it happened really, really fast.

As I've noted elsewhere:

Creationist John Woodmorappe, in his The Non-Transitions in ‘Human Evolution’on Evolutionists’ Terms claims that the change from modern man, i.e., Adam and Eve, to Homo ergaster, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis, and Homo neanderthalensis took place after the Babel incident, which is usually placed after the global flood and in the range of 4,000 to 5,300 years ago.

The implications of this are huge: Woodmorappe’s perceived change from modern man to Homo ergaster would require a rate of evolution on the order of several hundred times as rapid as scientists posit for the change from Homo ergaster to modern man! This is in spite of the fact that most creationists deny evolution occurs on this scale at all; now a creationist has not only proposed such a change, but sees it operating several hundreds of times faster and in reverse!

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein

In the name of diversity, college student demands to be kept in ignorance of the culture that made diversity a value--StultisTheFool

"Multiculturalism" demands that the US be tolerant of everything except its own past, culture, traditions, and identity.
