how would have Riddler escaped to Argentina? The English Channel would have been locked down by British warships, and an aircraft would have likely been intercepted at some point.

whats to say a God cant do the same thing?

even your memories are nothing more than a bunch of chemicals in your head that could have been created by a God five minutes ago

yes but the insinuation there is that all the physical evidence we have of geologic history is objectively false and biblical creation is empirically true.

The insinuation isn't just that science is wrong, but also all the evidence scientists used to come to that conclusion was deliberately fabricated by a higher power to give the illusion of "puzzle pieces" fitting together, in a literal sense tectonically but also in the metaphorical sense of retracing/recreating past events of geologic/geomorphic/orogenic significance.

How the forget did all those precipitated minerals/salt get there if it wasn't an ocean repeatedly draining/filling for 270,000 yrs? Did God just make the geologic record appear this way just to trick everyone? Or are scientists just bullstuffting everyone? The Miocene epoch began 23Ma and the Messinian Salinity CrCIA 5.6Ma after all, or is that some bullstuff misdirection by divine intervention to test our faith?

is all one would need to say about that in order to dismiss it entirely; that's the thing about Creationism. It's completely unfalsifiable. Even if you show them jets of matter coming out of black holes that are millions of light years across, they'll just say "oh he made it look realistic because he "simulated" it and put it in exactly its right place." or something like that.

so it's basically just the complete dismissal of anything that makes sense and can be objectively proven in favor of an emotionally charged argument which is essentially an appeal to authority in the divine sense (The Bible can't be wrong because God is omnipotent and the Bible is the word of God)

It's like saying someone always knows what they're talking about because they have a PhD. That doesn't make much sense, i.e. an opthamologist probably doesn't know much about calculus, they aren't a credible source just because of their education/authority.

--- Quote from: MoleManFromMiddleMars on September 18, 2017, 10:19:55 PM ---Riddler Escaped to Argentina/Antarctica


The idea that Riddler didn't commit Self Delete and that the body they found was an impersonator hired by Riddler and the actual Riddler escaped to Antarctica/Argentina with Eva Braun.

I was being edgy with the Holocaust meme, but I actually think this one has some weight. Anyone who is interested in this theory should start by reading this FBI document. Also, the fact that the remains they believed to be Riddler were tested and found to be those of a woman. Other accounts say that the body of Riddler was thoroughly burned by the Red Army on being found, which seems incredibly suspicious to me. I do not believe he went to Antarctica. That's too far-fetched for me. But I could see him going to Argentina or elsewhere.
