When I searched for "evidence against creationism," let's just say the results were disappointing. Here's a list of the first fifteen videos that came up:

What’s the evidence for a 6,000 year old Earth? (pro-creationism)

The Definitive Guide to Debunking Creationists Part 1: Cosmology/Planetary Science (anti-creationism)

Shortest Scientist vs Creationist debate ever. (stance unclear)

"Creation Scientist Shocks Joe Rogan with Mind-Blowing Evidence Against Evolution!" (presented as pro-creationism)

Why Evolution Is FALSE (pro-creationism)

SIX Biological Evidences for Creation - Pt.1 (pro-creationism)

Richard Dawkins: One Fact to Refute Creationism (anti-creationism)

Creationist Stumps Evolutionary Professors with ONE Question! (pro-creationism)

7 Scientific Reasons why Darwinian Evolution is a Myth (pro-creationism)

Oxford Mathematician DESTROYS Atheism In Less Than 15 Minutes (BRILLIANT!) (clickbait title, video is of a theistic scientist talking about his beliefs)

How old is the Earth --- 6,000 years or 4.5 billion? (anti-young earth creationism, though the creator claims Egyptian mummies are 200,000 years old, so...)

Evolutionary Biologist Reacts to Young Earth Creationist Arguments (anti-creationism)

This Is the Absolute BEST Evidence for Biblical Creation | Ken Ham (pro-creationism)

We Challenge All Evolutionists to Watch This Video! (pro-creationism)

So out of the first fifteen results for "evidence against creationism," only two of them have any actual relevance. Nine of the videos are straight up antiscience propaganda pushing young earth creationist pseudoscience.

The trend continued to hold after this, with some relevant videos here and there but most of the content promoting young earth creationism.

This is bad. Very bad. The purpose of young earth creationism is to turn people into Christofascists and to deny the reality of anthropogenic climate change.

So what do we do?

We make noise.

These are all verified in recent scientific papers:

Adam and Eve are the progenitors of all humans alive today.

No buried fossil with aDNA can be 10's of millions of years old.

Flood palo-hydrology is geologic fact, Noah's flood was real.

the Universe is not growing or expanding, God finished that work on day 6.

Evolution is human imagination, proof is in the Genomes.

Well, actually, birds were created on day 5, and dinosaurs on day 6. They're two different things and evolutionary biologists are wrong about this one.

"Noah's worldwide flood is a better explanation to the geological evidence, "formal geology" now accepts evidence that paleohydrology (i.e. megaflood) was in fact real as it presents evidence on every major continent, the dynamics of glaciation to produce an "ice dam" does not work as the physics does not work, water flow from observed glaciers today is "underneath" not over the top and any possible explanation of how an ice dam would form or how it would fail is scientifically intractable, note the supposed "Glacial Lake Missoula" scenario (it was supposedly a thousand feet high and holding back 500 cubic miles of liquid water!). Ran this by Grok one time and it preformed all the calculations and came to the conclusion an earthen dam or cement dam would theoretically work but totally rejected the "ice dam" suggestion under any real world conditions!

One thing to add here, all those cases you cited were based on the geologic column and accepting uniformitarianism as the basis, the original inventors of that column were young earth creationists in the 19th century and present a qualified explanation on the basis of catastrophism , I argue that uniformitarianism is complete nonsense on the basis of aDNA used as a universal clock in buried fossils at ~13c worldwide (peer reviewed and published)... The empirical finding demonstrates last bond in the aDNA disappears in 4,158 years, can provide the link and commentary if requested.

Now your response my friend, let us debate the real evidence...

Yes, @eddmaxwell, I saw your reply, you don't need to repeat it here.

The main thing that sticks out to me is that it's a truly impressive exercise in missing the point.

Me: "During the Ice Age, Britain's ecology changed numerous times, to a degree that seems impossible to me to squeeze into 500 years."

You: "Noah's flood is the cause of geology, not glaciers."

... do you not see the non sequitur there? The fact is that we can see distinct layers in the soils of Ice Age Britain, with different layers bearing distinct types of animals and plants (detected through pollen found in soil) which go together with each other and certain climates (since these plants and animals, or close relatives thereof, still exist and so we know what climactic conditions they prefer and what they need to live) and don't go together with the lower layers. The most natural reading of this evidence is that they represent different ecological layers, and that there are too many of them to fit into the 500 years reserved for this period by the standard YEC timescale.

Onto the new content:

Yes, the inventors of the geologic column were YECs. And then geologists went onto reject YEC, because it's just not a convincing reading of the data.

Like most YECs, you don't have a great grasp on what "uniformitarianism" is. Uniformitarianism is the principle that, unless there is evidence to the contrary, things happened in the past at the same speed they do now. Because uniformitarianism is simply common sense - assume things work like they do now if you have no evidence that they didn't. It's the good-old-fashioned Principle of Parsimony.

Conspiracies, Fundamentalism, and Black and White Thinking.

What about fundamentalism draws so many people to belief in conspiracies? I’ve watched my family and the church members I grew up with fall headlong into beliefs that defy reason. And their version of “truth” seems to be further and further away from reality. I don’t have a direct answer but I do have a thought on it. Black and white thinking tends to make a person venerable to believing…

BANDit = “Birds Are Not Dinosaurs” “scientists”. I use that term with a grain of salt, because birds being dinosaurs is one of the strongest supported scientific theories out there, and denying it at this point is a major (and dangerous) delusion
