The creationists just acted like creationists. The oddest part was what the woman with the brown jacket and red scarf said, that they Biblical stories are so obviously false that their falsehood doesn't even matter because they're meant to convey some unstated lesson rather than facts. What valuable lesson can be learned from a story that's presented as factual but isn't, how is anyone supposed to know what the lesson from it is supposed to be when it's not stated in the story and all we can do in that case is just make it up, how is that method of teaching the lesson better than teaching the same lesson in another way or just not at all, and why strain so hard to come up with excuses for such a story instead of just ditching it?
