-Genetics isn't magic. It's chemistry. Creationism is magic. Literally.
-Mutation building new genes is observed, in LIMITED time, space, and LIMITED to tweaking the genes of the parent generation. It is NOT an appeal to infinite time and space and infinite possibilities, that would be creationism.
-You do have to teach the curriculum, doesn't matter what a teacher personally thinks are the facts, you teach the curriculum you were hired for or you get fired, just like if I was hired to teach the Bible and I teach atheism, I should be fired.
-The fact that rock layers exist does not prove the flood.
-Microevolution happens
-Stop flip flopping between "there's not enough time" and "it can't change much no matter how much time."
-And stop interrupting when I answer.

Ole Nephy can't help but stumble on the correct answers sometimes, that's how robust the theory of evolution is.

Spoiler: Neph's lies get yeeted
