Some volcano,right?

Is it just me or does this suspiciously look like the story of Adam and Eve from the Bible?

Naw, it was this really bad rainy season, just one couple and their kids made it by building a big boat...

Yes, it does. Those bits of DNA are passed father-to-son and mother-to-child respectively. However, those two did not live at the same time and weren't the only people alive back then.
There's also archeological evidence that massive flooding did do a number on ancient populations in Mesopotamia. The big boat part probably exaggerates its size.
The one that supposedly caused the Great Dying, aka the Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction, might like a word...

You mean the Dekkan Traps, or the huge flood basalts in Siberia?The one that supposedly caused the Great Dying, aka the Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction, might like a word...
(disclaimer: YEC here)
Because both of those are Large Igneous Provinces, which are more than a mere 'volcano'.

Or do you just claim to be a YEC for trolling purposes?
Yes, the Third Assault of Melkor certainly involved more than one Balrog.
Joking part, it's been a while. I just remembered vaguely that the PTME was supposed to have involved a big load of volcanic activity. Waaaay more than Toba.
I'm not the sort to make false statements about my beliefs in order to troll people. Or to want to troll people at all, really.

I'm semi YEC, at the very least a creationist.
I believe in genesis it wasn't just rain that caused the flood. Genesis 7: 11"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. "
so it sounds like as well as the rain, some great fissure/explosion occurred to cause water from deep within the earths crust to spill out, could be that eruption you are referring to.

Flood myths are very common for several reasons.
- Rising sea levels as the glaciers melted.
- Early riverine civilizations were very vunerable to floods and a bad one could kill everyone in an area.

Is it wrong to wish the world was less dull than it is?All the dinosaurs in the center of the earth "sharded" at the same time
We live in what is essentially a massive water balloon spinning on its axis, hurtling through the cold void, orbiting around a flaming ball of gas which is very likely itself orbiting a massive singularity, alongside many other bodies- which is one of many in this universe. And to add to that, all of it is still being forced out at high speeds by a massive explosion that created all of our know existence?
Doesn't sound very dull to me. But if people want to believe some old '50s movie is an accurate representation of reality, then more power to them. People believe, have believed and will believe in weirder and more outlandish things. Man sharing the earth with giant lizards/birds is far less ridiculous than aliens being stacked next to super volcanos.
Anyways on the issue of the Jedi, they do make some sound points and then utterly undermine them with their idiocy. And I am going to second questioning why this is in Scientific American, surely there are better magazines for such an article?
Yeah. But you know how it is with those sort of people. They bring their politics into everything. They just can't help themselves.
Yes, they are a bunch of self-absorbed zealots who don't know when to quit. But even then you'd expect they might have one small iota of common sense, but I guess not. It is turtles of stupidity all the way down.

It's because the article is about a rebrand for wokism from the abbreviation "DEI" to "JEDI."
Stuff like this makes me think it would be really funny to have like a one-shot or something where a character brings up all the standard reasons in some fics why the Jedi are actually bad and there's a Jedi who's just like:

Intellectually I know all that put practically? Its ball of dirt filled with morons and no dinosaurs worth the name and no natural features that haven't been outgrown yet. Dull.
