There are some creationists who deny evolution, say that Noah only needed distinct 'kinds' on the Ark... and then those 'kinds' diversified into everything we have today in I guess a few thousand years.

They basically do not believe in evolution and also posit what is functionally a Cambrian explosion that happens something like 10000 times more quickly.

Then there's the problem of... what would they eat? All the plants are dead. There are only 2 (or 7 pairs at max) of each 'kind' of predator and herbivore... ???

Then there's the heat problem. Apparently sometime in the late 80s or early 90s some scientists got bored and figured out how much water you would actually need to cover the entire earth such that no mountains are above water...

... and what you end up with is so much water, so much energy from it falling to Earth, that basically Earth becomes a multi thousand degree sauna, steam cooking everything.

You cannot argue with someone that believes in an omnipotent power, because that omnipotent power could always just "do" what needs to be done to make it work

Then why bother trying to half-ass explain it with "kinds" and the like? Just say ~~a wizard~~ god did it and leave it at that.

I personally don't bother trying to half-ass explain it

Not to mention that they laud those among their ranks that are the best at ignoring facts and details aka those with the most faith. The more info you give them, the better they can feel about denying it in favor of their beliefs.
