The discussion I was involved in had me responding in good faith to a host of straw man arguments and ad hominem attacks

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
(Genesis 1:2-3)
Similarly, our current explanation for the dawn of our universe is that there was an inexplicable explosion of light from emptiness - the big bang.
How were these biblical writers able to know this? We are left with the conclusion that this was indeed Divinely inspired.

facts change only the truth is eternal
This is backwards. Facts never change because they are facts. Truth changes all the time.

Actually, he rode a unicorn. You do know unicorns used to exist right? They're in the bible!
Actually they are not. Common tactic used by people who hate Christians/Christianity. I suppose it's better to be ignorant than informed though.
Ya lol, you don't have to hate something/one to think they are hilarious.
So just out of curiosity, you do believe there were unicorns, giants and a global floood killed all but one family who we are the incestual decendants of, but Jesus never rode a unicorn so the pic is ridiculous!!!
Am I close? Hehe
No, but you usually do have to hate something to believe and propagate lies. Unicorns are not in the Bible. I already detailed the word used. People will believe things that coincide with their bias. Perhaps next time you should fact check.
So if you open the bible to page (not sure) it won't say unicorn??? Or do you know what the bible really means and EVERYONE else is wrong?
That's correct. It will not. Only ignorant people who prefer to not be educated on the subject are confused. I posted a source already, it's not MY opinion, it's proven fact. The Bible was not written in English, the original texts contain no mention of Unicorns. The King James version uses the English word Unicorn because the animal named in the original texts are extinct. King James is one of the worst translations, and it's the only one who uses that word.
At the time English travelers were reporting sightings of actual one horned antelopes, which is why the KJ version uses it possibly. It's shoddy translation work, because the beast in the Bible is clearly oxen, not equine/antelope.

The Bible account states that water was the first thing, or original thing. When God spoke to it, it became light and heat. The water molecule is made of hydrogen and oxygen. Combined they are harmless and stable. Once separated, if an outside source ignites them they are powerful and emit light and heat.
"And God said, let there be light..." When hydrogen and oxygen ignited it formed heat and light and the universe expanded. As the space between the hydrogen and oxygen increased, it cooled. Then it clumped and formed stars and then planets. We know that stars use hydrogen, and from this recombination the other elements are formed.
Water also consists of three atoms. The number three is often said to be the number of God.
Also: When we burn gas or oil or other fuels, we are only using the hydrogen and the oxygen. Everything else is pollution, soot, or other poisonous gases. Water therefore is the cleanest and most efficient fuel.

Global warming. The Earth is flat. Newton was entirely correct. Einstein's belief in a steady state universe was correct.
Truth is, the facts change all the time. Science always allows for the variable of change of fact.

Who says I am unhappy? I am perfectly content without worrying about what some divine being thinks of me. I don't need a fairy tail called god to help me sleep at night or get through life. God is a crutch.
