If it is in fact impossible, and that 'so attempting' simply appears as being a Creationist, therefore there would be no parody (at least, none observed, only, at most, felt by the creator of said parody) in any attempt to so parody, and so perhaps your feeling is suggesting you ought in fact demonstrate the wisdom of "attempting" to so parody? Don't get me wrong, you may prefer to fail in your own duty to your conscience pursuant to your Creator by failing to "attempt to" parody being a Creationist - IDK, it's frankly a matter for you? Now, we can debate whether your duty is one owed -only- to your conscience, or in fact to your Creator, or p'raps most likely to both, and if the latter, that you might be seriously deficient in said duty in your failure to "attempt" to parody said Creator, but notwithstanding, also that doing so could conceivably encroach on the grounds of cultural creativity intended to be protected (and safe spaces so created) by the creators of the Debian Code of Conduct, but it is likely that this would give rise within you to a conflict of duties - to your Creator, vis a vis, to the Debian CoC creators. Certainly I do not envy your dilemma here... may you have wisdom in the exercise of your authority and power in regards to your "attempts" to parody one or another Creator or creators respectively.
