The correct answer would have been: "Why should I? You're an idiot."

WERE YOU THERE TO SEE IT???? - The next moronic rebuttal

"Whatever! Pssshhh!"

In the begining, was uranium, and the uranium was not stable?

I had a dude come up to me at the reference desk and tell me that the earth can’t be billions (he said trillions, lol) of years old because erosion from the Mississippi River would make it wider and deeper than it is. I pulled up some info including the idea that the Mississippi was something that came about more recently because of plate shifting, etc and he just said, "Nah."

This proof is partial though. This assumes there is only 1 way of obtaining lead. What if lead appeared from fusion in stars younger than that.

ALLEGEDLY .

There's evidence of human civilization and agriculture going back at least 10,000 years. You have to be extremely willfully ignorant to think the earth is only 4,000 years old. Hell the pyramid of Giza is older than that.

There’s bread from 14,000 years ago

Is decay the only way to get lead? I mean if uranium gets synthesized can't lead get made as well?

The tragedy is that humans aren't convinced to change their minds by facts like this. They're convinced by good stories from their friends and family.

Yeah this doesn’t do squat to prove or disprove anything to these nutters.

I’ve done the same with a variety of other things and you will get told the same thing:

God put it here.

Thing is you cannot argue with the above statement because it falls into that sort of argument you used to have when you were a child when the other kid would say ‘Nyah! Last word!!’ or ‘I can’t hear you!!’
