    The correct answer would have been: “Why should I? You’re an idiot.”

    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.”

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

    source
    • Fermion@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes, and lead is produced in much greater abundance than uranium.

      The part that’s missing in the post is in looking specifically at uranium deposits and making assumptions about the initial composition of the deposits, since the crystalline structure excludes lead when the crystals form. So if you detect lead contained within zircon, it is assumed to be the product of radioactive decay.

        Thanks! I assumed it was rhetorical question but this waaaaay outside my area of expertise.

    We obviously live in a matrix/simulated world, and it can’t be older than 50 years, because before that, computers didn’t exist. Checkmate.

      The craziest thing is new archeological discoveries keep pushing modern humans further and further back into pre-history. Almost makes me wonder if we’ll come full circle and go “yeah humans did in fact coexist with dinosaurs, and here’s proof at least one rode one” /hj

      You have to be extremely willfully ignorant to think the earth is only 4,000 years old.

      The Bible itself makes it obvious that the 4,000 year old thing is a lie.

  • todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’m not siding with the 4000 year old earth argument, but that is a weak counterargument.

    Lead was created by dying stars that long predate the Earth.

    but who made the uranium?

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

    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!!’

    If uranium-238 can be Fused in a star why couldn’t lead be Fused directly and in tern all the elements in between.

      It does take a pretty long time to get a supernova if you’re starting from scratch.

    This would mean that there was more uranium around millions and billions of years in the past so why isn’t there any evidence of prehistoric nukes in the fossil record

      There’s at least one prehistorical nuclear reactor

      Welcome to /c/science_memes@mander.xyz with memes about…you might never have guessed…Science!

      source
      • humblebun@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Scientism is not equal to science. Scientism is a way of thinking that’s similar to a religion with saint texts written in physics and biology. It denies religion, while preserving its very structure. The meme is a good example of it.

    eat lead? this guy probably has already done that one

      Probably not willingly. Republican States are often horrible at updating infrastructure, and due to the lack of a well educated population, they don’t suffer much repercussion for that. Very high chance they grew up with or still have lead pipes.

    This is false, the Flying Spaghetti Monster in his infinite noodly wisdom and power created the world yesterday and made the Earth appear billions of years old and the universe appear even older.

    To a theist, all things are the creation of god. There’s no argument that can’t be settled as “god made it that way”. The real place you gotta hit em is in the arrogance of believing that the almighty created the bible, not humanity. And if they say that a sentient entity willed it thusly, then we return to the problem of evil: if humans are capable of evil, and this is god’s will, then the benevolent god in the bible is not accurately depicted. I wonder what else the bible got wrong? Maybe their god willed the creation of a bible that got stuff wrong on purpose?

    Young earth creationists make up new element called “creationite” from which all elements came from, thereby filling in the radioactive decay plot hole in their narrative.
