    Oh god, there are soo many easy ways out of a literal interpretation of the bible…time isn’t the same for God, etc.

    Lead can’t exist in a 7000 year timeframe…

      Hand-waving it all away is their superpower. Hon, with “The Lord™”, all things are possible. Even lead in a 7,000 year time frame.

      Not to mention that most of them consider science to be suspicious and wouldn’t have even the remotest idea of what lead has to do with anything. Even if you tried to explain it like you’d explain to a 5 year old, they would not get it. Partially because they aren’t capable, but partially because they don’t want to get it.

        I like next-Tuesdayism. The universe will be created next Tuesday, in the exact state it will be then. What you think you’re experiencing now is the false memory that will have existed once the universe exists.
