Being a scientist myself, this argument is not very good. The believer can just say that god created lead as well, and didn't wait for it to be created by decay. If god can create a universe, why shouldn't they be able to create some lead?
I find it funny that AtheistMemes comments on this gif are primarily on the science, and ScienceMemes where this was cross posted is filled with Christian apologetics.
Is this kind of decay the only way that all terrestrial lead was created?
Being born from mother tigers is the only way that terrestrial tigers can be created. Except on Creation Day, according to Creationists. It's not much of a stretch to say that's where the Earth's original stock of lead came from too.
Exactly! In fact, we know that the universe was created in media res so that light photons allegedly streaming to us from thirteen billion light years away in mid transit with the exact amount of red shift it would have from that object retreating away from us due to cosmic inflation, and was, in fact, created by God ~~2000~~ in route in the (great) void of space so that it would smack not just into the dot that is Earth, but some dude's telescope and spectrum analyzer.
In fact, I wasn't born fifty seven (and some days) years ago. I was born this last Tuesday when the universe was created with everything in motion.
ETA Apparently in the last decade, Last Tuesdayism (the omphalos hypothesis that the universe was created last Tuesday) turned into Last Thursdayism
Prior to that, Last Thursdayism was a separate sect who suggested the universe was recreated every Thursday the way we reboot our OS every once in a while.
That's a whole 'nother rabbit hole, that eventually leads to this:
Can blame it on the devil, or can say it's just a test by God. Anything from old rocks to fossils to light from distance stars created enroute. Using science to debate someone who doesn't understand science or thinks it's all a trick isn't going to work.
