this argument isn't going to work on someone who believes god created said lead... and also, pretty sure not all lead was created from nuclear decay.

i get dunk on people feels satisfying, but this is just bad science communication through and through

I had a conversation with a woman who strongly believed God put the dinosaur bones there to test our faith.

Some lead might have been created from supernova fusion, probably. I'm not actually sure if it's the right isotope or if lead even has radioactive isotopes that we know of

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago

Anything can be radioactive if you add enough neutrons

Scientism is yet another religion

Welcome to /c/science_[email protected] with memes about...you might never have guessed...Science!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour 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.

unfortunately i don’t believe in uranium or numbers higher than 200, so this argument doesn’t work on me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Don't give up, you can still change their mind.

Just from 4000 to 200.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

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

"God made the world with lead in it"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Yes, it's in your brain.

is this even a real conversation? its just circles and rectangles

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

But the half life of polonium 210 is just 138 days. other is a few days. radium 226 is 1602 years. Why couldn't the earth have started with a lot of radium 226? Checkmate round earthers.

Could have started with lead directly. Why go the extra mile.
