- Explain to a christian man about the science behind dating rocks
- he then compares radioactive decay to water boiling
- i explain that they are completely different then go into greater detail.
- Asks me about half-life’s
- I tell him more detailed information.
- Remains skeptical says i cant prove that the decay is constant.
- give many points on how we have determined that it is.
- Remains adamant that i dont know what i’m talking about because i didnt live for sixty thousand years to determine that Carbon fourteen is stable after that point.
- Clearly,everything im saying is purely theoretical.
- Another christian friend jumps in to say in essence that you cant just believe what people tell you especially when its not factual.
- Me: is that what preachers…..and…and…
