The correct answer would have been: "Why should I? You're an idiot."

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

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."

This proof is partial though. This assumes there is only 1 way of obtaining lead. What if lead appeared from fusion in stars younger than that.

Yeah, subsurface helium would probably have been a better example for this

There's evidence of human civilization and agriculture going back at least 10,000 years. You have to be extremely willfully ignorant to think the earth is only 4,000 years old. Hell the pyramid of Giza is older than that.

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

The tragedy is that humans aren't convinced to change their minds by facts like this. They're convinced by good stories from their friends and family.

There’s bread from 14,000 years ago

Look I don't like them either, but you can't refer to crusty bishops that way
