Imagine being confident that its not 300m, but unable to pin it down to the exact number of years. It was only 6000-6500 years ago, did you lose count?

when people flat out refuse to consider facts, evidence, reality in forming their worldview, then the only thing left is mockery and ridicule, lest other people buy into the stupid bullshit

religion is a fucking cancer on the human species--it's causing preventable deaths ("nO iNsULiN fOr BaBy!!! PRAYING WILL FIX IT"), and it's long past time for it to be relegated to the embarrassing/shameful/fucking asinine drawer of history files

What a C

Why block out the name? It's a public review after all.

Religion is indeed a plague on humanity.

Both views can be right, assuming big enough errorbars.

Earth is 6000 years old ±14 billion years.

Because people are animals. Especially online.

And worse they exist in sufficient numbers for political parties wanting to cater to their views and ideas, changing the political landscape. Influencing policies, law making.

(This is a pretty echoey comment I guess)

Earth was actually created last Thursday.

When we were trying to liquidate my late FILs massive rock collection, one of the rock shops we were recommended ended up being owned by young earth creationists, dude was a geologist who thought all these rocks were 6000 years old. People be crazy.

Actually, no. The earth was created this morning, when I woke up. I was dropped into it in media res, complete with a backstory and the lore. It will be deleted when I go to bed tonight.

It's recreated every time I blink

Earth, the roguelike edition!

It's wild that some people do genuinely believe the earth is only 6000 years old.

There are human-made artefacts you can go look at in a museum right now, potentially even touch with your own hands, that are older than 6000 years old.

Even if you refused to accept other archaeological evidence, recorded human history goes back about 10000 years. So are those 4000 years worth of humans just non-existent?

((Edit - @Danquebec@sh.itjust.works is kinda right. The very earliest of proto-writing, for when one could even argue that recorded history begins, is around 6000-6600 years ago. So that actually would be within the Christian faith timeline, but just barely. And I seriously doubt the Christians had these people in mind as their earliest ancestors.))

Like it really must take some proper mental gymnastics to deny something you can see with your own eyes and say some demon made it all up specifically to fuck with Christians.

Just a rounding error.

Where else would I see this?

Also, are you trying to say it's fake? Because if so, you failed. Rage inducing content does not necessarily mean it's fake. I hear about things Trump does every damn day that induces rage in me.

The earth will actually be retained for quality and training purposes, and your personal data will shared with our 6000 intimate partners.

You can't be a geologist and a creationist.

You can be an idiot who thinks themselves a geologist tho.

Quite easy to explain: 6000-6500 years ago, when god created the world, it put those things there during the creation process for... reasons.

Checkmate atheists!

See, I like the conviction. You know what youre talking about.

Because it’s a repost from elsewhere, with extensive rules about such things.

"he commented on Yelp, while pushing the crucifix deeper inside his sensitive cavity.

"The Lord speaks through me now." he thought.

Because he's a trickster! Haha! And if you fall for one of his tricks, he sends you to hell! For eternity!

The sanest worldview.

The walking dumb.

This exact thing happened to me when I was visiting Luray Caverns in Virginia. A kid kept interrupting the tour guide to spout this nonsense, while his parents looked on proudly. The rest of the group eventually audibly groaned whenever the kid opened his mouth. Besides the absolute nonsense the parents were happily teaching this kid to be a rude dickhead.

In North Africa 40,000 years old tools have been found as well

No, you see, the devil, who is a trickster and definitely not the same entity as God, created those fake artifacts to own the libs

And God, all-powerful and in control of everything, just let him do it. He could stop the devil but he just...doesn't.

Like it really must take some proper mental gymnastics to deny something you can see with your own eyes and say some demon made it all up specifically to fuck with Christians.

Well, you can't see the age of a thing. And young-earth creationists certainly don't understand how we know the ages of things. So instead, they believe what they're told by people they trust, and those people say shit like "were you there?"

And honestly, my response (if it ever comes up) will be this: "Yes. I was there. I am God. I was there before there was. I formed this world from nothing. I am your God. Worship me." And if they question any of that, I will respond with "WERE YOU THERE?!! CUZ I FUCKING WAS!!! AND I SURE AS HELL DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE!!!" followed by "PROVE ME WRONG"

Thank you, have a nice day/night <3

People like this home schooled me K-12 so I would never have to encounter the lies of the evolutionists.

The sad thing is that even mockery probably won’t help much, because this type of person, unfortunately, defends their ignorance with the very same, utterly idiotic strategy that allows those who control them to shield their outrageous nonsense from rational arguments: They convince their deluded followers that they belong to "the select few" who know the truth—"the enlightened", or whatever they call themselfs. Thus, they proudly flaunt their absurd ignorance, paying no heed to arguments or ridicule, since they are genuinely convinced that they are the only ones who cannot be deceived.

However, these people cannot—and, above all, do not want to—realize that the deception lies precisely in their leaders’ strategy, for that would mean, of course, that they have wasted half their lives on some charlatan who has not only shamelessly exploited them but has also made them the laughingstock of society. Their idiocy is an integral part of their self-image and their personality, which is why turning away from it often means turning away from everything by which they define themselves - and that surely is a hard thing to do.

These are the typical tactics used by cult leaders. Unfortunately, there is an frighteningly high number of people who are susceptible to them—and not just in matters of religion, as the MAGA cult makes abundantly clear: It operates according to the same logic—an in-group is formed and sworn to the cult leaders’ goals, with the immediate understanding that rationality must be replaced by slavish faith in the leader or some kind of promise of salvation, because otherwise the cult members would, of course, immediately see through all the crude lies.

It's truly amazing that even in an age when almost everyone carries the entirety of human knowledge in their pocket, it still works, but unfortunately, the internet also has the effect of bringing like-minded people together in their absurd worldview, as is the case with Truth Social, for example—though the name of this deranged platform already makes it very obvious that it is a tool designed precisely and exclusively to fulfill the aforementioned cult tactics.

Edit: Of course, you’re still absolutely right: scorn and contempt are the only things one can show toward people like this—they themselves are probably beyond redemption anyway, but openly rejecting them makes it harder for them to recruit new members for their cult. These people should be treated for what they are: a danger to society, even if they themselves are often nothing more than foot soldiers who may even be unwittingly advancing the interests of their evil masters.

They got lost, never to be seen again, and the rest of the tour group has no clue where they went? What a shame.

Somebody's gotta give these babies cancer.

There is also hand stencil art in places like Indonesia and Australia from 67,800 years ago

They are trained to act when some words are said. The parents reward this behavior because it "brings more souls to salvation". In the end it just annoys professionals and makes them unable to teach in class or to even give a tour.

Yet it is a good indicator for a bountiful harvest of comments. Cheers ✨

Earth created 6k years ago? Even dumber than those flat earth people.

We can count tree rings to 12000 years ago with our eyeballs. You don't even need any fancy tools.

As a catholic, 😭

Probably won't help...

We have evidence of breweries older than that

The problem is they turn the ridicule around to "confirm" their beliefs and push themselves further in.

Cult behavior

I'm pretty sure it's a Venn diagram with quite a bit of overlap.
