Young earth creationists make up new element called "creationite" from which all elements came from, thereby filling in the radioactive decay plot hole in their narrative.
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.
If uranium-238 can be Fused in a star why couldn’t lead be Fused directly and in tern all the elements in between.
It does take a pretty long time to get a supernova if you're starting from scratch.
Yeah this doesn’t do squat to prove or disprove anything to these nutters.
I’ve done the same with a variety of other things and you will get told the same thing:
God put it here.
Thing is you cannot argue with the above statement because it falls into that sort of argument you used to have when you were a child when the other kid would say ‘Nyah! Last word!!’ or ‘I can’t hear you!!’
Is decay the only way to get lead? I mean if uranium gets synthesized can't lead get made as well?
Radioactive decay is not the only way to make lead, and lead is produced in much greater abundance than uranium.
The part that's missing in the post is in looking specifically at uranium deposits and making assumptions about the initial composition of the deposits, since the crystalline structure excludes lead when the crystals form. So if you detect lead contained within zircon, it is assumed to be the product of radioactive decay.
Thanks! I assumed it was rhetorical question but this waaaaay outside my area of expertise.
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.
And Facebook, but I'm just repeating what you said, aren't I?
So we should start telling our family and friends good stories about being able to change your mind based on evidence and facts

Dude is gonna come back at him with the first mention of lead in the bible and say, no this is where God created lead, lol.
This would mean that there was more uranium around millions and billions of years in the past so why isn't there any evidence of prehistoric nukes in the fossil record
This is false, the Flying Spaghetti Monster in his infinite noodly wisdom and power created the world yesterday and made the Earth appear billions of years old and the universe appear even older.
don't eat lead it is bad for you
