Conversation with what turned out to be trumpers on FB

8. I've had the same problems with religious folks.

True story:

My hobby is walking fields/creeks looking for arrowheads, etc. Been doing it 40+ years.

I used to be in an archaeology club and would periodically go to schools and make a presentation about the artifacts I'd found.

At one of these events I held up a Dovetail point and informed the children it was at least 8 or 9 thousand years old.

The parents in the back of the class immediately raised a loud objection. "How do you know that?", they demanded. "When archaeologists unearth these points they perform Carbon-14 dating of associated organic material," I replied. They responded that C-14 dating was unproven and inaccurate. Basically they were complaining because, of course, the Bible say's the Earth is only 6,000 years old, and that archaeologists (those with degrees) were just over-educated liberals.

Jesus fucking Christ (pun intended.)
