Time is relative to the observer
This one is going to be a little too easy but well let’s see where we end up shall we.
Here’s article. It’s in Dutch so I’ll briefly recap the main points of it.
At some point the gov.nl said local councils have to have an archaeological survey done of their soil. I don’t know the reason but I’d guess it is to roughly chart what is and what is not particularly interesting to try to preserve. Staphort is one of the more God fearing towns you can find in this country. And the Staphorst council figures that since they have to pay for this survey, they also want the biblical view of the age of things in the archaeological survey. Now here we run into a bit of a mathematical problem. For those of you who need enlightenment on this part. Science claims just over 4.5 billion years of Earth, calculations based on the bible generally say 6 000 years, though the article states that their estimates range from 6 000 to 12 000 years old. That’s a time difference not even Einstein can fix for us.
Now I don’t feel like joking around about this because it’s just too damn easy. Oh ok. The Staphorst council is so dense that their time runs significantly slower than the time the rest of us perceive.
Instead, I think I’m going to feel very sorry for them as well as any soil surveyor they approach. I doubt any real scientist will even do this. Which means, like with other Christian science (documentaries aired by the EO for example) it’ll get tweaked to suit their needs. One thing is for sure while their tweaking will be blunt, the tool they have used will probably not be a flint hand axe!
Now I’m going to agree with them for a bit. Not the age thing, of course not. But their logic makes some sort of sense. They pay for the survey, they want it done they way they want it done. Here is where the gov.nl should’ve paid for it in stead or at least making the higher power (*sigh* gov.nl over local council, not sky-ghosts!) add a set of standards the survey has to meet. You know, to prevent random assholes with dowsing rods from making a bid for such a job.
