That's okay hon. If you want to make a fundie squirm point out that this:
Genesis 11
Quote: 31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan.
helps us date their silly bible to the Iron Age in the first place since the Chaldeans

Quote:Semi-nomadic communities who moved into southern Mesopotamia in the early 1st millennium bc from the west, settling down as sedentary groups although still organized as tribal descent groups. Strongly associated with UR and the biblical stories of Abraham, the Chaldeans contributed to political and economic upheavals in Assyria and Babylonia
did not arrive in the vicinity of Ur until the middle of the 10th century BC.
They fucking hate being told that!
Then again, they hate being told much of anything, don't they?
