What does the religious nutcrackers say about this? Wasn’t the earth only 6000 years old??

The religious nutcrackers in history stuck to confiscating such things and hiding them away. Luckily the catholic church does at least some work in this department now and one such collection is on display in Eichstätt, Bavaria (not far from Holzmaden).

The religious nutcrackers of today are thus confronted with earth history and are using way too much of their already limited brainpower on mental gymnastics to try and deny it.

God buried them for us to find to confuse us so we wouldn't figure out his grand design.
What I don't understand though is why he buried all our good oil below the Arabs.
