There is a passage located in the book of James which refers to the rust of gold and silver. It all sounds well and good. The lesson is clear. We should not love money. We should not allow gold and silver to become our gods. But there is a serious problem with this passage, at least some say there is a problem, and that is the fact that gold and silver do not rust!
Except...in the case of nuclear fallout. Nuclear fallout can cause both gold and silver to rust.
Isn't it wonderful that the Bible is never wrong?
