    I grew up around young earth creationists, and was taught at school that carbon dating is inaccurate to the point of uselessness past a couple thousand years. But interestingly they did not believe in hell at all. (They just believe all non believers will be burned to death once, with finality. Not forever)

      What if you die before the rapture? Do you have a short afterlife that’s just burning to your second, final death or do you squeak by with no afterlife and no burning?

        It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure it was weirdly complicated, like

        1. Jesus comes down
        2. All the dead believers are brought back to life
        3. All believers are taken to heaven
        4. Non believers are left on earth doing their own thing
        5. 1000 years later, Jesus comes back to earth, raises everyone else back from the dead, then burns everyone/everything
        6. Jesus moves heaven back to earth, which is now perfect

        … Or something like that? Hard to tell which parts I got taught and which parts I hallucinated in a fever at some point

        Edit: I looked it up and I am shocked at how well I remember it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh-day_Adventist_eschatology#Eschatological_events
