My dad is not a bible man, but i have asked him if he would ever invest in gold on numerous occasions. He says that gold is very risky to invest in.

Its a physiological ploy to have everyone have a continuous "be good" mind set, just in case Jesus turns up on your door step .
Time to leave the stories behind and reject the erro ...[text shortened]... should be re-written and without the error, and then and only then, it will have some potency

Agreed it's a great conductor of electricity plus it's obvious beauty for jewelry.
It is also very malleable making very thin sheets possible.
If the price of gold dropped, it would be used in many more applications.
It is practically guaranteed that the price of gold will never drop below that of copper regardless of how much Gold is mined.
