n short, they believe that God created humans within fewer than 10,000 years.

Carbon dating puts first modern humans at 300,000 years ago.

“Carbon dating puts first modern humans at 300,000 years ago.”

And carbon dating depends on a constant carbon ratio for all those years which is clearly a guess or hope since there are so many variables that can change that ratio.

It still amazes me how many items have been carbon dated and then archeology has proved the carbon dating to be wrong and the comment is always I guess we need to re-calibrate.

To me basing life, death, and eternity on such variables seems most careless, but to each his own, God bless.

Really? How's that? Carbon dating is only believed to be able to date back to about 50,000 years.
