Your long cut-and-paste does not impress me. You write "You base your evidence on an old earth using information given to you by people who have lied to further their career."

I am one of those people who deals with just this evidence. Are you calling me a liar? Now that's not very polite of you.

I am an archaeologist, and I have obtained radiocarbon dates way older than the young earth theory allows.

No amount of creationist pretzel bending of science can account for all of the data by all of the scientists around the world, or even the data I have collected myself.

Additionally, in the sites I personally have researched in the western US I have found no evidence for a global flood.

You should admit that your belief is a belief, and not try to claim that it is science. Then we can all get along and discuss other subjects.

Like the beating Seattle will administer to whoever it is they're playing next week.

If I do not cut and paste then you will say where is your proof.

Carbon dating does not impress me either. It is full of flaws as is the persons who have a presumption of an expected age, not looking to the possibilities of leeching or other effects that can change the out come of the date. I am not an archaeologist but I am smart enough to read both sides of the argument and discern the flaws in them. I am a builder of over 20 years and know all to well that the expected outcome of a project is effected by so many variables that you can never get the exact same results (time, heat, cold humidity, wind, lack of sleep, sick, helper, fight with the wife, and that is just at my job site, so to go by your analogy that you can not see your brain but you assume it is there, then if variables effect the out come on a building site then variables effect the outcome of dating and even the decay process itself).

Dating history is full of assumptions, especially when there is not any written historical evidence to interpret the information one is looking at.

Science is the state or fact of knowing; knowledge. So please do not tell me that Young Earth Creations is not a science. Because you do not wish to acknowledge a God who created it all is of your own free will.
