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. You should admit that most of the human fossil evidence has been misinterpreted. That the people have lied to further their careers.

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.

Carbon 14 dating is calibrated by dating objects of known age, such as Egyptian artifacts and tree-rings.

In the White Mountains of California there are standing dead trees (bristlecone pines). They each rings. Those rings form sequences. The sequences can be overlapped, to give a continuous tree-ring sequence back some 11,600 years.

By dating individual tree-rings, a calibration curve can be established which corrects for the amounts of Carbon 14 in the atmosphere, which vary slightly.

Using other techniques, such as glacial varves this calibration curve can be extended past 20,000 years.

Now you may not choose to believe in it, but tens of thousands of scientists find it an accurate method of dating.

So please do not tell me that Young Earth Creations is not a science.

Creationism in all of its forms are not science, they are religious beliefs.
