well, you went on about time and a population of 8. I took both angles and disagreed. And as it happens, I believe the flood occured in the last 5000 years. Given that there is no evidence that atomic decay has been anymore constant than the speed of light or 14C accumulation, I've no problem with that
time frame. Science provides no reason to question my belief.
And given the content of your question, you seem to be less upset by facts and more by the story of the Bible. If that is the case, it is your right to question, doubt and even reject it. If you find it your right to mock me for believing it, just be aware that similar disdain is available for your own nonsense.

ROFL!!! We'll add nuclear physics to long list of fields you're greatly ignorant about.

Try the following sites. I know you won't believe scientists, so try some religious sites:

ReligiousTolerance.org Carbon-14 Dating (C-14): Beliefs of New-Earth Creationists

The American Scientific Affiliation: Science in Christian Perspective Radiometric Dating: A Christian Perspective by Dr. Roger C. Wiens.

This site, BiblicalChronologist.org has a series of good articles on radiocarbon dating.

Are tree-ring chronologies reliable? (The Biblical Chronologist, Vol. 5, No. 1)

How does the radiocarbon dating method work? (The Biblical Chronologist, Vol. 5, No. 1)

How precise is radiocarbon dating?

Is radiocarbon dating based on assumptions?

Has radiocarbon dating been invalidated by unreasonable results?
