Scientific evidence says it is.
In the seventeenth century, Archbishop James Ussher of the Church of Ireland calculated that the earth was created on October 23, 4004 BC at 9:00 AM--and I assume it was Pacific Daylight Time.
'fraid not. BS inventions used to back up the left's religion say it is.
I asked you to support your contention and you have not. You have only repeated oft-refuted talking points from creationist websites.
I challenge you to show me any accepted scientific dating method that disproves radiocarbon dating to the extent that the earth is on the close order of 6000 years rather than >50,000 years (the upper limit of the radiocarbon method).
In the meantime, here are some excellent links that will provide you with real information about radiocarbon dating, not the distortions, fabrications, and wishful thinking found on creationist websites:
ReligiousTolerance.org Carbon-14 Dating (C-14): Beliefs of New-Earth CreationistsThe 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)
Tree Ring and C14 DatingHow 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?
Radiocarbon WEB-info Radiocarbon Laboratory, University of Waikato, New Zealand.
That reminds of how probably every Wikipedia page that mentions Creationism adds "(Creationism is considered pseudoscience by the scientific community)," which is a bandwagon fallacy.
Not to mention we have modern examples of instant pertification that when tested show falsly long dates. but oh well-
Mt. St. Helens comes to mind.
-and we all know how 'accurate' carbon dating is- Heck there are any number of different dating methods that are more accurate and disprove carbon dating.--
Put your facts where your mouth is.
It's really not a bad approach. Is it?
I'm a Christian believer in evolution, but I don't have a problem with this guy's approach, as the article presents him.
That wasn't funny the first thousand times people who don't understand science said it.
Why don't you just put your hands over your ears and yell, "I can't hear you."
What are you going to do when you find out that Creationists - not atheist scientists who think natural history "proves" that God doesn't exist, but Creationists -- are tools of the same devil the bible warns is an expert at disguising himself as goodness? And in retrospect, a disguise you should have spotted because he dealt in falseness and denial in order to appeal to your pride?
When are you going to notice that neither evolution nor the age of the earth negates or challenges the Ten Commandments or the Seven Deadly Sins? Indeed, evolution confirms them because societies that basically attempt to abide by just those 17 items, have thrived and multiplied, while others that don't have dwindled and even become extinct?
God's plan has always worked and always will work no matter how He put us here or where He's taking us regardless of paleontological truths.
Thank you for posting this. My kids can't wait to go!
Didn't one of the guys who ran one of these places go to prison for tax evasion?

Bah! Ignore those silly godless heathen Darwinists and their nonsense ideas. Every good Christian knows the world was created precisely on October 23, 4004 B.C., at 10:00 a.m. Any "evidence" to the contrary is the work of satanic Marxists trying to undermine the bible. Next they'll be telling us about their "theory" of an invisible force called "gravity" that binds us to the earth, of course only the galieoists have evidence of, naturally. And perhaps one of the most deranged ideas, that there also tiny invisible creatures known as "germs" that cause disease, when we have known for ages that disease is called by demonic forces, misalignment of the stars, and evil trolls that live underground.
If you really want to annoy the Darwinists, do what I do and take part in weekly blood lettings. The fools don't know what benefits they're missing out on!

The only place dinos and people were together at the same time is in works of fiction.
Draw your own conclusions from that.
