I have obtained a lot of radiocarbon dates older than 6000 years. Are you telling me they are all wrong?

Yes they are wrong.

You can't support the claim that it is older than 6000 years with carbon dating so we are both working on faith.

Sorry, that happens not to be the case.

You are doing apologetics (defense of religion), while I am doing science. Religious claims and other things supernatural require faith as they cannot be independently verified.

Science does not require faith because it is based on facts and theory. When a scientific theory has a long history of being supported by verifiable evidence, it is appropriate to speak about "acceptance" of (not "belief" in) the theory; or we can say that we have "confidence" (not "faith") in the theory. It is the dependence on verifiable data and the capability of testing that distinguish scientific theories from matters of faith.

Science finds no evidence to support a 6000 year old earth, while there is a mass of evidence supporting an old earth.
