the world was created Oct. 23, 4004 B.C. – making it 6,010 yesterday.

This is a joke, right? There are paleontological specimens that are carbon dated to be millions of years old!

The radiocarbon method tops out at about 50,000 years.

You need other radiometric methods for older specimens such as paleontological specimens.
