Carbon-14 dating is actually quite accurate. It has been calibrated against bristlecone pines going back some 11,500 years. This means you directly count tree-rings from the present back as far as you can, using different trees of course (the ring sequences overlap), and then you date rings that are, say 9,550 years old, and establish a calibration curve. By using thousands of samples you get a pretty accurate calibration dataset. The curve has been extended past 20,000 years using other materials.
The other methods of dating are also pretty good, but they are a bit out of my field, whereas I use Carbon-14 dating a lot.
Do you have some evidence that I don't know about that shows Carbon-14 dating is not accurate?
Hard to believe.
So can you post the link to where the English language was observed to evolve in a laboratory setting? Or are you saying English is just a dialect of Aramaic?
Or maybe the belief in the English language is just a false religion?

I responded:
Thank you. So, when God creates something it doesn't have to appear right away and it can evolve.
....and you went off on the tangent that is in your post.
Do you have a response to my post that is relevant?
