WAYNE, N.J. — Evangelist Ken Ham smiled at the 2,300 elementary students packed into pews, their faces rapt. With dinosaur puppets and silly cartoons, he was training them to reject much of geology, paleontology and evolutionary biology as a sinister tangle of lies.

Will work just as well for some Nazi on a thread about Holocaust denial, too.
I have personally obtained radiocarbon dates well in excess of 4000 BC. I think your "recent studies" (which you did not actually cite) are wrong.
The oldest radiocarbon date which is considered reliable in the western US is 13,400 BP (before present). This was from a human skeleton on Santa Rosa Island.
By the way, there is a mtDNA sequence on the western coast of North America extending some 11,000 years, from southern Alaska to the tip of South America. The mutations in the haplogroup can even identify the direction of migration!
When you say that science is all BS, you have an uphill battle supporting your contention.
Darwiinists are a major embarrassment to mankind for refusing to admit forthrightly the pathetic bankruptcy of their faith system to acocunt for the origins of life in a universe less than 15 billion years old.
Thank you for your reply. You spoiled it, however, with the above sentence. I did not say anything of the kind, nor do I believe it to be true. Just couldn't resist throwing stones, eh?
14 dating carbon isn't exact. Oftentimes the dating can be wrong by several thousands years, I've read.
I'm no scientist and neither do I play one on TV. Just old plain, old-fashioned common sense and unshakable reasoning capabilities.
Did I say anything about the age of the Earth? Don't believe so. I simply asked a question about the age limits.
I believe it's somewhere around 50,000 years.

Yea, so??? I still see no proof on that link. Please provide it.
Could have fooled me.
"a small piece of evidence for evolution"
An isolated fossil - determined to be male and nicknamed MRS. Ples?!
Yea, right. :-) I don't think so.
Not only that, but you ignore the Glory and grandeur of the Lord. To be so arrogant to think that God does His work on a mere human scale is small-minded.
If you want an overview of scientific dating techniques take a look at the link I posted before:

If all you read is science articles in the mainstream media you're not going to see technical discussions of how things are dated.
It's a technical, painstaking, and rather boring process; and keep in mind that I doubt 1 in 300 people you met walking down an average street in America could accurately tell you what an "Isotope" was so that drives what discussion of the subject you'll see in the media.
"Could have fooled me."
Hence the disclaimer. It is not my intention to fool anyone. I'm only interested in the truth.

I like this, when someone tells you God created the universe,"you put your hand up and you say, 'Excuse me, were you there?' Can you remember that?"
When someone tells you about Ark and flood, "you put your hand up and you say, 'Excuse me, were you there?' Can you remember that?"
When anyone tells you anything about the Bible "you put your hand up and you say, 'Excuse me, were you there?' Can you remember that?
This thought is more primitive and suppressive than Islam.
Dogma: ANY doctrine (religious or scientific) that is proclaimed as true without proof - and often widely accepted as true by true believers.
I swear I didn't click twice.
How did that double post happened?

Then perhaps you should seek it.
Marduk is nothing more than a NIMROD.
