..and 1856 is still waaaaaay earlier than the evolutionary Mythology about it.

That's when it was found, not when he died.

You are mispeaking.

Also, lava at the top of one of Hawaii's volcanos was dated by carbon dating to be MILLIONS of YEARS old when the HISTORICAL record PROVED it to be from the 19th century!

A. Carbon dating is not used on in-organics.
B. Carbon dating can indicate dates to maybe 50,000 years; Not the "MILLIONS of YEARS" that you claim.
C. The Potassium-Argon dating that was used on the Hualalei lava flow showed dates on unmelted basalts rocks dating from 140 million years to 2.9 billion years. (See "Deep-Ocean Basalts: Inert Gas Content and Uncertainties in Age Dating, Science 162:11 Oct 1968 pp 265-266).

You are mispeaking. (again)

- This same carbon dating was used on a LIVE, i.e. LIVING mullusk and the mullusk was dated to have been DEAD OVER 100,000 years!!!

A. 100,000? see point B above.
B. Actually it was 27,000 years.
C. It is the well known reservoir effect of aquatic animals that otherwise take up limestone or other sources of "old carbon". Radiocarbon dating of marine animals is rarely, if ever, used unless there is a known calibration curve for that particular spot of water.

You are mispeaking. (once again).
