Some worship Occam’s Razor over Divine Providence.
For science to place such faith in Carbon dating, it amazingly produces inaccurate results. Relative placement on a timeline might be strongly implied, but it is a poor attempt at absolute dating.
The scientific masses appear to huddle around their assumptions and acceptance of what they were told by teachers from early age and promoted by a worldly system of thinking. Real thinkers are humble enough to consider the Word of God and how our understanding might not yet be as sound as what He has provided.
Actually, that's not "thinking" at all. It's simply faith - which is necessary as well where science does not provide us coherent answers or proof. What's wrong with using the scientific method and the powers of observation and reasoning given to us by God to attempt to better understand and harness the laws of science, as laid down by God, to improve our lives?
If we were to restrict our "thinking" to only reading the word of God in the Bible, and not apply it to the pursuit of science for the betterment of our existence, we'd still be living in huts and primitive dwellings as men did in Biblical times. IMHO, the pursuit of science to improve our lives is one of the key differences between our Judeo-Christian heritage, and that of Islam, which teaches just what you are espousing in an attempt to keep its followers in the 7th century living as savages.
