"Well you are wrong. Carbon dating is routinely used throughout archealogy, paleontology, and other sciences for dating far beyond 5,000 years. We have plenty of other callibration tools such as tree rings and ice cores that continually provide confirmation of the accuracy of carbon dating."

Imagine what you like but carbon dating is not reliable beyond 5000 years. It's sheer guesswork. It maybe "routine" however this doesn't make it accurate.

ah I see all of archeology, paleontology and physical history are wrong and all of the cross-proven dating that has been developed from the interlinked disciplines over the past 300 years is all wrong and the whole scientific community is stumbling around in ignorance.

Sorry. I didn't realize that. I stand corrected.
