They cite radiocarbon dating to show that Earth is billions of years old, not a few thousand years old, as some creationists would have it.

OH, For Heaven's sake! Let's just claim modern creationists also believe the world is flat and the sun revolves around the earth. I know many Christians who believe in a Creator, but none who are stuck in this silly NYTimeswarp.

There are Young Earth Creationist FReepers (not a LOT, but not an insignificant number) and one of the most prominent Creationist "research" outfits, the Institute for Creation Research, is still a bastion of Young Earth Creationism.

That also occurs here on FR, all the time. I don't bother to try to discuss things scientific with people who are that willfully insulting. To borrow a metaphor from the writing of Mark Twain, it's like trying to teach a pig to sing.

BTW, you forgot to mention the state of Kansas. Oh, and UFOs. And the fact that creationists also deny the Holocaust happened, deny that humans cause all climate change, claim that the Moon landings were hoaxed, and think that Bigfoot is real. I'm sure there's more. (':
