“Did you call them agents of Satan “

No, but I did notice that Mr Leakey, when trying to prove he found a very old monkey skull, had to do his carbon dating over 50 times before he received a very old date that he liked - ha ha ha.

It couldn't have been very old if he was doing carbon dating.

You have blown any scientific credibility to which you pretended with this post.

First, Leakey did not do his own radiometric dating. That type of dating is done by experienced geologists and nuclear physicists or chemists.

Second, everyone knows that you don't date million-year-old fossils with "carbon dating" -- radiocarbon dating is only useful back about 50,000 years, and does not work on volcanic rocks, which is what they date in Africa!

So you do acknowledge that many elements have half lives of millions of years, which makes a 6,000 year old Earth highly unlikely.
