And that is a young Earth? Never mind that Carbon dating and literally thousands of tests that measure millions of years of geological time are used commericially every day for mining, drilling, surveying? Do you honestly believe in a young Earth- an Earth that can't be older than say 10,000 years?

Make no mistake- I am not trying to belittle you. Who knows what tests God puts in our path to test our faith?

Have you ever studied about carbon dating? Do you that it's half life is only 5700 years...and that anything more than 50,000 years would be impossible to date using that method?

How accurate is Carbon-14 dating?

Did you know that 90% of the dating methods point to a young earth, not an old one? Why do you suppose evolutionists only cite the 10%? Because the 90% don't support their presuppositions.

In Australia, some wood found in Tertiary basalt was clearly buried in the lava flow that formed the basalt, as can be seen from the charring. The wood was "dated" by radiocarbon (14C) analysis at about 45,000 years old, but the basalt was "dated" by potassium-argon method at 45 million years old! How does 45,000 year old wood grow inside 45 million year old basalt...which, by the way, is known to have originated in a volcanic eruption about 150 years ago.

The Mount St Helen's (1980)lava flow was dated at somewhere between 25,000 and 2.5 million years old...depending on the dating method used.

Comment: there is some room for improvement in the methods, and there is "wiggle" room given the inconsistencies.
