It is precedes, not preceeds, just for future reference.
At any rate, despite its lucidity, your argument still appears flawed.

Duh, carbon dating is not the only evidence, when you compare it to the fossil record and the depth of the find, (you know, because the deeper you dig, the further back in time you go?).Ilocano wrote:
Carbon-14 dating is only accurate to less that 100,000 years.

People are quick to reference Galileo, but religion (not just Christianity) has done much for science. I do not believe faith should require ignoring scientific evidence. But yea, too many people are willing to do just that.DBBrinson1 wrote:

Which is what I've said a million times. No man could understand anything about a god if one existed. This applies to atheists as well. No one can know whether or not a higher being exists. All we do know is the hard proof we have.AussieReaper wrote:

How so?nukchebi0 wrote:

I do not even hold the belief that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago, I do not know when exactly the Earth was created, I just believe that God created the Earth. For all I know, God could have created evolution, but I believe that the Bible is true and that God created everything and created all things in 7 days(though this could be interpreted as 7 periods of time due to the Hebrew term used in the original Hebrew texts).jsnipy wrote:

Carbon dating is accurate enough. I won't say it is perfect - no technique for anything ever is - but it is accurate enough and has been repeated enough times to form reliable dating mechanisms.nickb64 wrote:

Do you know for a fact that science cannot be disproved in any way, Scientific "fact" changes all the time, how can we be sure we are correct, we are all human and make mistakes.

Please do not flame me for this, but I think this makes sense.
Also: http://www.answersingenesis.org/get-ans … /dinosaurs
That's because they have evolved sufficiently to fill their ecological neich and thus have stopped evolving.In fact, if you go into any museum you will see fossils of dinosaurs that are 100% dinosaur, not something in between. There are no 25%, 50%, 75%, or even 99% dinosaurs—they are all 100% dinosaur!

A general rule is that after 10 half-lifes, it becomes pretty well impossible to draw any conclusions of reasonable accuracy from radioisotope dating (well, maybe not so general, but it's certainly a reasonable assumption - we're talking less than 0.1% of the original amount of whatever you are trying to measure), so a figure of 50 000 years seems pretty fair.Zefar wrote:
I read that Carbon dating was accurate to like 50 000 years. I also remember hearing that Carbon dating have problem with marine animals due to the high levels of water around them. But this was found out by a scientist and he noticefied people about it. Religious people took this way out of context and thought they crushed them. Didn't even bother to read the article to the end.
Btw for those who say, we are humans and we can be wrong. With the odds that like 500 000 scientist are wrong on every single thing they have said is just straight out mad. No way in hell.
Also dating methods work by checking the halftime of various atoms. They don't really change except on certain circumstances but those are rare but it's also most likely easy to notice this now for scientist.
Oh btw, scientist love to be proven wrong because that mean there's more to it. What I have heard at least.

What came before the 'Big Bang'? What was the, to use Aquinas' term for it, 'prime-mover' then?
