Sorry but your ignorance of how science works is no longer entertaining. Science would rejoice if a T Rex was found, so much to learn from. Have no idea why you would think that it would need to be talked out of. Guess just more showing of your ignorance of the sciences. Such to be you.

With statements like this it makes sense that churches can still herd sheep's.

This article treats carbon dating like it's a singular, one-dimensional tool to date objects. The reality is that, virtually everyone knows carbon dating is no good past about 50000 years or so. Any longer, and they use different methodologies. Furthermore, pertaining to C14, there have been mountains of research done in the fields of dendrochronology, ice core samplings, etc... To calibrate the amount of C14 in a given time. It is not, as your article implies, just an assumption that "X" amount of carbon existed at this point in time.

It would make no difference to the fossil and geological record, the DNA amd the fact of natural selection even if they did - or a Stegosaur roaming Cambodia. Just another living fossil.
We are well aware of the limitations of carbon 14 dating, but the fact is that it is reliable enough - just as a roomful of clocks may differ individually and odd one may be slow. But you can get a good idea of the time, nevertheless.

And it proves an old earth, and so do the other dating methods which have been proven to have a constant rate. Confirmation in tree rings and ice cores mean cross referencing of an earth older than ten thousand years. And Troop above knew that - as we all do.

Give it up, mate, you are getting nowhere quoting Creationist misunderstandings and misinformation.

No that is not true, every time a new scientific discovery is made it proves all current science wrong and the Bible correct. That is the main reason that the anti Christian scientists keep researching so that they can prove the Bible right. At least this seems to be the impression I get from the creationist. The other day o watched a video with Neil degrasse Tyson and he stated that it was a scientist who was also a Jesuit priest who took the calculations of Hubble and came up with what became known as the Big Bang.

You are quite comical. You should do stand up. I especially liked the part about you being humble. LOL

I enjoyed the part where he said (could have been another thread) he was going to stop posting and have a beer. Though, considering what he'd posted, I was surprised he didn't say, "another" beer.

But a fundamentalist saying he was going to stop posting because he was going to go drink beer......very entertaining. Few, especially the finger shakers, are so open about their adult beverage indulgences.
