Who here ever denied evolution? I certainly didn't, I only denied that the human species evolved from primates...and I did this because I haven't seen any irrefutable proof to prove otherwise. You obviously didn't read this thread, but just decided to jump in and run your mouth when you saw there was a Christian present. It's obvious you didn't even read my earlier response to your belligerent post to me. Which, in my opinion, is the sign of an arrogant mind and a narrow attention span.

Are you really serious? It's painfully apparent that you didn't read my response now, because I specifically asked that you actually attempt to understand these desperate arguments you're trying to make!

Carbon-14 dating can only be used to provide a date for once living organisms, so...how exactly do you propose that it could manage to disprove the existence of an ethereal (and by your accounts, fictional) God? Carbon-14, or radiocarbon/radioisotope dating isn't even a precisely scientific method of dating living organisms...because in order for the methods to work, you also need to know how long the specimen has been dead. Carbon-14 is unstable and degrades over time, changing back into nitrogen...so, real scientists can only speculate how this would affect the accuracy of any readings. They claim to be able to determine an approximate age by making a hypothesis based around the half-life of the remaining organism. Is that too complex for you to wrap your little mind around? It's hypothetical...not undisputed fact. Nothing more, nothing less.

But wait, there's more! According to Don Batten, Ph.D.:

"The amount of cosmic rays penetrating Earthâ??s atmosphere affects the amount of 14C produced and therefore the dating system. The amount of cosmic rays varies with the sunâ??s activity and passage through magnetic clouds as the solar system travels around the Milky Way galaxy.

The strength of Earthâ??s magnetic field also affects the amount of cosmic rays entering the atmosphere (with a stronger magnetic field, more cosmic rays are deflected away from Earth). Overall, the energy of Earthâ??s magnetic field has been decreasing, so more 14C is being produced now than in the past. This will make old things look older than they really are."

I could go on to disprove this even further, but I'm almost certain that I've already lost your undivided attention. I'm sure you can't be bothered by listening to facts, and all...

To believe that carbon dating is infallible would be to openly admit that you are a bumbling moron. And, sadly, an insanity plea won't excuse you from the fact that you're totally ignorant of the scientific methods you profess to know anything about.
