But I'm no expert and I'd be interested in any academic corroboration of the criticism, if anyone finds any. |

Such a tatic is demonstrative of an arrogance that has rendered a truly inquiring mind lazy and feable. |

As any geologist will tell you, before carbon dating and Darwin it was geologists against whom religious people were contriving arguments. Evidence that the earth is hundreds of millions of years old is everywhere to be seen. The Greeks even figured it out without the benefit of carbon dating. But this simple truth does violence to Genesis' take on creation.

I'm sorry TB, I didn't say you were a skeptic or really make any comment regarding you. I was merely commenting on the provenance and motivation of the critiques of carbon dating.

You continually deny the truths of your religous upbringing in favor of outmoded and weak minded sensationalistic rhetoric. let go of your guilt and put away your fear of yourself. For that is what truly frightens you; the zeal you once had and long for. |
