I think there are real problems with carbon dating- I do not think the earth is as old as they purport it to be. But I do think it is older than 6000 years.

Because of the half life of carbon-14 (between 5 and 6 thousand years) it can only reliably predict ages to about 30 thousand years (maybe a bit more). It is NOT a long term dating method.

I am a "Creationist".

I also believe in adaptations, natural selection, and limited evolution.

We did not evolve from monkeys, apes or amoebae.
