Young earth Creationism.

[Sammy-San]

Carbon dating is actually quite limited in some terms. Within hundreds of years it can be said as accurate, and it can count thousands of years since the death of an organism, but after that the accuracy starts to fail.

There's also a random factor to carbon dating, because different isotopes of radioactive carbon will decompose in an order which is hard to predict, and so the results do have a margin of error.

So it's accurate to a point but even it has it's limits.

When scientist count in million of years, they mainly do it by counting it from the layers of stone, as well as from the fissures of the assumed spots where the super continents, such as Pangaea used to be whole before. They also try to calculate what the layers of ice did.

If they find fossils, they will assume that the fossils were from the same era as the stone layer. Carbon dating is very unreliable when millions of years are the subject.

But scientific calculating aside, do you believe that God could press the "fast forward" button? To have power over the time itself? That would make 6000 years possible.

How can the earth only be 6000 yrs old, when anthropology studies show that the australian aborignies have lived in australia for about 40,000 years?

That seems to contradict young earth creationism.

They methods and ethics of anthropologists are not absolutely dependable. They get grant money, favorable peer review, and tenure by sticking to the "settled science" of evolution and uniformitarianism.
