Did Adam and Eve have a belly button?

All this dating does is date the chemicals (or elements), it does not give us a timeframe for when a person lived.

Wrong. Read this:

How does the radiocarbon dating method work?

If a shrewdness of scientists dug up my brother's bones and dated those bones as 40,000 years old, I wouldn't bat an eye; but if a shrewdness of scientists dug up my brother's bones and dated him as 40,000 years old, I'd bat both my eyes twice.[/

You'd better start batting both eyes twice then.

Portions of FOXP2 are unique to humans.
"Some researchers have speculated that the two amino acid differences between chimps and humans led to the evolution of language in humans. Others, however, have been unable to find a clear association between species with learned vocalizations and similar mutations in FOXP2" wiki

This is speculation and no association has been established. Nice try though, better luck next time.

Nope. That's only looking at FOXP2 on its own. It's one of many factors. You fail, you are wrong; you asked for a gene mutation related to language in humans, I provided one, and now you are backpedaling.

I have two theories on that. God's time is not the same as our time.

Evidence please.

The second is that time doesn't exist until mass exists.

The laws of thermodynamics disagree. Energy is constrained by entropy, and entropy is based on time. Also, we are talking about the history that is observed in the mass. The mass had to be present for these histories to take place. Radiohalos are a direct record of uranium (which is mass) decaying over time to produce discoloration in rocks (which is mass). If the decay rates were different in the past then the halos would have completely different characteristics. That they produce the very halos we would predict from the observed and very slow decay rates of uranium this points to a very long history of decay in mass once it was here. We are being told that God just made these rocks with the false history already in them.

But neither of them "False". Just misunderstood. Man not understanding time as God does? Again, fairly easy to believe.

Last Thursdayism is only easy to believe for those who are gullible. Sorry, but there is nothing to misunderstand. The Earth is old. That is what the evidence demonstrates. No misunderstanding. If your religious beliefs require you to believe that the Earth is not old then they are false religious beliefs.

No -- I believe this earth is 4.57 billion years old, but only has been in existence for 6000.

Same for the universe.

I believe the universe has only been around for 6000 years, but has things in it that are much older -- like the earth.
How long ago do you think Adam and Eve came into existence, remembering Eve was formed from the side/rib of Adam.

I take it you didn't read the carbon dating link I gave above.
No, I didn't.

I very seldom read links that go outside of CF.

Unless it's to Wikipedia or some other site I trust.

It's safe. You can read it. It explains why carbon dating dates how long ago organic material was alive, about which you seem to be under a misapprehension.

6015 years.
Interesting.
Is all of Christianity in agreement with that? Just curious

What does the bible say about how long humans have been around?

An even greater mystery then an intelligent, all powerful God creating the first man and woman without a belly button, is everything coming from nothing, life spontaneously appearing from non-life, the first simple life form developing the ability to reproduce itself in the first generation (despite the millions and billions of years needed for evolution), the simple life form developing itself into more complex life forms through a series of beneficial cancers, going from the goo, through the zoo, to me and you, all without an intelligent designer. Amazing. If allowance is made for enough years, we can be led to believe almost anything can happen by chance.

I think God gave them one so their kids wouldn't be confused.
