  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Okay,

I have been reading these forums and all i have seen is blind guessing

Does is it really make sence that an invisible immortal phantom created everything in 6 days? Then he slept in for day? Are we to believe, over overwelming proof that we should trust an outdated book that puts the creation of everything at 6000 years ago, when carbon dating has put dinosaurs at 65 mil years old?

Really?

Stop lying to yourself.....

carbon dating hasn't put dinosaurs at 65 million years old... Don't confuse carbon dating with other forms of dating...
Quote for truth. It bugs me when people use "carbon dating" as a blanket term for all forms of radiometric dating.

When a creo uses "carbon dating" that way, it just represents that they have no idea what they are talking about and their knowledge" goes no deeper than how to cut and paste.

In the fair is fair dept, i dont think our op person knows enough to be be posting in a debate forum either.

don't they date fossils by the layer of sediment they are found in?
Yeah, but they don't rely on one thing to determine their date. They also use non-carbon based dating methods such as, for example, uranium-lead (measuring the decay of U-238 into Pb-206), potassium-argon (measuring the decay of potassium-40 into argon-40), samarium-neodymium, and uranium-thorium, among others.

yes, there are many ways to measure the date of an object accurately, usually within a few thousand years. And in the eye of universal time, a few thousands years within is pretty accurate.[/quote


Obviously the more recent something is the more accurately we can date it.

How accurate do you need to be about something five hundred million years ago, tho? Get it down to wednesday afternoon, or is within plus or minus a few million years close enough for any actual use fot the date?
