Truthexplorer: okay, no worries. But lets stick with Carbon 14 for a moment. what is your explanation of the graph I showed on the previous page? in particular, why on your opinion does all these different methods converge on the same result if carbon 14 does not work? -

Outstanding new book out today for you atheists, agnostics, humanists, naturalists and free thinkers
by Cornbread ini just got back from the bookstore and i can't wait to sink into it based on all the reviews and press it has been getting.
it's called the big picture - on the origin of life, meaning, and the universe itself by sean carroll.. “weaving the threads of astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and philosophy into a seamless narrative tapestry, sean carroll enthralls us with what we’ve figured out in the universe and humbles us with what we don’t yet understand.
yet in the end, it’s the meaning of it all that feeds your soul of curiosity.” —neil degrasse tyson, host of cosmos: a spacetime odyssey*publishers weekly #1 most anticipated science book of spring 2016*"already internationally acclaimed for his elegant, lucid writing on the most challenging notions in modern physics, sean carroll is emerging as one of the greatest humanist thinkers of his generation as he brings his extraordinary intellect to bear not only on higgs bosons and extra dimensions but now also on our deepest personal questions.

So, yes, that must have been tricky for Jehovah: no rain/precipitation until 4000 years ago; then lay down what looks exactly like 400K years of snowfall (including seasonal differences) in less than a year.
BoC: You know more about this stuff than me, but do they really believe that?! I.e. the part about no rainfall? I thought they had not mentioned anything about this for something like 40 years and it was considered old light?

TruthExplorer: "As someone who questions everything, (...) They carbon date the rock and bingo, it's 230 million years old? Where on earth do they come out with these figures?"
Hi truthexplorer. It is good that you question everything, but you got to start by questioning your own assumptions. For instance nobody has ever carbon dated a rock because you can't use carbon dating on rocks.
For me, believing archeologists estimates in years based pn carbon dating would be like believing the overlapping generation teaching
You are right the historical record only goes back so far (and is largely constructed), but that's why scientists have tested carbon 14 dating against a great many external sources of verification representing very diverse chronological processes. Are you aware of that literature?
Here is a graph i made a few years back that shows the agreement between C14 dating and more than 10 external datasets offering more than 10 sources of independent confirmation of Carbon 14 dating for the past 10000 years.

wifibandit: Thanks for posting all this stuff (and for the anonymous donors!), but perhaps you would consider posting each item as a new topic unless they are very related because it is easily overlooked? -

I will summarize the videos here:
First video:
Man and girl informs person that awake is available in many languages. The person says he used to spend hours writing a single SMS in french. Girl tells him a footnote in revelation says "language". Presumably, he is immediately convinced and a bible study is started.
Second video:
Husband and wife offers platitudes about marriage to a woman. Wife says she used to get angry, but she noticed the bible told her not to and so stopped. Fade to black. Moral: Don't get angry
Third video:
Young woman shows old man two scriptures relating to Gods kingdom. In a footnote to Isiah 9.6 the word "government" is used. She will return with her husband later to show more footnotes.

BTW, the video made the frontpage of Jerry Coynes blog:
https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/
"The Disney-esque production belies a message of pure bigotry:"
Is any of you responsible?
Hopefully it will make it to mainstream news.
