Because radioactive dating cannot prove dates, there are too many unknown factors. The bible teaches that human civilization is no older that 6123 years, and that the flood occured in the year 1656.
Your right. Lets just believe the bible and stop science all together because the gospels are so much more accurate.
Humans no older than 6,000 years? You have to be religious to believe something that ignorant.

You have to be non religious to believe carbon or any of the other dating systems we have are reliable...There are many obvious flaws in the system, and when someone says it is in between 40,000 and 60,000 years old, that doesn't wave a red flag to you? 20,000 year range there....20 effing thousand!! Not 20 years, 20 THOUSAND!!! People that believe this garbage are just trying to push off religion as being un-reliable, yet believe something such as this which is MORE un-reliable!

That is understandable. But to cut us off at 6000 years because of some nut job story book that isn't backed by anything but faith is not understandable. That is insanity and dangerous to the advancement of civilization. Lets keep the door open. Who knows what might walk in.

Listen, I am religious but I don't know or have an opinion of how old the Earth/people are....But I will not by any means believe in a system that they have such huge guesses to the age...If someone told you without any scientific evidence of anything that a spear they have in their possession is in between 10,000 and 40,000 years old....What would you say to them? Stop just believing what they say because it is a "scientific" way of dating things and put what they are saying into perspective....Carbon dating techniques are an absolute joke and I feel bad for people who take that as anything other than that...

That "nut job book" was written by some of the brightest intellectuals of the ancient world. Moses, who was trained by the Egyptians, wrote the first 5 books of the Torah, and he was able to meter his poems to keep them 'tamper resistant' while also explaining the flow of historical events.
The ancient world was able to accomplish with their hands, what we struggle to build with machines. Ill trust their witness over that of modern science and the "Darwinian Creed". We like to point and laugh at our past, but perhaps it is us who have become too big for our britches.
Your wrong. You have nothing to prove your stance. Nothing. Neither do I, however I am not closing the door and dictating boundaries. Beliefs are beliefs but yours is strangling everyone else.

4)The bible is indeed older than modern science, therefore making equally plausible.

Im not trolling nor am I witnessing, I am simply establishing an alternative theory which you seem to have a problem with. Science is just as much of a religion as Islam or Catholicism. It requires faith in the limited observations of man. Clearly it is you who is intolerant of anything out side of your field of scientific vision.
Here are the facts:
1)Radioactive decay is not a consistent or objective way of dating anything, when there are unknown environmental factors involved.
2)Evolution between species has yet to be proven, and is largely based on hoaxed findings. It is also shoved down the throats of school children.
3)Evolution within as species does not take thousands of years to produce change.
4)The bible is indeed older than modern science, therefore making equally plausible.
Scientists have research grants to maintain, therefore it is in their interest to produce results that glorify the opinions of their sponsors.
Im not turning this into a religious thread, Im just encouraging others to think out side of the box.
Why are you so up tight?

The " Flood" took place during the time of Oliver Cromwell??
