Well those drawings are clearly crop circles, so the book must have been written by aliens. [Just kidding.]

Interesting scribbles of a schizotypal medieval monk not unlike Ted Kaczynski. Don't mean nothin'.

I’m not kidding - you can’t trust C14 dating. I don’t care if it’s creation related or not. They will have looked at other factors - the kind of paper, the kind of ink, where it was found, done their C14 hocus pocus, then give you an answer based on those other assumptions. C14 could have given them a 500 year window.

If you can trick a C14 dater into dating a dinosaur bone, it will show up as ~10000 years old. But he won’t do it if you tell him what it is.

Hand in to Nancy Pelosi.

In order to understand the book, you have to pass it.

He cut four samples from four pages, each measuring about 1 by 6 millimeters (ca. 1/16 by 1 inch)

I can't trust a source that can't do metric conversions.
