Excavations in the Cairngorms have revealed evidence of a human settlement as long ago as 8,000 BC which is 3,000 years earlier than previously thought.
Archaeologists have been examining a scattering of stone tools around a fire setting at Glen Geldie on the Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire.

“it is hard to imagine what it must have been like in the much harsher climate 8,000 years ago.” At no point in the article was the rationale for the dates and how they were determined explained. We are expected to accept it on faith. Nonsense, not this faithless person.

We Jews date our calendar from God’s call of Abraham on Heshvan 5, 5760.

Most Christians/Jews who believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible believe the earth is ~6000 years old. Regardless of what the crazy Pat Robertson believes.

Fungi:
"At no point in the article was the rationale for the dates and how they were determined explained.
We are expected to accept it on faith.
Nonsense, not this faithless person." You have to flip through some screens, but you finally do get to the explanation:
"Excavations at sites deep in the Cairngorm glens around the Mar Lodge Estate in Aberdeenshire have produced radiocarbon dates showing humans were presents far back as 8100 BC."
If you're looking for a primer on radiometric dating, you might start here.
