Even if true ... doesn’t advance the supernatural theory that the magical Hebrew God created the Universe 5,000 years ago.

I don’t think that was the purpose. It demonstrates the fairy-tale (and terribly sloppy) science we cling to as fact and the inability of our scientific community (in general) to move forward.

Are you just trying to troll? Making fun of someone's religious beliefs is not cool. And calling Christianity 'the supernatural theory that the magical Hebrew God created the Universe 5,000 years ago' is definitely not conservative.

But it does bolster my theory that Satan’s been moving fossils around to screw with people’s heads.

Science CANNOT provide some answers, such as how and why the universe was formed. The laws that govern the universe weren’t in effect at its inception. Even how life started is beyond human understanding, obviously not beyond a lot of speculation, though.

Belief in a creator is no more of a leap of faith than believing that everything we see around us formed from the chaos that science believes began this universe.

I know I am not commenting on this specific topic on radiocarbon dating, but to see someone trash the idea of a creator is strange to me, since science has no answers, and will never be able to give answers, regarding how the universe began.

BTW, not all Christians believe that the universe was created 5000 or even 6000 years ago, but you knew that already, didn’t you?

Nice red herring.

Without reading the posted article, I can be sure that the poster made no such claim.

Is that the best you can do?
