Application of logic is needed. Not scientific posturing.
If they really want to get to the bottom of things, start addressing basic questions without a preset notion in mind-
1) Why did almost every culture have history of “dragons” , Sea monsters, Serpents, etc?
2) Why do the descriptions typically in this historical references ( and folktales) more closely resemble dinosaurs than current species?
3) Why do we find fossil records that seem to indicate a worldwide flood? Ie- silt and sediment indicating being under water in line with the biblical ( and most other cultures) history?
4) Why do we lean so heavily on carbon 14 dating when we’ve had no more than a few hundred years to test something they claim to be accurate millions of years back?
Theres a lot more, but these are big enough questions- thus far, there are wild, fanciful stories such as “ People inherit a base memory from their ancestors that is carried on in the dark regions of the brain and last through multiple generations- thats why these stories of dragons emerged.

Science is a study of the natural world around you to encourage understanding of how things work for pure knowledge and for application to benefit mankind. Scientific method is meant to be double blind so that the scientists own wishes and desires arent injected into the results.
doesnt sound like thats happening a lot these days....

Where do these stories about carbon 14 dating anything millions of years old come from?

There are many places where dinosaur fossils have been unearthed and exposed by erosion. What kinds of stories do you think might have been made up to explain them if someone had found them thousands of years ago?
