That evidence comes from scientest who are Trying to prove that evolution is true. Carbon dating is totally off, they're trying to date dino's that died in the flood, and prove that they're from a million years ago. Even though we all know that the earth is really about 5,000 years old.

1) Carbon dating is never used for anything that we think is from more than 50,000 years ago - the half-life is too short. But that shouldn't be a problem if the Earth is only 5000 years old, as it's very accurate to that age.
2) What the scientists are doing is providing evidence that the earth is far older than 5,000 years. Do you actually have any that the earth is only that young?
Please disinclude 99% of humanity from "we all" until you receive further notice on this. Actually that's over sixty million people. There can't be that many Young Earth Creationists out there.
Please disinclude 99.9% I should probably look up some stats on what percentage of Americans treat Genesis as literal, but I always start crying when I do.
"Even though we all know that the earth is really about 5,000 years old."
We do? Well, I know what my science textbooks told me with tangible evidence that didn't require me to use my imagination. So I "know" the Earth is millions of years old...
Ditto to what Crosis stated about radiocarbon dating. Also, since it is used frequently for anthropological digs, it has consistently determined that western civilization began at least 13,000 years ago...you know, before the earth was created according to Queen of the Dumbed.
Never mind that we have sumerian ideograms older than that, that egyptians were making papyrus around 3000 BCE, the abacus was invented around then, and, within 300 years, the first calendar was invented...
Incidentally, 5,000 years is LESS THAN ONE half-life of carbon (half-life of C-14: 5730 years)
So many wrongs in such a short quote.
ScientIst, and it's probably plural as well.
There is no need to Try; evolution was proven 150 years ago.
There was no global flood.
Dinosaurs wasn't around a million years ago, they died out 65 million years ago.
"We all" don't know that, but" we all" laugh at your ignorance.
There is recorded history older than 5000 years.
The only thing that is correct is that carbon dating is totally off if you're trying to date dinosaurs.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
