Attn: creationists and other bible literalists. How can this tree be older than the Earth?

Yes! Satan did it! The master of evil, the most treacherous tyrant in the history of the universe plants dinosaur bones and 13,000 year old trees--instead of doing something truly treacherous and evil such as detonating the world's stockpile of nukes. Logic--absent among those who believe in fairy tales.

It wasn't carbon dated. It was measured by *tree ring growth*. Explain that, YECs.

Also carbon dating is impossible to use on a million years. If you had the slightest clue what you were talking about, "not 2 B fooled," it might help.

Not all creationists believe in a 6,000 year young Earth. That's only a small minority of Christians who belive it.

Good LUck!

It was set in motion during the big bang right? Then the soils started to collect around its roots and thuse the earth was formed from cosmic dust particals conglomerating around the roots of this ancient tree better known as the tree of the knoledge good and evil. Graciously yours the manifestation of the spirit of sin:)

I am a Bible literalist. However, I am not a young earth creationist. Scripture says "With God a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day".

All they are gonna say is that the estimates are off, or that carbon dating is unreliable...

No need to look at any link that may have a computer virus or the like; it's the same with the "accuracy" of carbon dating...."We believe this piece of blah blah to be about 1 million years old, give or take a couple of hundreds of thousands of years....at least we think so" [ "quote" from some of the scientwists discussing their latest find ]

ITS A LIE PUT FORTH BY THE DEVIL!
