"If aliens were found , I would seriously question my belief . Besides , carbon dating is generally accurate on rocks up to the Flood , about 4,500 years ago , and can prove the age of the Earth ( and in that , the age of the universe ) to be over 3,000 years old ."
"I 'm surprised your belief rests on such a fragile concept .... for me that would be like the sword of Damocles forever hanging over my faith . A couple of technical points : there are no rocks that contain organic matter and are 4500 years old . Compacted sediments maybe . Also , where do you get the idea that carbon 14 dating is only accurate to 4500 years old ?"
