        Disproving creationism is easy, my point was disproving creationism does not, ergo, prove evolution.
        One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

          Ergo, read my post correcting myself.

            I dont believe in evolution any more than I believe in creation.

              If you want to do that there are much better things than C-14, which only prove the world is at least a few tens of thousands of years old. Look at stars that are billions of years old.

                Or Ice core drilling. It goes back millions and millions of years. But you are right, the stars is a good way to make creationists look quite foolish.

                  I know.

                  I wasn't the one that suggested it, I was just commenting about what you couldn't prove with it.

                    Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

                        I believe the Earth is only ~25 (cosmic) years old.

                          Carbon dating, ice core samples... All those come back to an omnipotent being for a young earth creationist. God pushed the 'fast forward' button on his creation remote up until Adam and Eve...
