Are we going with DNA as also being unreliable if we are going to say Carbon Dating is not reliable?

Carbon Dating is only as good as the calibration used.

For the umpteenth time, the Bible does NOT say the earth or the universe are 6,000 years old. Genesis 1:1 could be 13.8 billion and accomplished by a big bang - no problem. Genesis 1:3 starts the 6,000 or so years, and that is scientifically supportable - nothing that science can measure or prove to counter it.

But you all keep believing what you want the rest of us will move on and you will all slowly die off and be replaced. But do us all a favor, get cremated and don't waste space in a cemetery - the resurrection is the biggest farce ever. The idea of it has certainly created a lot of wealth for the churches though.
