General, your enthusiasm is commendable. This is a tough web sight as I am discovering, and also my first and only experience in a forum. For the most part it is well managed. There are some helpful people. But you, as myself, must do much more research. Others on the site condemn quickly. At times it appears that thier research is also lacking.
I believe in creation. But in my search to discover accuracy of
c-14, I find the creation sites emotional and lacking content -- for the most part. Also another thread discussed (although it wasn't dedicated to) the earth's age from the viewpoint of various creation believers. We don't all reach the same conclusions.
Also the critisism that you have recieved that c-14 is not designed to date the earth is correct. C-14, as you know is for things once alive. The real issue that can be challegning to any creation believer is c-14 in relation to the age of human fossils. Good luck in your quest. And remember that we don't have God in a box. Many things we don't know. Don't be suprised if you're viewpoint is at least slightly modified over time.
