I find it ironic that you claim to be clearing up misconceptions, but are laboring under misconceptions yourself. C14 is
not used to date fossils - it simply cannot be used to date anything over 50,000 years old.
The earth's magnetic field fluctuates, decreases, increases, disappears, and even reappears. That it is decreasing now proves nothing about the age of the earth. It's like looking at the tide going out and concluding that a few months in the past the entire world was underwater.
No one knows what "caused" Big Bang. Maybe it wasn't caused. But, considering that this was the beginning of time as well, the concept of "cause" becomes very slippery (since there wasn't a moment of time when there was no universe!)
We see macroevolution in the fossil record; we see macroevolution in genomes of the species; we can see macroevolution in embryology; we can see "microevolution" happening and extrapolate.
Sorry if the "philosophy" crack stung - what I meant was that the arguments you presented in your post have been heard, and refuted, a million times already.
