Dwise 1, a zygote, barely two days old, would know that Revelation was written before the Holy Roman Empire came on the scene. Yes, it should be glaringly obvious to anyone with at least two neurons to rub togethter.
So why didn't YOU know that? blah blah blah religious nonsense blah blah blah No wonder your brain is broken. You keep clogging it up with such BS nonsense.
You have done nothing to disprove that Radiocarbon Dating is flawed. Do you think that radiocarbon dating is flawed? Then why don't you present those flaws? You have not done that yet that I can tell. Why not? Besides your lie that you do understand radiocarbon dating (which you very obviously did not and undoubtedly still do not), all you mentioned was finding trace amounts of C14 in coal and in diamonds where they had been created recently from nearby radiation sources deep underground. Those trace amounts have nothing whatsoever to do with radiocarbon dating! I will explain it to you YET AGAIN (which you wlll yet again ignore whining that your phone screen is too small (So read it on your computer, idiot!))
The only C14 that plays any role in radiocarbon dating is the C14 that has been incorporated into plant tissue, from which it can pass to animal tissue through the eating of the plants or of the plant-eaters. That means that the only C14 in radiocarbon dating is atmospheric C14, not subterranean C14. If you honestly and truly (two words foreign to creationists) believe that enough of those subterranean traces of C14 are getting into the plants and hence into the food chain, then tell us how! That should be as glaringly obvious as Revelation having been written long before the Holy Roman Empire ever existed. Especially to anyone who actually does know something about radiocarbon dating, which you just as glaringly obviously do not! If you know of any actual flaws in radiocarbon dating, then present them and we can discuss them (assuming you don't stay true to your MO and run away from it). So what's keeping you back?
Nor have you posted anything that cast doubt on Creation. Of course not, because that has never been my intent! Not even once in the four decades that I've been studying "creation science" (AKA creationism, not to be confused with belief in actual Creation). Rather, I oppose "creation science" for being nothing but a pack of lies which has led believers to lose their faith. And I don't have to cast doubt on it because just exposing its lies should be enough if creationists were honest or the least bit interested in the truth (which sadly they are not, but rather go ever deeper into denial and self-delusion). Rather, it is creationism that works to cast doubt on Creation. Creationism, and especially YEC, denies the Creation in all of its claims and even teaches that if the Creation is actually as we find it, then that somehow disproves God. Basically, that's spiritual suicide that you are promoting and many have taken that bullet. But in addition, creationism and its glaringly false claims make Christianity look stupid, so much so that it drives many away from ever even beginning to consider becoming a Christian. By destroying its followers' faith and warning other away from converting, creationism does truly contribute to the growth and spread of atheism. You're doing a good job of it!
In fact, you have increased my belief in God and Creation. Yep, burrowing even deeper into denial and self-delusion in a desperate attempt to hide from the truth.

The Books of Daniel and Revelation support each other. Both Books tell of past and future events. Fiction.
You have done nothing to disprove that Radiocarbon Dating is flawed. You have not presented a shred of evidence that radio dating is flawed.
Nor have you posted anything that cast doubt on Creation. And you have presented no evidence supporting it. Nothing but fiction and fairy tales.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

Nor have you posted anything that cast doubt on Creation. We don't have a creation. You do. You have to do the proving else we can all laugh at you and call you insulting things like "religionist" and "goatherder myths psycho" and like that.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

Theodoric, there are multiple dozens of countries that
have names for the seventh day that are associated with the Sabbath. Here are just a few: Italian-SabatoIndonesian-Sabutu Russian-Subbota Spanish-Sabado Armenia-Shabat There is such connection to Sunday. Some say that the identity of the original Seventh Daywas lost, but there is no proof of this. In any case, I don't buy that for a second. For the sake of argument, let's assume that the dayshad become confused. The 40 years (2180 Sabbaths) that God had Israel inthe wilderness would have straightened that out. The 7th Day for ancient Rome was called Saturn's Day.This was the same as Saturday for the Jews. Cassius Dio - Roman History 37. 16. 1-4 States that theJews would do no work on Saturn day. I/ was their Sabbath Day. Rome would use these Saturn Days to batter down thewalls protecting the Jews. In 70 A.D., Vespasian employed the same techniqueof attacking Judea on Saturn Day. The Apostles were certain of the Sabbath Day. And, theyrecorded in their Biblical books. The modern Greek word for the 7th Day is Sabbato. The Julian Calendar was in use from 46 B.C. till A.D.1582. On Thursday, October 4, 1582 the switch was made to theGregory's Calendar (Thursday was the 5th day of the week). The Gregorian Calendar jumped from Thursday the 4thto Friday the 15th. As always the day following Thursday was Friday. The Jews list their days by names, not numbers. Thisprevents any confusion. God gave Israel His Calendar. His days would begin inthe evening, at the going down of the sun. His Sabbath began at the going down of the sun onFriday till the going down of the sun on Saturday. At this time the 1st day of the week (Sunday) began. The Julian and Gregorian calendars, named respectivelyfor a Roman Emperor and a Catholic Pope, had days that began/begins at midnight. The beast and image of the beast (who think to changetimes and laws) moved the 7th Day Sabbath to the 1st day-Sunday. Many saints were put to death for not accepting theidentifying mark of the beast. This will happen again. When the Holy Roman Empire again comes into world-wide power, they will force their own times and laws on everyone. The world will actually worship the beast and its image. Anyone not observing Sunday and working on the trueSabbath will be turned in to the authorities. God said that the Sabbath was a sign between Him andIsrael forever. It is perpetual. The Jews have kept the sign that identifies them as such. The other tribes if Israel have deserted the very sign thatidentifies them as Israel. However, their identities have been uncovered.

Tanyptery, we all know the limits and inaccuracies of
dating. Basic assumptions used in dating methods areare just that, assumptions. Wrong assumptions lead to unreliable data. Don't pretend that you don't know about the unreliabilityof dating methods. I know, beyond any doubt, that you and all evolutionistshave these huge doubts. If a dating technique is found to be wrong just once, noneof the results can be trusted. You know this, and I know this. And, you know that Iknow this.

Irrelevant.
None of what you said here supports your original claim. waxydude writes:
Again, I state. The Jews have records that show which day Christkept. Source and evidence, please. There is no mention of Jesus by Jews until hundreds of years after the myth started. What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Source and data to support these claims.
Just asserting something does not make it true or correct. See the Hitchens quote below. Edited by Theodoric, : Added more What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

Tanypteryx we all know the limits and inaccuracies of dating. No, you don't! If you knew anything about radio dating you would present it.
Basic assumptions used in dating methods are are just that, assumptions. Wrong assumptions lead to unreliable data. Basic assumptions regarding radio dating are based on mountains of evidence. You have not presented any wrong assumption. If there are any you would present them.
I know, beyond any doubt, that you and all evolutionists have these huge doubts. We do. We have these huge doubts that you will ever present a single shred of evidence. You are trying to jam a silly, fictional, fairy tale into reality, but it's fiction. Multiple different dating methods ALL show that the Earth is billions of years old, and life is too. We have evidence, you have fiction.
If a dating technique is found to be wrong just once, none of the results can be trusted. You know this, and I know this. And, you know that I know this. Yep, and I know you have no evidence that the radio dating methods are wrong and you know that YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE. We also all know that you have absolutely no knowledge about radio dating whatsoever.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

That's not just a wild guess. It's a well-established fact. It is important to keep it in mind when we launch a satellite but it is NOT in doubt.

Don't be silly. You don't use that standard for anything else. Have you ever heard what the carpenters say? "Measure twice, cut once." They measure twice because ANY measurement can be wrong. They measure twice to make sure there was no mistake in the first measurement. You don't hear a carpenter say, "I'm sorry, we can't build your house because the measurements are unreliable." If a dating technique is found to be wrong just once, noneof the results can be trusted. And radiometric dating is also done repeatedly on multiple samples for the same reason."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

Theodoric, there are multiple dozens of countries that have names for the seventh day that are associated with the Sabbath. Here are just a few: Italian-Sabato Indonesian-Sabutu Russian-Subbota Spanish-Sabado Armenia-Shabat There is such connection to Sunday. That last line is puzzling. Are you saying that there is that kind of connect to Sunday? So why don't you tell us what that connection is? Or was that a typo that left out the word "no" and you actually meant to say, "There is no such connection to Sunday." I find that more likely since it at least makes sense as English whereas what you had posted just sounds weird. In that case, then you are most definitely wrong:
In most Germanic languages, Sunday is the day of the sun, which is to say the Sun God (in general, the days of the week are named for pagan gods as they also are in Romance languages. Indeed, city clocks would display the day of the week with an image of that day's god (eg, the Gros Horloge in Rouen, France). So what are you talking about?
{ stream of irrelevant nonsense "addressing" an "issue" that nobody raised }
The Jews list their days by names, not numbers. This prevents any confusion. Absolutely wrong. The names of the days of the week in Hebrew (transliterated):
Sunday -- Yom Rishon = "First Day" Monday -- Yom Sheni = "Second Day" Tuesday -- Yom Shelishi = "Third Day" Wednesday -- Yom Revi'i = "Fourth Day" Thursday -- Yom Khamishi = "Fifth Day" Friday -- Yom Shishi = "Sixth Day" Saturday -- Yom Shabbath = "Sabbath Day" The days of the week in Greek are also numbered, except for the first day, Sunday, which is Κυριακη from Κυριος ("Lord").
When the Holy Roman Empire again comes into world- wide power, they will force their own times and laws on everyone. What the hell are you talking about? That is complete and utter nonsense! The Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist 6 August 1806 when it was dissolved by Holy Roman Emperor Francis II. Austria was at war with Napoleon and was certain to lose, so Francis II, not wanting Napoleon to be Holy Roman Emperor, dissolved the empire and abdicated. The Holy Roman Empire is history and will not come back. Its former lands are now part of well-established countries including Germany and Italy. It's never going to come back. But yet again, what are you talking about? And do you have anything to contribute that isn't utter nonsense?

{ typical creationist BS lies about radiometric dating methods } You know this, and I know this. And, you know that I know this. Yes, we do know about radiometric dating methods, but you do not! How do we know that you don't know what you're talking about? Because we have seen you repeatedly post utter nonsense on the subject.
IF YOU HAVE A CLAIM TO MAKE, THEN MAKE IT! If you know of any actual flaws, then present them and include the reasoning behind presenting them as flaws. IOW, you need to demonstrate enough knowledge of those "flaws" to be able to discuss them and to support your contention that they present some kind of problem. IOW, stop playing your game of the willfully ignorant (your handlers) leading the willfully stupid (you).

Don't pretend that you don't know about the unreliability of dating methods. If you misuse them they can be very unreliable. Like using your car odometer to measure your drapes. That's the kind of "unreliable" you're talking about. So what flaws in dating methods can you show? Be specific in details because, being in his house, you know where the devil is.
You know this, and I know this. And, you know that I know this. What we know is that you're a freaking religious nutjob. Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

Theodoric, sure it does.
Peter, John, Paul, James, Mark, Matthew, and theother writers of the New Testament were all Jews. I proved to you that Saturday is the Sabbath. You justdon't like being presented with the facts. Funny, evolutionists are like that.
