Radiocarbon (carbon-14) is a very unstable element that quickly changes into nitrogen. Half the original quantity of carbon-14 will decay back to the stable element nitrogen-14 after only 5,730 years. (This 5,730-year period is called the half-life of radiocarbon) At this decay rate, hardly any carbon-14 atoms will remain after only 57,300 years (or ten half-lives).
So if fossils are really millions of years old, as evolutionary scientists claim, no carbon-14 atoms would be left in them. Indeed, if all the atoms making up the entire earth were radiocarbon, then after only 1 million years absolutely no carbon-14 atoms should be left!

I agree with absolute faith in everything out Lord says. I even think that we must do everything we can to understand all that scripture tells us about God.
Many of our convictions are used to sin. We sometimes use our interpretations of scriptures to judge others when God doesn't tell us for certain about something. God does talk of things He did in seven days but the point God is making is far more important than the number of hours God took for something important. God is not teaching how to count time in a physical way, that is beside the point.
But when men go to such extremes that they say "God clearly says" about things that God does NOT clearly say, then fight about it, it is not of God at all. God clearly says that He created the world, but God does not clearly say that He took a precise number of days from beginning to end. He says that he created it "In the beginning", not what not the precise year that beginning was. We can wonder about it, but we may not judge those who God loves to judge over our personal interpret of God's word. Those ideas lead to sin and away from truth when God's truth is so important to us.

By what criteria and authority do you determine what is from God and what is from men? If we accept your argument that the Bible is in error about creation in Genesis One, and that the Bible is filled with myths and errors, why should anyone accept your claim that the Bible is correct about Christ? What if the Bible is wrong about Christ as well? Since you use the claims of the modern scientific establishment to impugn Genesis, to be consistent, you must then also apply the same authority structure in your critique of the Gospel accounts. Surely these same scientists will deny the virgin birth, the resurrection, the miracles of Christ, the exorcism of demons, and so forth. What “Christ” does that leave you with? Certainly not the exalted Son of God found in the New Testament.
Your argument also assumes that present natural phenomenon in the observable present day can be extrapolated into the distant past. This is another unprovable philosophical assumption: the assumption of uniformitarianism. This is “the idea that the processes we see at work now in the universe were always at work at the same rate in the same way,” The assumption of uniformitarianism is fraught with numerous insuperable difficulties. One problem is that it is unprovable, since the distant past is beyond scientific observation. It also precludes against miracles, catastrophism and God Himself.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth in 6 24 hour days. Contrary to what some people believe, there is absolutely no scientific evidence that proves the earth is older than what the bible says. If each of those 6 days of creation actually took millions of years of time then that means on the seventh day God rested for millions of years, and when He gave the law to Moses and told them to keep the Sabbath as a day of rest he was telling them to rest for millions of years. So you see, contrary to what some believe, you can't really believe in both evolution and creation, or that God created the world by the process of evolution. Because the 2 just don't jive or agree together.
Evolution is the big lie latched onto by people who reject the truth.
1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:(God's creation, itself, is proof of His existence as the divine designer and creator of the universe)
1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,(These lying scientists who think they're so smart and wise and educated are actually mentally retarded morons in God's eyes. A lot of them know that there is no evidence for their idiotic theories but they continually lie to themselves and the world because they don't want to acknowledge God in their education)
1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge(Education), God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Because they were already rebellious toward God in their hearts and had rejected the truth of God, they immediately latched onto the strong delusion and lie of evolution the second it was put forth by Charles Darwin. Yep, Charlie definitely made monkeys out of those wicked, truth rejecting morons.
1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
The power and majesty of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is the Truth and righteousness of God, whereas, the theory of evolution is the cunningly devised fable that people latch onto because they don't want to believe in God and acknowledge the Truth.
3:5 For this they willingly(Choose to be) are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
People who believe in evolution can't really believe in the flood of Noah either. Because a lot of the things that they use to try to prove their idiotic theories, such as seashells being found on top of mountains, the grand canyon and other natural phenomena, the petrified fossils, the fossilized remains of different kinds of animals found in one place, etc., etc., can all just as easily be explained by the flood of Noah. But they willingly choose to refuse to acknowledge that fact. They say they found whole Mammoths with food still in their mouths frozen in Siberia. Then they theorize that this happened through a million year process they call the ice age. Of course any clear thinking person can see how ridiculous that is. So the Mammoth was standing there there chewing on food for a million years while the ice slowly came down from to north til it engulfed him? Only idiots and morons would believe that crap. The only way that could have happened was if the mammoth froze instantly, which is what happened at the flood of Noah. Before the flood there was a covering of water above the atmosphere which filtered out the cosmic rays from the sun which also caused the temperature of the earth to be the same all around the world. I would imagine it was probably an ideal temp. of 70-75 degrees. This is also the reason why people lived to be 800-900 years old before the flood, instead of the 80-90 years that they live today. And science has proven that the cosmic rays from the sun are what cause aging. Well, at the time of the flood all that water came tumbling down out of the sky which also let in the cosmic rays from the sun which caused the temperatures at both poles to immediately drop from 70 degrees to well below 0 which is what also caused the climate change which we are still dealing with today.

Thank you for agreeing I did a 'fine' job. Rather than focus on 'copy & paste' why not give your opinion on what was 'copy & pasted'? As to my using the word "catastrophism ( 'the theory that changes in the earth's crust during geological history have resulted chiefly from sudden violent and unusual events'). Not everyone is inferior to you as you seem to infer on some of your post.
You're good at asking question's. Here's one for you. Give me your thoughts on why you assume that present natural phenomenon in the observable present day can be extrapolated into the distant past?
Please use correct spelling (as you have chastised others for not doing) and try and refrain from being hateful or name calling.
I'll be watching for any thoughts or words that may be the results of your 'copying & pasting'.

No such verse, and you know it, but if you add the years together you can get to the end of Solomon's reign pretty easily at approximately 3190. But it gets a little more complicated after that with the two kingdoms. You can reasonably get to approximately 4000 to 4200. Honestly, I am more skeptical about our (man's) record keeping since the "1st Century" than I am about the 4,000-4,200 years before the first century. According to the Gregorian Calendar we are at 6014-6214 (after adding the previous numbers), but the Hebrew Calendar is 5775. But if you subtract 2014 from 5775, you get 3761, which seems highly improbable. So one or both calendars are off somewhere (or I am).
I will agree with you PARTIALLY. Because the Bible does say that the earth was here before Day 1. But it also strongly suggests that the earth was completely covered in water. It does not get into any prior events. But I will not agree with any evolution bologna. As I find it absurd and full of agenda. I personally believe that the scientific world would have already scrapped it if there was a "better" explanation - Other than God.

What was copy and pasted is crap from one of your YEC crap websites.
I told you before about this copy and paste business, and so did others, even ones who agree with your nonsense.
What you are doing is generally a copyright violation.
And you don't even give an attribution or anything. You try to pass it off as your own thoughts.
Do you know what that makes you?

We may not in our lifetimes discover exactly how God created the heavens or the earth, or how old they are, but it is also the case that if we are not faithful to His Word we may never find the truth we seek.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:11)
