A bit of a nit pick here. People often say "carbon dating" when they mean radiometric dating. Carbon dating is very limited. It is only useful for items that are rather young, though still older then the YEC's believe. Carbon dating is the dating of objects with C14 in them. And due to C14's relatively short half life it is limited to about 50,000 years. Our Earth is 4.5 billion years old.Huh? What about carbon dating?
In any case, young earth, old earth .. who cares?
We live in the present moment, and what we do now affects everyone.
The planet is facing a catastrophe of a vast proportion .. and you want to argue about how long the planet has existed?
The term you want to use is radiometric dating. That includes all dating using radioactive isotopes. C14 is for the very young ones. For the Earth we need elements with much longer half lives, such as Uranium, Ar40 (Argon with a nuclear weight of 40), Rb87, Samarium and others. When it is a very unknown sample it is nice to have more than one method to confirm a date since different "clocks" run at different rates the same date from two different elements tells us that it is probably accurate.

If satan has not played with samples.

So now Satan has the power of creation? Why would God do that? Your version of God is omnipotent and omniscient. That means that Satan's lies are his lies.

The researchers have found over 1000 gods and goddess in the world. And atheists insist that there is only one of them?

It might be all "smoke and mirrors".
I most certainly care about the planet that our grandchildren inherit !

It is physically impossible to see the big bang, no matter how strong of a telescope you use. Because there was no light. This first came later, which is what the cosmic radiation background image is all about. So in a sense, you are correct, but the OP is definitely not. And knowing who Kent Hovind is, I don't even bother checking what nonsense he is talking about, because there is a 100% chance that he either misunderstood or are misrepresented something.

What? No, Christians insist that there is only one. So do a few others. But of course they are all different gods. Atheists believe in none of them.

No, they really aren't.
The Creator and Maintainer of the universe is One God.
There are many creeds, yes.

No, they really are different. Quob is different from Allah who is different from God who is different from Krishna. They may have similarities, but they are different myths.

Why myth? Is it Science talking or a former Christian?

Odds are immense that they are. Look at how many gods man has invented. Who has the gall to claim that their god is the only one when they have no evidence? In fact there is evidence against quite a few gods and no reliable evidence for any of them. The most likely answer appears that they are all wrong, therefore justifying the "myth" claim.

That really isn't worth answering..
"Quob" has no revelations, and is not Divine, for starters.

A "myth" can be true or false..
Mankind's relatively recent history has a lot of written evidence of the existence of Jesus and Muhammad, peace be with them.
Your soul might not want to acknowledge their integrity, or the integrity of the evidence, but that is another matter.

Friend, tell me examples. What idol has been debunked and by what peer-reviewed paper? The idol can be debunked because it is "god of falsehood" -- "false god".
