- blaze03, on 01/25/2008, -27/+145Not possible. The earth is only 6000 years old. God must have made it to LOOK like it's 100,000 years old.
- Berkana, on 01/25/2008, -6/+62Ugh. I can just hear China collectively saying "whose your daddy?" now.
- ThatGeek, on 01/25/2008, -29/+68its God testing our faith
/sarcasm - mal1964, on 01/25/2008, -8/+42It didn't look a day over 99,999
- dmoney22, on 01/25/2008, -3/+36"The oldest human fossil found in China so far was a tooth unearthed in 1965 in Yuanmou county in the southwestern province of Yunnan that dated back 1.7 million years, said Wu."
Wait, so this isn't really that big of a deal then. - inactive, on 01/25/2008, -21/+49But...that's before Jesus? wtf?
- hypnosmurf, on 01/25/2008, -6/+32I bet they grind it up and use it as an aphrodisiac
- Nosnevets02, on 01/25/2008, -4/+26Well, considering it was a HUMAN skull that was found on the earth that was 100,000 years old, i'd say your argument is retarded.
- zKman, on 01/25/2008, -6/+26God did it for the lulz
- schizerbone, on 01/25/2008, -12/+31Mike Huckabee doesn't think so...
- Nosnevets02, on 01/25/2008, -10/+28That skull was created before the earth and put there by god to test your faith.
- inactive, on 01/25/2008, -1/+18Where in Harry Potter does it say the Earth is only 6000 years old?
- fearlessfx, on 01/25/2008, -4/+21Yo, look up. There is a giant sarcasm bird flying over your head and it wants to ***** in your mouth.
- PabloMac, on 01/25/2008, -2/+18Dupe means duplicate.
- jkirk7msa, on 01/25/2008, -1/+14Did anyone catch the last sentence?
"The oldest human fossil found in China so far was a tooth unearthed in 1965 in Yuanmou county in the southwestern province of Yunnan that dated back 1.7 million years, said Wu."
WTF? A tooth... in 1965...? - sdcarter, on 01/25/2008, -2/+15After cannibalizing the Chinese man, leaving only his skull to be found, the killer was reported to have said "It's weird, an hour later and I was hungry again."
- fantasticFlan, on 01/25/2008, -1/+13Laws describe gravity, a theory attempts to explain gravity.
- drakethegreat, on 01/25/2008, -2/+14I have a source called observable fact that says you're a complete ***** moron.
- madtaco, on 01/25/2008, -1/+13That's what she said...
- coheedcollapse, on 01/25/2008, -2/+14I'm not an expert, you idiot. The experts who have studied and verified painstakingly the process and why it works are the experts. They don't need some idiot bible thumpers who think a campfire tale passed along for generations and finally written down trumps their years of scientific knowledge.
Of course I'm not the most knowledgeable person you can find about carbon dating, but at least I take the effort to learn about it. - otakushark, on 01/25/2008, -1/+12To use your same line of "reasoning", why, in 8,000 years of civilization, did we only have powered flight in the last 100 years?
- inactive, on 01/25/2008, -3/+14So in otherwords, the Bible is the result of a story going through the equivalent of google translate a couple dozen times
- Tarnum, on 01/25/2008, -3/+13That's what the hardline creationists believe in.
That's what some theologist said, long time ago. And that's what the Church agreed with. And they burned on the stake anyone who disagreed. - LucasKane, on 01/25/2008, -1/+11Dragons ruled the earth for 90,000 years
- Coinspinner, on 01/25/2008, -8/+18This was reported on a liberal website, so therefore the content can't be true.
- thebellmaster1x, on 01/25/2008, -1/+10Here's the funny part, DigitalAddict2: The half-life of carbon-14 is nearly 6000 years, so unless every piece of organic matter on the planet is highly radioactive, you're automatically wrong without us having to date a thing.
- CalvinLawson, on 01/25/2008, -1/+10I don't know; I've heard people say some weird ***** like this, and mean it.
- sgiffy, on 01/25/2008, -5/+14I am always excited by such discoveries, especially if they change our understanding of how things are. Thats the cool ass thing about science, its embraces challenge.
- coheedcollapse, on 01/25/2008, -6/+15Nah, Christians just scream over and over how carbon dating is always wrong and there are flaws in the system without actually knowing how it works. Trust me. My parents believe in that 5000 year old earth crap.
Also, my sister's textbook had a picture of a human riding a dinosaur in it. - Quakank, on 01/25/2008, -0/+9It IS a big deal. The "Yuanmou Man" consists of a couple teeth. You can learn a good bit from teeth, but not nearly as much as you could from a skull. Besides, this new skull is likely a different species. Whereas Yuanmou is ***** erectus, this one could actually be sapiens.
- neo912, on 01/25/2008, -11/+19This really is a cool discovery. And by the way anybody who thinks this earth is only 6000 years old is ignorant. I believe the bible but I also believe the Hebrew it was translated from. From what I understand what we translated as days means periods of time. We have no idea of the time line of the earth from the bible it was never meant for that purpose it was written to teach principles. All of these people that claim the earth is only 6000years old do not take into account 2 huge holes in the biblical time line. Adam and Eve could have taken millions of years to get kicked out and God's 7 days to create the earth may have been billions of years. None of these discoveries should shake anybodies faith. I believe in God but I also believe that my beliefs don't hinge on details like how old the earth is. I just think its cool the more we learn about this planet we are on.
- jonhinson, on 06/15/2009, -3/+11So is gravity.
- nullifidian0, on 01/25/2008, -0/+8I suggest you do yours. You should be talking about *radiometric* dating. Carbon isn't the only element used for chemical dating.
- OneLess, on 01/25/2008, -1/+9Actually, confusing "who's" and "whose" is a problem more often encountered by native speakers of English.
- otakushark, on 01/25/2008, -2/+10I don't know about those two, but Giuliani blamed it on 9/11.
- jmpeagle, on 01/25/2008, -3/+11you would think it would be implied. If I really believed that, I wouldn't be able to use a computer let alone the series of tubes that make up the internet.
- eschompthis, on 01/25/2008, -1/+9i hate to be a picture whore but damn man we live in 2008 give us a ***** picture of the skull
- segiterrus, on 01/25/2008, -4/+12finally, wait then theres more
- dhughes, on 01/25/2008, -1/+9 Obviously a 6,000 year-old man invented a time machine, went back in time, got stuck there and died.
- thebellmaster1x, on 01/25/2008, -4/+11Well, it's wrong, then, isn't it?
- ryan83189, on 01/25/2008, -1/+8finally, the information i need to finish my term paper on evolution.
- MacDevyn, on 01/25/2008, -2/+9Finally, i've been looking for that.
- sotopheavy, on 01/25/2008, -4/+11haha, he's testing us. oh noes!
- ApokalypseNow, on 01/25/2008, -0/+6Since when is a book of fairy tales considered "history"?
- lukak, on 01/25/2008, -5/+11exactly. It proves that the fundamentalist christians, just like the fundamentalist muslims or fundamentalist anyones are close minded and dangerous. For the mainstream christian community, it proves that the book is a story created to guide lives and not to be taken literally.
- SwankRock3000, on 01/25/2008, -13/+19These bones are obviously tests from the devil, as we all know the world was created by an invisible man in 6 days, and we're all descendants of a man and a man's rib that turned into a woman and talked to a snake.
Don't fall victim! - Nosnevets02, on 01/25/2008, -2/+8I was even willing to listen to your argument, but your link failed. But somehow, I don't think volcanic activity would knock off 94,000 years.
But hey, maybe I'm an idiot. - josh1413, on 01/25/2008, -5/+11Wow, I'm not the only Christian stating those same things............
- vornan19, on 01/25/2008, -0/+6Uhmm, It is a oral history thing. See, Christianity came from Judaism, which was passed along by word, then written, then translated by the Greeks, then burned in the library of Alexandria but by then it had been exported.
Or something like that. -
