I wondered for years how creationists rubbished carbon dating. It's easy, you just say 'just because it decays at this rate now doesn't mean it always did, rate of radioactive decay changed at Noah’s flood,' quoted from John Mackay ex-answers in genesis, now creation research.
How else do creationists dismiss radio carbon dating? do they use science or just dismiss it cos it aint biblical?
I know how they rubbish evolution - they make up lies about what scientists say.

Carbon dating is a deception Satan uses to trick people into loosing faith in the One True Word of god.

Wow loved the "Satan" defence ... an almost prefect response requiring no proof or even discussion.
In response I have to say that radio carbon dating is true because a little blue pixie said so and he has never been wrong ... if you disagree then please quote examples and prove he doesn't exist.
Now seriously ...
I doubt that there are many folks who really believe the absolute timeline of the bible - I am not religious in any way but I don't see how science is incompatible with the SPIRIT of the Bible ... go along with the tune not the lyrics.

Radios and Carbon cant date. That would involve interspecies copulation that could result in freaky walkie talkie charcoal combinations. Makes me shudder. It's like saying a goldfish can date a carrot. Scarry!!!!!
If it was carbon in the form of diamonds, that could possibly date the high end of the hands free mobile phone kit to create a bling appeal.
As for the science, I don't know really. I believe what I believe and nothings gonna change that. If all things could be answered there would be no faith, no debate, no discussion and the world would be a duller place. So go creationists, go scientists, argue away me hearties!!!

It's just like advertising washing powder or soap. If you say yours is the one that cleans best, over and over and over; people start to believe it. There are other factors, if you can get someone in authority to say your washing powder or soap is whiter than white; they are going to believe the Queen or whoever. That is why celebrities are used for advertising. The Queen is saved for plugging more important stuff than soap and washing powder. She is the defender of the faith and plugs religion, Great Britain and the Commonwealth and the age old tradition of making people believe aristocrats are "better" than commoners. I do not mean any offence to my aristocratic friends, by that last sentence.

By believing in this nonsense, they can convince themselves that up is down.
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
(NOT A VIRGIN BIRTH! - betcha)
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Gods do not die? Do they?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us? Big deal!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
If you swallow this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to swallow it too.
They want everyone to convert to their non-thinking.

I think alot of effort has been put into the Intelligent Design approach.
It seeks not to contradict science but claim the credit for it.
