If carbon dating confirmed something they may believe in from the bible they would hold that up like a super scientific marvel. If it goes against the bible, their denial Shields go up and they cant understand and fight it.

Nice avatar.
Carbon dating is a science and if you've already rejected science then you aren't ever going to care about it.

The fact that you think that you can prove any thing to anyone is incompetent within itself. YOU ARE A SINNER. Get it?

How can we Christians prove to you that it doesn't? I don't think you want to believe the truth even though our evidence outweighs yours.
