No, for a couple of reasons. One reason is that there are different opinions about how the first two verses of the Bible should be understood. Some theologians say that the first verse...
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
is separated by the events in the second verse by a period of time when mankind had yet to be created and Satan was ruling over the earth. When Satan rebelled and God's wrath came then...
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And that's when mankind and the current life forms were put on this planet.
Even if that's not true if you examine the presuppositions that scientists bring to their dating methods they show that these methods are entirely theoretical to begin with. For instance when Mt St Helens blew up in four hours earth sediment layers were formed that scientists had before claimed took millions of years to come into existence. So a world wide catastrophic event like a flood where the underground water came spewing up all over the earth could easily have created layers just like the ones around Mt St Helens.
Also there are different dating methods based upon elements that are supposed to have a constant decay rate by which scientists estimate that rocks are millions or billions of years old. However when other elemets are used in dating diamonds for example there exists traces of an element that by scientific standards should have been completely gone unless the diamonds were between 4 to 6 thousand years old.
Add to that the fact that evolution has been proved to be statistically impossible and creationism is still very much in the running when compared to scientific data. Mathemeticians have created equations where mutations occurred every second that the earth has thought to have been in existence and there hasn't been near enough time for all of the millions of life forms that are here now and those that have become extinct to have come about by random chance. Scientists say that if the odds of something fall into the range of 10 to the 50th power then they consider it to be a statistical impossiblity. The equations which were used to calculate the odds of evolution even though they were calculated with the most favorable variables fall into the range of 10 to the 250th power.

Fundamentalist Christians already blindly deny scientific evidence that earth is over 4,500,000,000 years old, so they'll just deny this blindly too. Bishop Ussher found from his Bible study that creation was in 4004 BC. How naive can one be? This doesn't begin to account for all of the fossil evidence. People knew much less about everything when Genesis was written, and Ussher knew little if any more than Moses who is said to've written the first books of the Bible. It is amazing that many people today don't know about or refuse to see scientific discoveries that disprove their naive myths. America will fall far behind the rest of the world if ignoramuses have their way.

I don't know. But if they ever find a 4 million year old Star of David, how will you feel!
Oh, and by the way, the Scientists admit that the Bloods Lines lived together at the same time. Homo Erectus (as all girls know, that's us) and what ever was before it. Homo Lepithucs or whatever. They lived at the same time.
So, all it proves is that We religious people came from God and you other guys, well. If the shoe fits.
But we all lived together.
God told us about this. He told us about "giants" living IN the Earth. Must be Cavemen.
Gee, you eventually caught up with us with your evolution. We, of course, have been this way since Creation.

now wait a minute, did the carbon date the bones or the soil around it? the dust of the earth existed before it was even formed into a planet and carried in Christs basket. If they did the same technique with a person who had been dead for 30 minutes they could come to the conclusion that that person existed 2.5 million years ago. Wake up to the truth my friend. it just didn't happen that way.

How can you be sure about the age? What kind of references can one take to decide if it is older than 10000 years or not? What precise measuring equipment does one have to be absolutely certain that something is a certain age? I have always been told in school that birds were coming from dinosaurs, hmmmm, but now I am told that they found a bird that is older than the first dinosaur ever... hmmm... so what was first the egg ot the hen? if you know, tell me.

No. No one can predict how old any article is, even scientifically, for that length of time. Each day of creation is approximately one thousand years of our time. I would rather be wrong on God's side than the other way around.

No!!!! It's all lies!!! LIES!!! Satan constructed the skull from the penis bones of Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster and used the severed heads of the Roswell Space Aliens as a model!!!

Funny what they said about how she died:
"The state of the ancient bones suggest she was buried in a flood which may also have caused her death."
That's a direct quote!!! I think I remember something in the Bible about a flood that killed lots of people... maybe they secretly believe in creation after all...

No, why would it? Finding out that people existed that long ago would only strengthen my faith that God created us...seems to me it sort of cancels out "evolution", at least as it has been explained to me.
Hmmm.....
I, too, find it interesting that this person died in a flood.
