If C-14 dating supports evolutionary theories then we put it in main text. If C-14 doesn't entirely disagree with evolutionary teachings we put it in a footnote. If C-14 is completely out of date compared to evolutioanry teachings then we just drop it. (Not very scientific, is it?).

C-14 referes to a specific carbon isotope test (molecular weight 14). Scientists use it to date stuff. Its not too exact and it does not assumethat the substance could have been subjected to forces generated by a creator God, a Flood, etc.

>>>>>In the Proceedings of the Symposium on Radiocarbon
Variations and Absolute Chronology held at Uppsala
in 1969, T. Säve-Söderbergh and I. U. Olsson introduce
their report with these words:

"C-14 dating was being discussed at a symposium on the
prehistory of the Nile Valley. A famous American
colleague, Professor Brew, briefly summarized a common
attitude among archaeologists towards it, as
follows: If a C-14 date supports our theories, we put
it in the main text. If it does not entirely contradict
them, we put it in a footnote. And if it is
completely out of date we just drop it. Few
archaeologists who have concerned themselves with
absolute chronology are innocent of having
sometimes applied this method. . ."(11)<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
