Seems so far everyone's answering my question about evolution by saying they don't understand how dating works. Here's a link http://www.actionbioscience.org/evolution/benton.html.
You can read and learn, or continue being ignorant. But if you don't understand then why do you argue?

i TOTALLY agree. people say things about the Quran, for example, and make assumptions, but if you don''t understand it and haven't read what is before and after the verse, how can you say anything about it? see, i don't know anything about evolution, so i can't argue with you. besides, i'm a muslim, so why would i trash your beliefs? anyway, i'm willing to learn, but i won't change my beliefs.

I clicked on your link because I am one that is willing to be open minded and try to learn almost anything before I speak and I have had to rescind some things that I have said in the past. I will always be one that will apologize first if I think I am in the wrong or might be, but here is what I got when I clicked on your link you said that I am suppose to learn from:

ok ill bite
ooops, bad link, please evolve it to a better link,
while I see no reason to argue our current methods of 'dating', I still can not understand why evolutionists can not distinguish evolution-life from non-life, and evolution- the observation of the adaption of already living life forms.
These are two entirely distinctly different concepts.
I agree totally that life 'evolves' in that existing lifeforms adapt to changing environmental conditions, but these observations do not ever include a single example of a lifeform that came from nonliving material.
Can you at least see my problem? without being mean?

Intuition tells people a lot of things. Rationality does not rule the world...and thankfully so.
There's a point where we begin to see the irrationality of rationality...everything becomes overly mechanical and inhuman.
...that said, rational debate is awesome...but forgiveness...although often irrational, is awesomer.
people respond better to love than to rationality pretty much all the time.

Knowledge is the enemy of religion. If you get a "blind" follower of religion to learn something like carbon dating, for example, then you will have won.
And you see, in their eyes, it's not about who's actually right or wrong. It's about who wins. That's why they have no interest in the truth. The truth is, their religion is false. And they are either willing to accept that reality, or simply pretend it doesn't exist.

Its the same everywhere.
People are afraid of what they don't know.
which is the main cause for hate, if you don't understand something you just shut it out!
People are ignorant to alot of things. Sadly its just a part of life.

By the same token, I wonder why you insist upon argueing an admitted scientific unproven theory.
If you want to argue, pick a subject that you can prove

Then I guess I'd rather continue being "ignorant" than reading that crap
