You got me.
I was just spinning a example off the top of my head. And I am aware that the Shroud of Turin isn't actually 2000 years old.

Yeah I figured you were being sarcastic. I doubt it is 2000 years old too. I, personally, do not think it has anything to do with Jesus.

You got proof of this? reason i am asking is a paleobotanist is renting my flat out who swears by carbon dating (used along with other geological dating used by paleontologists).

As Adrian said, radiometric dating, not carbon dating.
"Carbon dating" has become a term for any method of dating old stuff anymore, but actual carbon dating doesent do that well.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I think the term "carbon dating" is stuck, though as you say it is wrong

Its quite easy to find by querying Google for carbon's half life.

This isn't to say Carbon Dating is unreliable, but it does demonstrate its limits.

I agree somewhat. Not all science has something to do with other science. Such as the science used to prove the big bang or evolution may not be the same science used to make a car or computer.
If someone can point out where the same science is used it would be helpful if you could point it out.

That's a little different, since animals exist.

You don't think there might be a little physics or biology in cars and computers? Nothing to do with engine efficiency, fuel source, pcb manufacturing, etc?

While you're at it the group Boko Haram (which means western education is bad http://www.multidox.net/cgi-bin/page.pl?...y&bn=1&m=4) needs to deny modern communication devices, vehicles, weapons and medicine. If they want to live what they believe they need to go it the whole way. Lay down your bombs and guns and pick up your blood letting utensils.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
