A really hard question on Satan and deception.

As to radiometric dating,

But apart from that, how do you explain plate tectonics, coral reefs, the size of the observable universe, the evidence of molecular genetics, the absence of geology compatible with the flood etc,etc,etc

Well, I'll get to some of that, lets try this one thing at a time. C-14 wasn't the only dating method referred to in the quotes. The fact is, c-14 dating is only accurate out to about 50,000 years. Creationists and Evolutionists agree that C-14 is useless for determining ages of millions or billions of years. Yet funnily enough, we find viable C-14 in diamonds, fossils and coal that is supposed to be millions of years old. In every case it has been claimed that the samples have been contaminated.

There are just huge discrepencies. A creation scientist submitted bones from an allosaurus without telling the laboratory what it was and it came back with an age of 10,000 to 16,000 years. The RATE project does this all the time and frequently gets ages of billions and millions of years for things which are hundreds of years old.
