Carbon dating is a science, not a religion. Just like the rate of gravity is not based on the Koran, or Bible or Torah. Just like thermodynamics isn't based on Buddha or Vishnu. 

And to claim it carbon dating is not accurate is dishonest. When done correctly it is very accurate.

We know the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years old. You could argue a few hundred thousand years either way, but in cosmic time measurements it would be like hitting a dart board on the rim from 5 football field lengths away. Carbon dating wont give you the exact day and month and year, but it can give you the era within decades and century. 

Carbon dating along with geology and even astrophysics combined give us a very accurate age of our planet being 4 billion years old. 

And again, you keep ignoring that I keep telling you that EVERY religion in the world, has followers that try to retrofit modern science to old mythology. It does not work when anyone tries it.

I had low expectations based on the OP, but this thread is so far off track it needs off-road tires.

Depends, but..broadly, most of the things considered "prophecy" by christians such as yourself was then-current or recent past social and political commentary.  The OT as you know it was profoundly shaped by two invasions, the first of which saw the land occupied and it's people and culture subsumed - then second saw it destroyed and it's people transported.  

Nothing in the OT has anything whatsoever to do with any jesus.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You need to keep up, Gae. We’re way past the OT, and on to deep-throating.
