Great!now you have a purpose in live,live in sufferance to please a God that
may send you in hell ,though he LOVES you. So we must all live/die/waste our lives for him because he needs people to worship him. truly a fine purpose, and a mighty forgiving god (that might just send you to hell , but he's good ).

I would like to point out that I have studied creationism and evolution. (I went to a Christian school for two years) Setec, I highly doubt you have honestly studied creationism.

Creationism is NOT science,please understand that. See the criterion of falsifiability that science generally presents.

I only brought up carbon dating because a lot of people's first response when I tell them the age of the Earth is what about carbon dating? My point is that it is not reliable. There are varies factors that could make it inaccurate; for example carbon dating assumes that the rate of carbon decay has remained the same over the thousands of years the creature has been dead. Just throwing this out there, but don't ice ages occur roughly every 10,000 years supposedly? So if we have a 50,000 year old creature that goes through five ice ages and freezes. This would cause the decay to be much slower. Of course that particular example doesn't support me, but it just shows an example of how carbon dating could be way off.

Oh , I know the explanation for the dinosaurs thing: God put the fossils there to test us !!11!oneone.
Please red about

Radiocarbon dating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And as you said that you've studied so much , you probably knew that carbon dating is NOT used for dating the age of earth. See:
Radiometric dating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for further details.

"Evolution is mathematically impossible. The mathematical probability of a SINGLE CELL coming about by chance is 1/10340,000,000, the fraction 1 divided by 1 followed by 340 million zeros! And then this cell must live long enough to reproduce. And then the reproduced cell must live long enough to do the same. And then more "accidents" must happen to cause more complexity. And then more "accidents" must happen to cause more complexity. And long before the first "accident" evolution is nothing but a silly, mystical fairy tale."

If you start like that,you might as well bring the so called "argument" that
Sir Fred Hoyle presented (the one with the tornado and the boeing 747...look it up in the net).
Your understanding of evolution is that a cell must be formed at once "by accident" which is utterly wrong. First , the basic building block of life form (nucleotides), then amino acids,they then form some other structures which names I've forgotten ,which then form self-replicating structures such as DNA or RNA.It's a step by step process , and there is no change that a cell just forms in a second by chance from water , methane , heat and whatever else is needed. The whole point is that each step leads to an increase in complexity,and the sum of all parts can be greater than the parts taken separately.

Finally, I would like to point out that there is no such thing as a vestigial organ (an organ that is useless - like a leftover byproduct of evolution). It is a common misconception that the appendix is useless, go read this: Cutting out a useless vestigial argument

Ever seen the X-ray photos of a whale ? What's with the small leg bones buried deep inside their body,in the back part ? They serve what function ? Oh and what do ostriches and emus do with their wings ? I've never seen one fly.
