If carbon dating were the only method we used, you'd have a valid point.  But have dozens.  Some offer more accurate pictures or work on better elements than others but when you combine them together, it's pretty damn hard to refute the results.

So you think. People also had evidence that protiens carried our genetic material at one point and that atoms were the smallest particle. But we know better now. All I'm saying is you can't say its absolute untill proven and it takes a lot to prove something.

Also, even with the dating it still doesn't disprove religion. Just certain views religions has held at one point (just like science has done to itself so many times before)

And I'm not religious. I love science and truth (biochem major with a minor in philosophy). But I'm not going to be so quick to say "this disproves that or this proves it"

And you'll never hear me say science disrpoves God.  Only it changes perceptions and interpretations.

You are correct that newer information changes previously held scientific data.  But that's also the point of science.  By design it is supposed to be constantly updated.  You could say that science is merely a momentary snapshot of accumulated data.

But as noted by Flash Gordon, even if they were off a little bit, it's not likely that all methods are off by 4.8 billion years....or 65 million (depending on what you are dating)
