55. Maybe you need to spend more time in that library
"The earth is 4.54 billion years old. Dinosaurs evolved, and died out, between 245 and 65 million years ago. Mammals first appeared around the time dinosaurs disappeared -- 65 million years ago. Ape-like animals first appeared between 34.5 and 29 million years ago. Hominids first appeared around 2 million years ago, and modern man evolved between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago. All of these dates and ranges are calculated estimates based on radiocarbon dating of identified artifacts"

Really? Care to provide some links showing how radiocarbon dating has been used to determine that the earth is 5.54 billion years old? Might be hard to do, since radiocarbon dating is acknowledged even by its proponents to have an upper limit of 50,000 years.

radiocarbon dating

But if you are a True Believer, I guess you can just make shit up and sound authoritative and hope that no one will call you on it.
