Isn't it reasonable to doubt Young Earth Creationism?

Stuart, I'm not going to babysit you through learning about how carbon-14 exists where it shouldn't if BB is true. I gave you a link for you to read which provides details. I recommend you click on it and learn something.
Can you tell me where 'Carbon 14 exist
Stuart
The article sure does. You should read it.

If some Christians want to run around telling everyone that to be a Christian you have to believe the earth is flat and only 6,000 years old, I say let 'em.
7000, and to be a Christian, you have to have a relationship with God, not believe the earth is young or old.
So, not one piece of evidence to contradict a 4.54 billion year old earth. Not from you, anyway.
Stuart
Indeed. But the problem is that once someone has made the high emotional investment in the absurdities of christianity, there is little they won't believe, which can cause subsequent problems.
Stuart
Ignoring evidence doesn't make it go away, Stuart.
Go read through the link. You might learn something.

6days said an ancient earth "destroys the purpose of Calvery". Is he wrong?
And asserting that evidence exists does not make it magically appear.
What would I learn, do you think? What is the single, devastating point that in itself completely disproves a 4.54 billion year old earth, and how exactly does it achieve that?
Stuart
He is correct.
No, but providing it, as I have done, for you to view shows that it does exist.
I don't know. You should go read the link and stop asking so many questions.
Perhaps you should go read the link and find out.
Stuart, your bias is showing. Stop it.

For themselves perhaps. But the survey data is pretty clear...Christianity's anti-scientific stance is driving people away from the faith, especially young people.
So when they want to argue a flat and young earth, let them take the stage and give 'em a microphone.
Do you mean like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Lent, etc?
Lumping flat-earthers in with the rest of Biblical creationists is an insult to Biblical creationists.
I have become increasingly conflicted over the years in regards to creationism and scientific communication. If you are looking for a basic theoretical explanation, ironically it is often the introduction on a creationist website that gives the best grounding in a topic. I guess this is done to explain the context to an audience who are fairly scientifically ignorant, and the writers must have a great deal of time and other resources to prepare these carefully. Of course the next thing you read down the page is patent nonsense that aims to discredit the carefully explained science.
So while I agree with you about people being turned off by nonsense, there may also be a way to rehabilitate the fraudsters by destroying the nonsense and embracing the good.
Stuart
Sorry? What did you 'provide', exactly?
One fact that disproves the 4.54 billion year age of the earth? Can you articulate one?
Stuart
Well yes, most christian festivals are pagan holidays that have been assimilated.
But what I really mean is the ridiculousness of believing that a man walked again after he had been executed by the Romans, or that someone could be born of only one parent, or could walk on the surface of water, or that you can know anything of what Jesus said, or know anything about his childhood when there are no eyewitness accounts for anything that Jesus did.
If you believe that list, you will believe anything.
Stuart
A link to evidence, which you are trying extremely hard to ignore.

The article linked above in this comment does.
