John, the fossil record has been interpreted through darwin's eyes. The problem evolutionists have is that they often date old bones and fossils by the rock they're in/next to. This is not logical. I recently ran across a site where human remains and cow remains and dinosaur remains were all found in at the same site....I'll post this later.....if scientists were to date those fossils, they'd probably date the human and cow remains with carbon 14, yet date the dinosaur remains by dating the rocks. This is because dinosaurs are assumed to be old....but who would know for sure unless they used carbon 14 to test them?

I disagree. It is logical to date bones based on the rock strata within which they are found (assuming we have a means of precisely determining the age of the strata). What is illogical in your example is the failure of the scientists in question to actually follow their own rules. If human, cow, and dinosaur bones are all being found in the same strata, then, the theory goes, they all belong to the same basic time period, and they are, therefore, approximately the same age, unless something happened to contaminate the site and mix up the strata or something. So the error isn't dating via strata, the error is ignoring blatantly obvious evidence in front of one that contradicts established (scientific) dogma. Confronted with a find like that, the scientists in question most definitely shouldn't be assuming anything about the ages of any of the bones. Multiple dating techniques should be applied to them all, and if they can't agree, then something is seriously wrong with one or more assumptions or beliefs about dating or the creatures in question, and the scientists involved should say so.

[update: The previous reply I made was to the last copied post (which was addressing a different John), which I didn't realize was a copy of someone else's post, not actually addressed to me, until I read through some of the thread and found the article. I have, therefore, removed both my copy of it and my reply.]
