Jim,

In the first place, this list is not the place to debate creation vs. 
evolution.  Second, if you will re-read the message you quoted, you will
note that I merely forwarded someone else's message (on that occasion,
although I did address the issue in a different post).  I think we have
probably addressed the C14 issue sufficiently, at least for the purposes
of the present list, since it is after all something of a tangent, so I
will leave it to the members of the list to come to their own conclusions
about radiocarbon dating on the basis of the various arguments that have
been put forward.
