Religion easily pushes off Carbon Dating as complete nonsense, and a non credible source. Just as well really as it does pretty much debunk one of their main texts in Genesis, in that God created the world 6000 years ago.
The church ARE clever yes, and it's ridiculous how much power and freedom they are allowed in today’s society. Don't get me started on their tax exemptions, the fuss they are causing over the Atheism ads on busses in London, or even the uproar after Obama rightly mentioned 'non believers' in his speech.
I don't understand how you can believe in evolution but also be religious. They are a complete contradiction of each other, and to try and piece them together seems a cop-out from what more than likely probably happened. None of us will know in our lifetime what REALLY happened, but every day science is coming up with more explanations, and trying to piece together the evidence to back up its findings. Religion has stuck to the same old
story for thousands of years, and will continue to brainwash kids at the age where they aren't old enough to think for themselves. At the end of the day they are a profit making organisation, and if you have to tell a small white lie to make billions of pounds, why not!
