“Radiocarbon dating. C (the period of time after which half of a given sample will have decayed) is about 5,730 years, the oldest dates that can be reliably measured by this process date to around 50,000 years ago, although special preparation methods occasionally permit accurate analysis of older samples.”

How come the Gall mite hasn’t changed in 230 million years something might be wrong with the dating.

Why has the crocodile hardly changed at all?

Nothing has changed.

Correct. However, other dating methods such as Uranium-Lead can go back a lot further. Four billion years or more.

I seriously doubt that. Earth, according to science, was a different place four billion years ago. Why do we have Thorium 234? Or Uranium 234?
 
There is no such thing as evolution at all. So if you believe nonsense, you are too stupid to be a real Catholic.
 
A good picture of a polystrate fossil tree section. There are other polystrate fossils that are similar. Why would a tree extend through all those layers? Layers that are supposedly older the further you go down? Good find.
 
Radiocarbon isn’t the only option for dating; there’s also uranium-lead dating (though that probably doesn’t apply here), potassium-argon dating (K40 has a half-life of 1.3 G years, so you can go pretty far back with that), etc. Also, you can compare the sediment it was found in to similar sediments and get a pretty good date from that.

“All” includes the Gall mite and the Crocodile. 5778 years ago?

The Gall mite and the Crocodile are all part of the food chain, big animals eat the small animals . All this has to be in place at the same time to support life on earth.
 
Because those layers were usually all deposited at once, whether by sea level rise (as happened occasionally in the geologic past), falling earth (usually caused by the same processes that form salt domes – salt gets pushed out of some areas and into others because it’s less dense than the rock around it), or volcanic eruption. That last one we’ve seen happen on a human timescale with the eruptions of Mounts Pinatubo in 1991 and St Helens in 1980.

Is it your understanding these 2 animals were created 5778 years ago?
Is it your understanding that all animals are of necessity created together to enable the food chain we see today?
 
Salutations,
Of course, the church teaches more than that one phrase. I’m sorry, if I placed Bruno up w scientists. Scientists and Magicians share some chemistry.
I was taught by many nuns, when topic came up, that after the church had been burning heretics of which some scientists were accused. That the church than stated,” THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THERE IS A GOD AND SCIENCE TEACHES HOW GOD CREATED. I didn’t make that up. I’m not that clever.

Giordano Bruno (/dʒɔːrˈdɑːnoʊ ˈbruːnoʊ/; Italian: [dʒorˈdano ˈbruno]; Latin: Iordanus Brunus Nolanus; 1548 – 17 February 1600), born Filippo Bruno, was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and cosmological theorist.[3] He is known for his cosmological theories, which conceptually extended the then-novel Copernican model. He proposed that the stars were just distant suns surrounded by their own exoplanets and raised the possibility that these planets could even foster life of their own (a philosophical position known as cosmic pluralism). He also insisted that the universe is in fact infinite and could have no celestial body at its “center”.
A cosmologist is a scientist.
In all due respect.

That phrase taught to me didn’t mean to believe everything with which science related. Bible is a story in allegory form. There were more people than Adam and Eve. It wasn’t an apple that got them sent out of Eden. It was a disobedient act of taking from the tree of GOOD AND EVIL. God gave them limits. They broke them. They knew they could break them now. Out from protected environment. Consequences given now. Punishment for sin.
Most ppl couldn’t read in those days. The earth was flat. Sun traveled around earth. So, theHoly Spirit delivered this message to Moses forPentateuch. Further study w Bible Scholors question if Moses or a Secretary wrote the Pentateuch.
I’m sure you are up on the most recent translations.
There is a simplicity of scripture for the novices. As we walk longer w Jesus, we get into deeper complexities. For a season we are babies, then grow to toddlers. First, we are fed as babies, then later we must work for understanding.
God bless you

The Church didn’t burn any scientist at the stake. Giordano Bruno was not a scientist, he was a materialist, pantheist philosopher and occultist. He was put to death for promoting theological heresies: that Christ was not God but a magician, that the Holy Spirit is the soul of the world, that the Devil will be saved.

Click to expand...
The Church teaches much more than that God created. It also teaches that God created all things immediately by his own power; that he alone is the creator; that all things are dependent upon him; that he created all things through the Logos, his Son; that God created all things for himself; that the Holy Spirit is the giver of life; that God creates out of nothing; that he created with wisdom an ordered world; that he is present to his creatures’ inmost being; that he upholds and sustains all things in being, enables them to act and brings them to their final end; that the solicitude of his divine providence is immediate and concrete; that he is absolutely sovereign over the course of events; that he is the first cause, and he works in and through secondary causes; that he is always the creator.

Scientists give false naturalistic accounts of how things were created.

No need for that, billions of generations have been haul out right front of our eyes already, and still no new animal is being transformed

One could look at the entire history of animal and plant breeding by humans as a huge experiment which has been proceeding for thousands of years. This experiment has provided no evidence that animals or plants can evolve into something other than their original kinds.
