Pat Robertson is a nut job. The Bible tells you, starting with Adam, how old the ancestor was when they had their children. You just go back and add up the dates, it comes to around 6,000. Do a little research instead of just blindly accepting things that you want so badly to be true. Then again, you were flipping through channels so I am guessing you don't know how to do any critical thinking of your own. The conspiracy theory is that false-teachers like Pat Robertson add huge gaps between Genesis 1.1 and 1.2 that don't exist anywhere in the Bible, trying to mesh with modern day science.

You'd have better luck proving another, more ancient holy book to be true. How many labs have you worked in utilizing RCD? Uranium-lead? Potassium-Argon? Everyone spouts off Carbon-14 and has zero experience or even knowledge of how it works. All radiometric dating methods are based on great assumptions, and the only way they even "seem" accurate is because the dates that don't line up with the "estimate" are thrown out. The dates are "estimated" by the geologic column, which does not exist in reality, only in tax-payer funded textbooks. It is complete and total circular reasoning; a huge logical fallacy. The dates of fossils are estimated by what "layer" of rock they are found in. The "layer" of rocks are estimated to be a certain age, depending upon which fossils are found in them. Carbon-14 is NOT used to date ANYTHING that is estimated to be more than thousands of years (not millions and certainly not billions), because the half-life of Carbon is so short (relatively speaking). The very fact that you even went there just proves you have no idea what you are talking about and blindly follow your god (modern science). You should take a good hard look deep down inside you, and realize you are blindly accepting the things you are being fed because you secretly DO NOT want the Bible to be true. You don't want a God to be in control, you want it, and you don't want to have to answer for your lust. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1.18-23 Your god is humanism, and your prophets are sinful, despicable men, that love their own minds and desires, more than the mercy of the God that created them.
