Steve5721: Yes, that is the CONTENTION.
I think if they wanted to clear it all up, let them carbon date one or two other pieces.....unless they have something to hide of course?
Don't you know carbon dating is SUBJECTIVE??? According to some christians man walked with the dinosaurs and the earth is only 10,000 years old despite what carbon dating may say.....

Sounds to me like I walk the earth with lunatics now.

Radiocarbon dating, or carbon dating, is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 (14C) to determine the age of carbonaceous materials up to about 58,000 to 62,000 years. Raw, i.e. uncalibrated, radiocarbon ages are usually reported in radiocarbon years "Before Present" (BP), "Present" being defined as 1950 CE. Such raw ages can be calibrated to give calendar dates.
One of the most frequent uses of radiocarbon dating is to estimate the age of organic remains from archaeological sites. When plants fix atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic material during photosynthesis they incorporate a quantity of 14C that approximately matches the level of this isotope in the atmosphere (a small difference occurs because of isotope fractionation, but this is corrected after laboratory analysis). After plants die or they are consumed by other organisms (for example, by humans or other animals) the 14C fraction of this organic material declines at a fixed exponential rate due to the radioactive decay of 14C. Comparing the remaining 14C fraction of a sample to that expected from atmospheric 14C allows the age of the sample to be estimated.
The technique of radiocarbon dating was developed by Willard Libby and his colleagues at the University of Chicago in 1949. Emilio Segrè asserted in his autobiography that Enrico Fermi suggested the concept to Libby in a seminar at Chicago that year. Libby estimated that the steady state radioactivity concentration of exchangeable carbon-14 would be about 14 disintegrations per minute (dpm) per gram. In 1960, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for this work. He first demonstrated the accuracy of radiocarbon dating by accurately estimating the age of wood from an ancient Egyptian royal barge for which the age was known from historical documents.from WIKI

This is Muhammad (peace be upon him)who is the best ever man in the history.Jesus(peace be upon him) have been crossed as christians believe and you people don't even give them a chance to taught you people and initially the people were against him.As it is your faith jesus had been crossed but in our Holy Quraan it is written jesus have been taking up on to the skies and right now he is alive and see all christians what they are doing but let me tell what all christians are doing is completely opposite to what jesus want from you.Jesus (peace be upon him ) return to this world before the ressurection day and he will kii an one eyed man called dajjal and he pray side to side with Muhammad (peace be upon him) and let me tell you he follow what muhammad peace be upon him religion nor he will come to endorse you.Muhammad peace be upon him is the last messenger and the purpose of his arrival to this world is to spread islam because christianity didn't served the right purpose and it went wrong since it's beginning and that is what all about.

LOL no doubt... hey I have an idea.... lets carry around a 2000 year old book that has been revised so many times from the original stories that it is not even close to the same book. Nevermind the fact that many of the stories that didn't go with what the church in power at the time wanted the people to hear were completely left out. Stories that change the entire nature of the book.... Nevermind the fact that back then we used to get a chisel and a rock and pound holes in the heads of people to let out the demons when they were mentally ill. Nevermind the fact that science can now disprove or explain most of what was written in the book. Lets just blindly follow and accept what it says word for literal word as the "gospel" the "gods honest truth" etc. etc... Because those people 2000 years ago who probably lived to a ripe old age of 25 knew much much more than we know today. I guess that's easier than having to think for yourself and make decisions based on your own experience.
