With a certain method, it has been "proven" that this skull is 1 3/4 million years old. But Dr. R. Whitelaw recently "proved" with a radio-carbon-method that this skull is only some 10 000 years old. Quite a difference, isn't it? 2) The evolutionists say that the moon is billions of years old, and during that period of time, there have been lots of meteors falling on the surface of the moon. Therefore, a thick layer of dust should be found on the surface of the moon, which, considering the age of the moon, could have the thickness of a couple of meters. Therefore, when men landed on the moon, the landing equipment was equipped with special feet (very expensive). It really was a big waste of money, because, as you know, and as the creationists had predicted, there was not even an inch of dust on the moon. Now, the second example does not quite match with what you said. But I think it speaks for itself. Comments? Matt
