Hi jackal1412
Welcome to the forum.
I'm pretty new here myself. I just want to make some statements.
1.)I'm not the best typist-hang in there.
2.)I am a devout Christian and beleive in Evolution.
3.)Unlike Creationists I look at things objectivly.
4.)Creationism is plain wrong.
And yes, you are correct. A year and a light year are not the same thing. A year is a measure of time. A Lightyear is a measure of distance. So if something is a Light Year away, it will take the light from that star or object a year to reach Earth.
If you see something that is 100,000 Lightyears away, it took 100,000 years for the light to reach us. Currently, the most distant object we've been able to see is slightly over 13 Billion Light years away. That means that the Universe is at least 13 Billion years old.
Now none of this has to do with Carbon Dating which is the subject of this thread so I hope you'll join us in that discussion.

Anyone so limited as to be able to spell a word only one way is severely handicapped.

And in addition, the subject of carbon dating might become significant when determining how they buried TJ Watson.
You folk be careful what you say about folk using puchcards. For some it was a clear sign of Evolution.

There appears to be some indications
that we might be in the early stages of a magnetic field reversal right now.
Here is a link to a recent news piece on some of the latest studies.
For me, the biggest question is, "Since this will be the first such event since civilization and recorded history, and in particular the first since the electronic age, what exactly will be the impacts?"

Then perhaps you will come over to dates and dating and join in a discussion about how some dating methods work. You can find the thread at Message 1.
