Here's a question: If carbon dating is bunk, how do we know how old the Dead Sea Scrolls really are?

I am not going to criticize anyone for being religious. If a Christian belief system helps you in your day to day life and gives you solace in difficult times, that is great. Perhaps you are at an advantage.

But I will say this: keep an open mind. It's this kind of "my way is the only way" thinking that propels religious zealots in all religions. Perhaps another way to consider is to examine the common tenets of all religions, to find the commonalities instead of the differences. Then all religions might get along, instead of holding the Crusades, or issuing fatwas. You know, living in peace and harmony, like a god in any monotheistic system would want.

As a side note, I have to say the Bible doesn't answer all of my questions. And questions are the foundation of science.
