"Sorry, I meant commonly used in the sense that that's what the general public usually hears about."
Yep... this is true. Carbon dating affects more recent (and to most people, more interesting) events than uranium, thorium, strontium helium etc. dating does... hence you hear about it more in the press.
"That's what the last topic was about... I did my explaining"
You may well have done your explaining; that's fine. But I am asking: do you understand why people like myself do not believe in god? Can you see our reasoning and our logic?
I think it's been explained clearly enough several times.
"I will not argue with that, because you claimed to have given religion a chance. Everything is a choice, your path is different from mine, can't do anything about it."
True enough... but I just wanted you to understand my POV, since (as you started this thread), I imagined you must have been confused on my/our perspective and were seeking some answers as to what and why we think the way we do. So my question is: can you understand our viewpoint?
