:)  If the autograph is that of Adam, Noah, Isaiah, Abraham, or Moses and
can  be
    authenticated then you have the genuine article.  Otherwise I would
question it.  :)

You're not trying to tell me that my first edition, leather bound, hand
tipped, autographed Bible recently purchased on Ebay may be a fake; are you?

This reminds me of a newspaper article I read in high school (eon's ago).
The article talked about an 'exciting new discovery' on a lake in Idaho or
Montana.  It was a dug-out Indian.  It was sent to a neighboring university
for analysis.  Carbon-dating was used to determine that the canoe was
several thousand years old.  I guess the article made headlines around the
Northwest.

A woman happened to read about this discovery and saw a picture of it in her

local newspaper.  She went to the university and asked to meet with the
professor doing the study.  She showed him a picture of the same canoe and
explained the canoe was made by her son who was in scouting at the time.
There were distinct marks on the side of the canoe that validated her story.

Her son was studying Indian Lore and wanted to build a dug out canoe.  He
used some of the methods such as burning and chipping to hollow out the log.


So much for carbon-dating!
Note:
I can't remember if the canoe was discovered at a lake in Idaho and taken to

a university in Montana or the other way around.  The woman lived in the
state where the canoe was discovered.

read another interesting book on this subject the other month.

A theory is something via testing you can either prove or disprove.

Since the earth is either billions or ~6000 years old depending on what you
believe,  No one was around to observe the birth of the earth that is still
living, and there has been enough change to make most forms of testing
questionable (has the decay of various isotopes (carbon) been constant or
variable over 6000 or billions of years ?), the author's premise is what
"MODEL" of what we can observe today best matches either evolution or
creation.

IE does the first and second law of theromdynamics match the evolution MODEL

or creation MODEL ?

Does the finding of dinosaur fossils match an evolution MODEL or
creation/flood MODEL ?

There was a good 25/30 questions along this line with discussions about
beliefs of both camps as it relates.
