The interesting thing about what you said above is that I'm sure you did not do the experiments to prove/disprove carbon 14 dating works. At some point - you believed what some human had written down. It required faith from you in the person writing the information you so readily absorbed.
Why did you absorb it? Did you question it? - Probably not. Because you were interested and had a mind to build upon it. It confirmed what you were wanting.
I don't need to believe in my God. My "belief" is more rock solid than yours in C14 dating because as opposed to only reading about him (as you read about C14), I've experienced his grace - as he has changed my life.
I don't know how old the earth is. I know that God created the Sun before the earth. I also know the Bible states 7 days. Since the Earth did not exist to rotate on the day the Sun was created, You have to conclude that "days" was used by the Biblical writers to explain that which they did not have words to describe. I would define a day back then as an ending and beginning paired together. Who knows how long that was - only God. On that note, The Bible does not contradict C14 dating.
