Evolutionary failures 3

Final installment of the series, more on evolution

3. Proof of failed evolution

There is evidence from the ground that evolution is false, or at least evolutionary time. Carbon-14 is used for radioactive dating. Its half-life(time it takes for half of it to decay) is 5730 years. This means that it can only be used to date things that are 60,000 years and below (after the 10th half-life, there is no more carbon-14 to test). So, everything containing Carbon-14 should be less than 60,000 years old. However, every single source of oil in the world has been found to contain. Oil is supposedly created via anaerobic decay of million-of-years old fossils (hence fossil fuels), these should be more than 60,000 years old. So, by the reasoning that only 60,000 years and younger things contain Carbon-14, Oil is less than 60,000 years old, and so are dinosaurs.

One more problem is how continents still stand. Water covers 70% of Earth, it also erodes away land. The land currently available on Earth is not constant and decreases over time. At the current rate of erosion, the entire area of land known to man would have eroded away in a few hundred million years. The evolutionary time scale is a few billion years, so there should not be any land here at all. Why is there land? Because something is wrong with evolution
