Carbon dating is only accurate to 15,000- 30,000 years.
40000 actually.

If this creature lived 77 million years ago, then how old is creation itself ;when then were the first mammals created including the first Man, Adam. From the time Adam and Eve were formed till now is not more than 10 thousand years according to biblical records (please I am not talking about the age of the earth oo) and we are also told that the animals and other creatures were all created in seven days or 7*1000 years, by some interpretation, which is still a far cry from 77m years.
Please can someone help to reconcile biblical records with this kind of scientific dating

Firstly ask yourself how Moses who was born in Exodus was the one who wrote the book of Genesis and the creation story even without being born then .

Also ask how the Israelites were able to carry the accurate story across the Jordan River and into Canaan putting into consideration that Moses did not cross the river with them , they didn't have books or scrolls with them and even the ten commandments was written on a stone.

That means the whole first four books would have been written on plenty stones yet there was no record that the children of Israel crossed into Canaan with huge number of stones or tablet which recorded those stories.

The Biblical stories should be taken with a pinch of salt

Anyway... its a business investment... the buyer will certainly hand it over to a museum and he will make alot of money

Will museums buy it or lease it? I honestly don't know. What I almost sure of is that he'll get a good return on his investment when he resells it

You dey mind them! ... Dem think say na their Pastors wey dey brainwash them with no proof. They believe some people tried building a tower to reach heaven yet the first skyscraper is barely 150 years old. At least there is evidence of man landing on the moon without g*d being angry.

I did ask a qustn how they come to knw of that figure
Sane People corrected me, some even ask I read and knw what carbon dating is
But with this ur comment I conclude u r the one with poor mentality

Read the bolded and argue with yourself
stop the hypocrisy, you made your initial quote by doubting them and extending it towards Jest of their work and discoveries.
Next time, don't doubt science.

It is illogical for someone who doesn't have knowledge of a thing to just write it off.

If that was the way of the world we won't have developed any technologies...

When you encounter something strange do a research, that's why wisdom is amassed through questions and not illogical conclusions.
If the world was only made up of Africans expecially Nigerians we would still be trekking to Egypt believing that human beings can disappear spiritually.

Moses writings was inspired by God,

The book of revelation contains the information about the future,present and past,same with d book of Moses at the time he wrote them.

It's called carbon dating
They measure the quantities of different carbon isotopes
Since the rate of decay is constant and known, they can calculate the time the skeleton was formed.

Now, do you love science?

They don't believe all what you are saying but they use instagram and see humans use remote controlled gadgets.

It might not be exactly correct but should be close to it. Science said that these animals lived before the existence of man. And they have proven it to be so. More discoveries will definitely follow
