It's worrying when a so called scientist says that "the only way to know about the past with certainty is to consult a history book". It will be interesting to see the court proceedings in Michael Jacksons trial when the prosecutors bring out "the Chronicles of Neverland" as evidence that Wacko is a child molester. Because that's what they will have to do, isn't it?

Technically, that's an accurate statement, so it's not really a lie (for those with a fundamentalist mentality). Misleading yes, but true nonetheless.
"Carbon dating is very supportive of a young earth" -- this is an untrue statement.
Only the second part of the compound-statement is true: "Carbon dating never gives age estimates of millions or billions of years"
Eh, it's just more AiG dishonesty, Doc. Think of it as a sort long-distance straw-man aimed at the scientificly illiterate. They do that a lot, and it's pretty effective. After all, what percentage of the population knows from 'radiocarbon' and 'radiometric?'

Yes, and I dispise them for it. They are knowingly deceiving people, and at the same time proclaiming Christian values. Despicable pieces of manure is what I think the AiG-people are.
