Chinese Writing Dates Back 8,000 Years
Young Earthers can start crying now.
"State media say researchers identified more than 2,000 pictorial symbols dating back 8,000 years, on cliff faces in the north-west of the country.
They say many of these symbols bear a strong resemblance to later forms of ancient Chinese characters.
Scholars had thought Chinese symbols came into use about 4,500 years ago.
The Damaidi carvings, first discovered in the 1980s, cover 15 sq km (5.8 square miles) and feature more than 8,000 individual figures including the sun, moon, stars, gods and scenes of hunting or grazing."

I'll get back to you when I think of something worthwhile to say.
If the the bible says that the universe is only 6000 years old, then why wasn't rice harvesting and beer mentioned in it too?
And how can we forget the dinosaurs? Oh wait the young earthers have something to say on that too... something not dissimilar to the Flintstones meet Adam and Eve.
