@grnloveunme Or when I really need to cry.

Sometimes when I really need to laugh, I watch this clip.

@BigDTexas I would suggest you look up "radiometric dating" which is how we actually date fossils.
-
@Idude893 Actually, that's not correct either. Carbon dating only works for carbon-bearing materials up to roughly 60,000 years old. So it can't be used to date dinosaur fossils. They do however use radiometric dating, which is what carbon dating is, but they look at other isotopes.

@bjggjb Very well put, good sir!

"Actually, scientists use carbon dating as a method to find the age of fossils. Additionally, older fossils are usually deeper underground than the newer ones."

Actually no!
But good for you proving the Brawndo point of demonstrating for believing at face value what crap creationists website try to sell you.
By the way, besides you not understanding radiometric dating, fossils are NEVER dated using carbon dating. NEVER!

This clip from Idiocracy is both hilarious and insightful. Brawndo is merely a piece of satire used to highlight how, when you give corporate America unfettered power, it will attempt to do whatever possible to increase profits - even if that means subverting people's basic knowledge of science. You don't have to be all that perceptive to see the parallels this movie was drawing between Brawndo's distortion of science and what oil companies do to mislead the public about the environment.

Go away, I'm batin'!

@BigDTexas Actually, those dates are confirmed by measuring known rates of radioactive decay against the ratio of various isotopes found in those layers. But never mind that, it's just a bunch of SCIENCE cooked up by pointy-headed intellectual geeks who've probably never even been in a bar fight (unlike a big, tough, common-sense, beer-swillin', pickup-drivin', God-fearin' Texas cowboy like you, who wants to be Jesus's punkboy someday.)

Brawndo also contains SUPER EXTRA CAFFEINE and FIVE kinds of sugar, which makes it DELICIOUS and much better than other energy drinks that are NOT DELICIOUS!
