More stuff and nonsense. Where do you get this from??? C14 dating is based on the ratio of C14 to C12 and is not useful for much over a few hundred thousand years. Even if your assertion were true (which it isn't) we would be looking at precambrian atmosphere -- several hundred million years ago.

Simple is probably apropos -- why do you revel in ignorance? And why do you rely on sources that are equally ignorant? Either intellect is god-given or evolved-- it matters little. In either you use it or you lose it. How can you so blithely denigrate intelligence?

Santiago:

During the early days of the earth, there was very little oxygen in the atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere was more like Venus's. Until plant life began to flourish, there was a huge amount of carbon dioxide.
