The article throws out a date of 110 million years. It should be noted that carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years and should be fully decayed in ancient fossils. However small quantities of C-14 that has not fully decayed are still found in ancient fossils.
Often evolutionists choose the dating technique that fits the picture they have in their minds. For example, 200 year old lava flows have been dated to be 3 billion years old by the potassium-argon dating method.
The fossil "Nebraska Man" is found. Scientifically built up from a single tooth, 44 years later it was found that the tooth belonged to a pig.

The fossil "Piltdown Man" is found. Remains claimed to be 500,000 years old. Cited for decades as proof of evolution. Over 500 doctoral dissertations were written. In 1956 the hoax was revealed. Scientifically built up from a jawbone, it was found that the jawbone belonged to a modem ape.

14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 14
9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 16
2And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
11And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Revelation 19
20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 20
4And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

In 400 years science has brought us further than the thousands of years of religious dogma before it. My message is simple: Embrace science, reject religion and it's false promises.
It is a myth that science and religion are at odds. Most of the founding fathers of modern science were Christians believers. Evolution is where there is disagreement. That is because all of the known scientific evidence that can be used to show that evolution is a proven fact total up to ZERO.
It is interesting to look at the scientific facts in the scriptures:
The earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22)
The earth is floating free in space (Job 26:7)
The oceans contains springs (Job 38:16)
The cyclonic movement of air currents (Ecclesiates 1:6)
Light moves (Job 38:19-20
It should be noted how complex and extraordinary the properties are of DNA.
A human's entire DNA unwound extend 185 billion kilometers
A simple protien must have at least 100 amino acids bonded together in the correct sequence and there are 20 different amino acids that can be used. The amino acids must be left handed and not right handed. They also must be donded on left hand. The probability of the formation of a simple protien comes out to 1 in 1.28x10^175.

What I find disturbing is that there are postings saying that Christians are against science. That is completely wrong. Modem science as we know it today would not exist had it not been for most of the great scientists who where Christians. Here are just a few scientists who where Christians:
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"
Matthew 24:3 (New International Version) MT 24
"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
Luke 21:25 (New International Version) LK 21
Evolution is pure fiction. Darwin himself admitted that the fossil record does not support evolution.
Natural selection only uses the genetic information that is available and it tends to keep species stable.
Mutations never add additional genetic information. When a mutation occurs information is mistransmitted or lost. Additional DNA information is never added, which would be necessary to produce higher life forms.
Lets look at some of the fossils evolutionists have used to support their claims:
"Neandethal Man": This famous skeleton found in France turned out to be the skeleton of and old man that suffered from severe arthritis.
"Nebraska Man": Built up from a single tooth that was later found to be from an extinct pig.
"Piltdown Man": The jawbone turned out to be from a modern ape.
The fossil record does not support evolution and Darwin himself admitted this. Millions of transitional life forms would need to exist to prove the theory of evolution. However, not a single "missing link" has been found.
Slashdot Mirror
The idea that organs that have an unknown use must be leftover from an earlier species has been argued by evolutionists for a long time.
Several decades ago it was thought that humans had about 180 vestigial/leftover organs. Now that number is down to 0 to 6.
These organs probably have a purpose, and if they did not it would be an example of microevolution and not macroevolution.
