Documentary Fooled...

I spend a lot of time searching for interesting movies and shows on Netflix instant queue. I am a sucker for the Sci-Fi and documentaries. The other day I found "Dinosaurs or Dragons?" and it sounded interesting. It has been a theory for science that bones of dinosaurs inspired the existence of dragons all over the world. I started watching the documentary one evening as my wife tried to sleep on the couch beside me. I thought the video would just compare how dinosaurs helped many cultures to create dragons. It was mentioning the possible existence that some remote areas of the world believe these creatures still exist. Which was a little odd for it to bring up. Then it started discussing Evolution vs Creation. At first i thought they were just covering all bases, but i quickly learned that it was just a documentary for creation riding on the coat tails of a dragon documentary. I realized as i stopped the video that there was a subtitle of "Evolution or Creation" on the bottom of the image of the box that i didn't notice before. I could watch a documentary on creation, but i felt suckered into watching it. There also wasn't any interviews from true evolutionists. It seemed like a one sided argument. Such a shame that creationist try to hide their true intent behind a talk about dinosaurs and dragons. Most of the documentary is based on the fact that Carbon dating isn't correct. I am not a scientist, but I could understand if there was a problem with carbon dating. Science is built on theories that are tried and tested over and over before becoming a law. But all the discussions on the problems of carbon dating would mean that their has to be some scientific journals talking about it. After a quick google search I just found three pages of creationist websites articles about it. Thus telling me that it is a creationists thought up science. I suppose some can think it is a conspiracy by evolutionists, but that is extreme. I won't get into the possibilities of it, but i am more disappointed in the way the documentary was presented.
