It seems that you are not will to admit that most of the scientific methodology is subjected to assumptions, bias, speculations and inference just to name a few. Take carbon dating it is used to date things to about 50000 years, so something that is supposed to be 1 million years old should not have any carbon 14. Yet we find diamonds with carbon 14. What does that mean? Well it can two meanings either it is young than 50000 or carbon 14 has leeched into the diamond from the environment, which means we cannot really use carbon 14 to date anything because the data for the age could have been corrupted by carbon 14 being leeched from the environment

Which are just proofs or evidence that evolution does not exists. Without intelligence computers, technology and medicine would not exist. Has anyone observe computers, technology or medicine evolve by themselves without the use of intelligence?

Is it even worth pointing out that evolution applies to living things, not things that don't reproduce?
Animal species. Living things. They evolve.
Computers. Made things. They do not evolve.
Look up carbon dating, you illegitimate son of a camel.
.... or it means those rare diamonds with 14C are indeed less than 50Ka old? In addition to contamination from other minerals, this is possible as well! I love how the "either..." message really doesn't give a second option.
Carbon-14 has a half-life of only 5,730 years. The upper limits on its range is about 62,000 years.
Uranium-238 decays to Lead-206 with a half-life of 4.47 billion years. Rubidium-87 decays to Strontium-87 with a half-life of about 50 billion years. For comparison, the Universe is only about 13.7 billion years old.
Thank you for proving that you haven't done thirty seconds of research. I hope you enjoy being an irrational, willfully ignorant, delusional idiot for the rest of your pitiful excuse of a life.
Actually cdelestial-salamander, and anyone else who's curious, a small amount of the Carbon 14 can remain far past 50,000 years. "Half life" doesn't mean half the time it takes to all decay. Half life is the amount of time it takes for half a sample to decay. It's a measure of the probablity that a given number of decay reactions will take place.
So, every 5,730 years, half of a samples Carbon 14 decays. Then it gets cut in half every additional 5,730 years. But, there's nothing to prevent a few "stubborn" atoms from lasting for millions of years. It's just that so little remains that one can't draw accurate conclusions.

So you've proved that biological evolution does not require intelligence. Which we've claimed all along. Good job.
"It seems that you are not will to admit that most of the scientific methodology is subjected to assumptions, bias, speculations and inference just to name a few."
Actually, we do. Which is why scientific research has so many safeguards such as controlled trials, double-blind trials, need for reproducibility, peer-review, etc.
Well it can two meanings either it is young than 50000 or carbon 14 has leeched into the diamond from the environment , which means we cannot really use carbon 14 to date anything
No, there's a third possibility: the energy from the sun isn't the only thing that can create C14. Trace amounts can also be created by radioactivity in adjacent rocks,which means we can't reliably date things out in the 40,000 - 60,000 year range using only C14. The amount of C14 found in diamonds is exceedingly small - certainly nowhere near making them less than 8,000 years old. So C14 in diamonds is actually a good disproof of Biblical genealogies.
Computers: Brains. Essentially a brain is just a computer, so yes, we have seen computers evolve.
Technology: Really depends on what you mean by this. If you mean things that make your life easier, most of biology gives you examples of that. Teeth, legs, wings, all of these things evolved in response to pressures, and could be considered "technology"
Medicine: Here is where you really show your ignorance. Let's see... if I were to think really hard, can I think of an example of medicine that evolved? Well, aside from the immune system (you probably wouldn't understand how that fits) lets say one of the drugs that changed the course of human history. Penicillin. Yep, turns out that was actually evolved from a "lowly" fungus as a means to combat bacteria. We just kind of... borrowed it. In fact, most of the medicines we use today have their origin in evolution (the few notable exceptions are due to the rising use of high throughput screening and random molecules).
Confused?
