With apologies for the thread drift involved, the purpose of which will become apparent:

At Gobekli Tepe in southern Turkey, the oldest man made construction known has been uncovered and is challenging the previously held belief that communal building and religion did not arise until man settled and began to farm crops and livestock. Parts of the construction date as far back as 14,000 years, while the latest is more than 10,000, over 1000 years before the earliest known farming and domestication.

The reason for posting this is to provide an example to Pete, of the difference between religion and science.

The scientists have accepted that they were wrong and accommodated the new knowledge into an enhanced explanation of social evolution.

Creationists cannot admit the existence of anything 12,000 years ago or more, so can only fall back on the tired "scientists have got the dating wrong", "we don't believe it", or any one of a dozen irrational responses.
