Dr Dino: Can Man Tell Time?

You is silly. Them trees are standing thru multiple layers of stata which PROVES they did not grow thru them & that it did not take millions of years to form the strata. The flood did it!!

This is science the Evolutionary strata depository thoeries have been conclusively been demonstrated i.e. PROVEN to be wrong.

Everything as the Evolutionists claim the geology is billions of years old & then use that long age theory to support their Evolutionary ideas. Aint you ever heard of how they date the fossils by the layers they find them in?

The first problem is seen in the very approach in the presumption that must be made in the level of Carbon 14 the organism had while living. Here we have a critical calculation that is based upon an assumption that an organism which lived thousands of years previous, of which there are no modern species to compare,

developed a specific level of Carbon 14 from an environment we know nothing about.

If for example, the presumption is inaccurate by only 10%, considering that it is the rate of decay that forms the mathematical constant, the inaccuracy of the calculation of age at the upper limit would be tens of thousands of years.

The very basis for the assumption above is another problem, and is perhaps the most embarrassing for the proponents of radiocarbon dating. To assume a particular level of Carbon 14 in an organism requires a precise determination of environmental (atmospheric) levels of the same. That is, to presume a particular level in a living thing requires a precise knowledge of the ambient amount of Carbon 14 in the air and environment. Scientists performing radiocarbon dating assume that the amount in the environment has not changed.

This is compelling for several reasons, not the least of which is the convenience with which “science” apparently operates; we hear of massive changes in the earth, ice ages, catastrophic events that killed the dinosaurs, etc., but the environment never changed according to the same scientists.

Or consider the effect a global atmospheric shield of dust created as a result of a meteor impact some scientists believe killed off the dinosaurs—levels of Carbon 14 in the atmosphere must certainly have been different, thereby invalidating the age/date test data.

Moreover, it is established fact that the earth’s magnetic field has been in a constant decline in strength, which would have vigorously protected the earth from the same radiation,

Another fact, which proves quite embarrassing to “old-age” proponents in regard to radiometric dating, is the half-life of Carbon 14 itself. Not only is the actual half-life length itself in some contention,

was dated in the hundreds of thousands, and even millions of years using Carbon 14.

Actually, after the sixth cycle or so, there would not be enough Carbon 14 in the sample to be measured; the upper limit then would be around 30,000 years.

which provide several sources of additional radiation. This has the concomitant effect of providing a source of neutrino radiation; Carbon 14 decay is accelerated in the presence of such bombardment,

and again the effect would be to cause the specimen to appear much older than it actually is.
many more examples could be given, as well as some documented, glaring failures such as live clams being dated at 1,500 years,

and parchment documents from the 17th century being dated to the 4th.

The point however, is that radiocarbon dating has serious problems in terms of reliability and veracity, and its use is at best quite limited.
