Creationists who measure C14 in dinosaur fossils get laughed at rather than taken seriously because scientists know that they’re only measuring background contamination. Non avian dinosaurs are way too old to have ingested C14 left.

The nitrogen is there because C14 is unstable and decays back to the stable element nitrogen.

Nope. It's demonstrably there as remains of proteins. Would you like me to show you that?

But as you vvery well know..it's there and it shouldn't be there...why? They are young....biomaterial found in dinosaurs back up the carbon 14 finding.

 

[Brightmoon]

Why do you think it shouldn’t be there? All amino acids have nitrogen as part of their chemical make up.

in fact amino acids are named from the amine group ( NH2-) . The N stands for nitrogen

So what?

From what I've read coal has been forund with C14 in it...and no radiation source was near by.

Of course then the OE'rs then need to claim it was contamination..of some other excuse to try and disprove the bible.

 

[Brightmoon]

If the coal is very old then it might not have a lot of radioactive material in a specific tiny sample, as it does decay . That’s not a reason for your claim Because it goes against normal high school level physics and chemistry

 

[Brightmoon]

If science disproves an erroneous belief then too bad .

 

[The Barbarian]

But as you vvery well know..it's there and it shouldn't be there...

You just learned that it should be there.

why?

Because where there is nitrogen and ionizing radiation, some of it will be ionized to C14. Brightmoon showed you the reaction mechanism. And just a bit of it will form from breakdown of radon and radium.

They are young....

As you now realize, your assumption was incorrect.

biomaterial found in dinosaurs...

Was predated by much more ancient biomaterial. Recently, cholesterol molecules were found in Precambrian deposits, demonstrating that animal life existed long before the "Cambrian explosion."

Cholesterol traces suggest these mysterious fossils were animals, not fungi

These alienlike organisms lived more than 541 million years ago

But even more important, biomaterial found in dinosaur fossils once again confirmed that birds evolved from dinosaurs.

Heme compounds in dinosaur trabecular bone

Raman profiles are also consistent with a modified heme structure. Finally, when dinosaurian tissues were extracted for protein fragments and were used to immunize rats, the resulting antisera reacted positively with purified avian and mammalian hemoglobins. The most parsimonious explanation of this evidence is the presence of blood-derived hemoglobin compounds preserved in the dinosaurian tissues.

Soft tissue found inside a 68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex leg bone dug up in Montana has provided compelling evidence that modern birds are the descendants of dinosaurs. The soft tissue, or gunk, contains collagen proteins. Scientists decoded these proteins and compared them with those of 21 living organisms. They found the dino proteins line up most closely with birds — an ostrich and chicken — than with any other creatures, including alligators and lizards.
Nine links in the transition from dinosaurs to birds

Cool, eh?

Turns out, there is uranium, thorium, radium, and radon in coal. So no external source needed. Would you like me to show you, again?

 

[Brightmoon]

Then there’s this lovely featherless chicken . That makes it kind of obvious that birds are dinosaurs

Not to mention that:

The remains of a 30-foot-long predatory dinosaur discovered along the banks of Argentina's Rio Colorado is helping to unravel how birds evolved their unusual breathing system.

U-M paleontologist Jeffrey Wilson was part of the team that made the discovery published Sept. 29 in the online journal Public Library of Science ONE. It builds on decades of paleontological research indicating that birds evolved from dinosaurs.

Birds have a breathing system that is unique among land animals. Instead of lungs that expand, birds have a system of bellows, or air sacs, which help pump air through the lungs. This novel feature is the reason birds can fly higher and faster than bats, which, like all mammals, expand their lungs in a less efficient breathing process.

Arriving at that understanding took some time. Laboratory technicians spent years cleaning and CT-scanning the bones, which were embedded in hard rock, finally to reveal the evidence of air sacs within Aerosteon's body cavity. Paleontologists previously had found only tantalizing evidence in the backbone, outside the cavity with the lungs.

Wilson worked with Sereno and the rest of the team to scientifically describe and interpret the find. The vertebrae, clavicles and hip bones bear small openings that lead into large, hollow spaces that would have been lined with a thin layer of soft tissue and filled with air in life. These chambers result from a process called pneumatization, in which outpocketings of the lungs (air sacs) invade the bones. Air-filled bones are the hallmark of the bellows system of breathing in birds and also are found in sauropods, the long-necked, long-tailed, plant-eating dinosaurs that Wilson studies.

"In sauropods, pneumaticity was key to the evolution of large body size and long necks; in birds it was key to the evolution of a light skeleton and flight," Wilson says. "The ancient history and evolutionary path of this feature is full of surprising turns, the explanations for which must account for their presence in a huge predator like Aerosteon and herbivores like Diplodocus, as well as in a chicken."

In the PLoS ONE paper, the team proposes three possible explanations for the evolution of air sacs in dinosaurs: development of a more efficient lung; reduction of upper body mass in tipsy two-legged runners; and release of excess body heat.
