  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Haha, YEC is proved foreverrrrrrrrr!

Ok, so I just thought I'd put an inflammatory title in order to get more people to jump on here. I'm having trouble understanding the differences in rubidium-strontium, potassium-argon, and samarium-neodymium dating methods reported on this site: http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v1/n1/radioactive-dating

I'd really like to understand it so I can rebut it on another site.

Appreciation to all who help.

Oh, and I was under the impression that basalt was mostly found on ocean shelves, and rarely creeps up through the continents. Maybe someone can add to my mental model of this, or amend my model.

Thank you.


I will get back to you on radiogenic dating, but your second post is easier to answer.

The largest volumes of basaltic magma is erupted and emplaced at oceanic ridges.

Next would come oceanic plateaus (the oceanic equivalent of large igneous provinces on continents)

Then continental large igneous provinces.

Probably the next geological setting would be subjection zones

Here’s a link to a talk origins critique of Creationist work on Grand Canyon basalts, not the ones that are Precambrian, but it does highlight the failings, sometimes purposely to deceive their creationist flock into thinking they are doing good science, WHICH THEY ARE NOT,

Reading the linked article; they have used the same crap as always. That is radiogenic decay changes through time, this of course is complete magical mysticism and they know it.

If it could be proved and/or show that decay rates in the past were billions of times (yes we are talking billion) faster than now, the person/s would be more famous than Albert and be standing in Stockholm receiving their piece of history.

Anyway it is just not radiometric data they have to change, it is also geology, biology, chemistry “well it’s easier to say “they need to change everything we know about the natural sciences”.

If want they proposed was true, the earth would look like this.

I'm about to read the article you listed, but in regards to the pic of the molten mass, I think this article http://www.asa3.org/asa/resources/wiens.html#page%2019 indicates the same thing: that the earth would have melted if all the radiometric decay sped up at various times.

will get to reading now...

AIG if the world's foremost LFJ™ (Liars For Jesus) website... and not a single thing that they say is trustworthy, or can be taken at face-value. To understand why, go to the AIG web site and search for 'Statement of Faith'. Look at the last item on the page.
