Sorry to kill it but cabon dating is rubbish and is a lie.
free christian teaching . org will tell you a lot more than I can, it is all referenced so none of it is made up
I will give you an overview:
Living penguins were dated at being 8,000 years old.
One part of a mammoth was dated at being 29,500 years old and another part being 44,000 years old (which one is it).
I have come to the following conclusion:
Carbon Dating we DON'T KNOW the age of, we ASSUME it is the age.
Carbon dating stuff we DO KNOW gets it WRONG!
Carbon dating was also used on dead animals, a freshly killed seal, 1,300 YEARS OLD?!!
We are not anti Bible.
I read the bible a lot.
I am amazed every time I read how great it is.
What we are anti-close minded.
Why must I take the bible literally with topics such as creation?
Why cant I say, as a christian
God did it through the natural processes HE created God did it through evolution.?
Most animals have eyes.
Most animals have lungs.
Most animals have blood.
Most animals have hearts.
Most animals have bowels.
Most animals have hearts.
Most animals have a nervous system.
Most animals have brains.
Most animals have bones.
Most animals have ears.
Most animals have skin.
Most animals share common design, but are simply rearranged in shape and colors that make one animal type unique from another.
Now if almost all animals share all these complex organs and physical attributes?
How could eyes happen by chance in thousands of different animals? Lungs? Hearts? Teeth? Noses? Ears? Stomachs? Intestines? Livers? All happen by chance independently from one another?
Looking at the ultra complexity that so many animals share in common? How can one believe that each type of animal started out as an independent entity onto itself millions of years ago? If one believes evolution is the means by which we got from the Triassic period to here? It would have to mean we all share one common ancestor. Or do you believe all these same attributes developed in different animals independently from one another by chance?
If not? Then most animals would have all begun by chance, and by chance all develop eyes, ears, hearts, lungs, and everything we share commonly by design! Kidneys? Spleens? Livers? Blood vessels? Blood? All happened by chance? Sexual organs?
We all had to come from a common ancestor. Not possible.
The Bible does explain, though.
This is going years back..
I was fortunate to hear a retired Harvard Professor exegeting from a Hebrew a passage found in Jeremiah. He showed and explained that a generic Hebrew term was used for describing man at a time that preexisted Adam.
This passage looked back at the destruction of all life on earth. Utterly destroyed. Jeremiah was using prophetic words as a warning to Israel. It was a reminder to the Jews concerning God's power and ability to judge and overwhelmingly destroy.
Much to my surprise. Jeremiah's warning opened with the same Hebrew words used in Genesis 1:2. Words that speak of the earth being in a state of utter destruction and laid waste.. having an eerie sense of emptiness hanging over it. To simply show this passage to you in a generic English translation and not tell you what the Hebrew wording reveals? Would leave you wondering the significance of such a passage. But, in the Hebrew it reveals detail and a thrust that speaks of a complete devastation of the previous creation.
Jeremiah 4:23-27
" I looked at the earth,
and it was formless and empty;
and at the heavens,
and their light was gone.
24 I looked at the mountains,
and they were quaking;
all the hills were swaying.
25 I looked, and there were no people;
every bird in the sky had flown away.
26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;
all its towns lay in ruins
before the LORD, before his fierce anger.
27 This is what the LORD says:
"The whole land will be ruined,
though I will not destroy it completely.
Jeremiah's warning intro begins the same Hebrew words of Genesis 1:2. Why would the Holy Spirit chose words to warn of utter devastation and destruction coming to Israel? If, Genesis 1:2 does not speak of a completely destroyed world?
The Jews understood the Hebrew of Genesis 1:2 spoke of judgment and complete ruin. That is why Jeremiah had to finish his warning with an addendum. That God would not completely destroy Israel. For, Genesis 1:2 speaks of a complete and total destruction of the prehistoric earth.
A prehistoric world where the Bible says a humanoid creation was living. Its not until this creation that man was first created in God's image. Hence, why a generic term was used by Jeremiah to descibe what was called 'people.' In the prior creation what was called man most likely had the highest level of intelligence of all life on earth. But, I would guess they must have been quite ugly in comparison. Neanderthals or semi ape-like in appearance. For it says it was not until Genesis 6 that angels first found the women of men attractive. But I digress...
In Christ, GeneZ

No takers?

your link is a lie.
And a blatant tool of deception.
Carbon dating only works if something is 20K+ years old if I'm not mistaken, and the science buffs 'round here will back me up. of course those things carbon dated wrong; the morons trying to carbon date weren't using the correct methods. Of course, they weren't medical students or anything...
Penguins have been around for 8000+ years.
Mammoths have been around 20-40K years ago.
Carbon dating also is not the only way to date ancient objects. Radiometric dating is another among others. Spetral analysis included.
Stop trying to decieve with this bad info.
Humans are older than six thousand times three-hundred sixty-five sun-rises.
Hahaha, you may not have all your facts straight, (i.e. mammoth evolution or carbon dating performance range) but I have to hand it to you - you're passionate about what you know to be true.
if you read the article you will see that carbon dating works when animals and plants get their carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contains both ordinary carbon 12 and radioactive carbon 14. The ratio of C14 to C12 is the same as it is in the atmosphere, but when the plant or animal dies, it is no longer getting new carbon from the atmosphere and the radioactive C14 slowly decay. The longer an organism has been dead, the less C14 there will be. Now while the article explains this, there is a slight problem when it quotes penguins as evidence against carbon dating... The question you have to ask yourself is, do penguin get their carbon from atmospheric carbon? They eat fish. Aquatic plants do take up carbon dioxide when is passed up the food chain, but while some of the CO2 comes from the atmosphere, there is also plenty of CO2 in the seas that is much more ancient sources. You simply can't carbon date aquatic organisms, carbon dating relies on the carbon coming directly from the atmosphere. Watch out for this when you read Creationist sources, they keep quoting carbon dating of penguins, seals and aquatic snails.Sorry to kill it but cabon dating is rubbish and is a lie.

Apparently these two dates come from different mammothsOne part of a mammoth was dated at being 29,500 years old and another part being 44,000 years old (which one is it).
Again seals eat fish, they don't get their carbon from eating grass. Science is well aware that levels of C14 in the atmosphere depend on solar activity and has varied in the past, which is why carbon dating is calibrated against sources where the age of the sample is know, such as tree rings and varves.I have come to the following conclusion:

C-14 dating is erratic.Theres plenty of info around.You cant give absolute dates using this method.of course those things carbon dated wrong; the morons trying to carbon date weren't using the correct methods. Of course, they weren't medical students or anything...
Stop trying to decieve by claiming dating methods are absolute and infallible.They arent.Carbon dating also is not the only way to date ancient objects. Radiometric dating is another among others. Spetral analysis included.
Stop trying to decieve with this bad info.
You havent addressed any problems with this assertion at all.You simply dont see anything contrary to whats been inculcated in your mind.You didnt refuteHumans are older than six thousand times three-hundred sixty-five sun-rises.
Clarify for the class please.You are saying that anything that ingests water or is made up of water cant be dated accurately?Anything that eats fish cant be dated accurately?if you read the article you will see that carbon dating works when animals and plants get their carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contains both ordinary carbon 12 and radioactive carbon 14.

Unfortunately tree rings and varves arent exact either.Again seals eat fish, they don't get their carbon from eating grass.

Ok.I dont believe in a 6000 year old earth and the bible doesnt actually teach this anyway,but theres no way it teaches that mans older than 6000 odd years.Thats false.I think the biggest mistake in the article is the repeated claim and the title of the article: Carbon Dating Only Works if the Bible is Rubbish.
No that is not right. It is just their interpretation of the bible that is wrong. God's word is a lot bigger than our ability to misunderstand what it is telling us and how God speaks to us in his word.
The problem is, this is Jeremiah's vision of the coming destruction of Judea by the Babylonians. It certainly refers back to Genesis, to say Jerusalem Judea would be as desolate as the earth was before the God created plants and animals, but he is describing Judea in the future, not how telling us the earth became formless and void in Genesis.The Bible does explain, though.

nephilem, etc...
but the Bible is still just an old explanation of how everything happened. but science explains these things as well.
God's image = a reflection of the entire universe
previous creation, now creation, new creation....gold jacket, green jacket...
such as why the Bible explain these things the same way as other creeds; a synchronism exists within all religions.
Details, all in the details. People become divided...but its still synchronism.
You have to let go of the notion that religion is GOD. Religion is a set of rituals that can help us, help each other, on the path to understanding god. Religions are of man’s construct and have all the frailties that go along with any group of people.No, not Nephilim. That came much later in this creation, in Genesis 6!
You are really in NO POSITION to evaluate the Bible. You understand nothing, and come here in pretense
of having it all figured out. All you want to do is push evolution in Christians clothing. You HAVE SHOWN
YOU know nothing.
You may quote a little about the love of Christ, but even a thief seeks mercy when he's been caught.
You speak like an unbeliever who claims to be a believer.
Who should I believe?
"Its just another religion." "OH! But I am a Christian!"You use the same arguments that atheists use all the time to show why Christianity is vanity,
yet claim to know the Bible better than those who see right through you. If you only truly knew
what you were dealing with, you would simply say that you like certain things about Christianity,
and then give your secularized version on creation called "evolution got us here."
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE BIBLE? YOU CAN NOT DISPROVE WHAT EVOLUTIONISTS BELIEVE. HERE'S WHY!
No, not Nephilim. That came much later in this creation, in Genesis 6!

The older something is the more accurate the dating procedure will be?
The greater the range,the more accurate your findings will be?
No.Wrong.False.
C-14 dating is erratic.Theres plenty of info around.You cant give absolute dates using this method.
Stop trying to decieve by claiming dating methods are absolute and infallible.They arent.
You didnt refute
.1.Actual lack of transitional evidence.In fact i distinctly remember you agreeing with my points regarding neanderthals,and glossing over the rarity of habilis fossils.I have some doozies regarding australopithicus fossils,however ill keep that up my sleeve.
.2.You never addressed the problems of population rate and the claim humanity has been here for 120,000 years.Simply ignored it.Im guessing in your alternate world there were terminator machines roaming the countryside keeping the population low right?
and upward progression of monkeyish to man is based on increased cranial capacity when you conceded that it actually has no co-relation.It does not mean that anything is getting smarter.This throws the apparent fossil record into disarray.
.4.You cant read skulls anyway.Unless you have something living that is very similar to base your assumptions off.You ignored this also.
.5.You will ignore these points.
Hahaha, you may not have all your facts straight, (i.e. mammoth evolution or carbon dating performance range) but I have to hand it to you - you're passionate about what you know to be true.
