  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

You are blabbering. You doodled, and failed. You could not even post a real world example.

I already did post a real world example. You ignored it.

We have NONE from the early days of man.
Don't pretend.

I am not talking about the early days of man. I am talking about DNA found at crime scenes.

Do you really think should throw out that evidence because no one was there to witness the suspect leaving that DNA at the crime scene?

Not true. You spammed a doodle graph you made yourself. Now if you did cite some example long ago somewhere, like say, in some deposit that was 'reset' by lava, that doesn't apply to the former state. Since no one knows what if any actual example in the real world you are talking about we cannot address it.

Talk somewhere else then. This thread is about radioactive dating and especially the far past. This is not about modern crime scenes.

You HAVE no DNA from ancient man of the time periods in question here. Focus. No one left DNA at the scenes that is the topic of the thread, such as from the people that built the ancient mounds in a pattern that I gave the link for.

I am using it as example of how you deny evidence.

Do we have to witness a suspect leaving DNA at a crime scene before we can use it as evidence?

Tektites? Ha.

"near-surface terrestrial sediments and rocks were either melted, vaporized, or some combination of these and ejected from an impact crater. After ejection from the impact crater, the material formed millimeter- to centimeter-sized bodies of molten material, which as they re-entered the atmosphere, rapidly cooled to form tektites that fell to Earth to create a layer of distal ejecta hundreds or thousands of kilometers away from the impact site"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tektite

Your pic shows a small change in isotopic composition in these possibly fountain of the deep ejecta. You have tried to assign great ages to these, based on your religious misconception that radioactive decay caused these differences. Same old same old.

This time, rather than your personal doodle art, you used religious art. Ho hum.

Thanks for confirming that you are on some religious loop and cannot deal with the truth of what we are discussing here. The glaring reality is that you failed to provide any DNA whatsoever from the ancient folks I cited. It is a cheap diversion to try and pretend modern DNA has anything to do with the former times. Gong.

I make no such assumption. If the K/Ar and U/Pb ratios do not fall on that line, then it disproves my claims.

Those are direct measurements of isotope concentrations. Nothing religious about them.

Focus on why they fall in line and do so in the real world.

False, the belief based spin you place on why the ratios exist is on the carpet here.

Radioactivity now exists. I have not seen proof it existed in the early history of earth. Has anyone else found proof or evidence for that? As it stands....I doubt it!
I have not seen proof that you existed prior to my join date.

Why would I listen to a 9 year old on science matters?

That does not prove our physics existed in the far past..gong. That just demonstrates a weak grip on sanity.

That's exactly what I have done. Read my posts.

It is based on evidence, not belief.

Your unproven claim about any state or laws in the past is not logic, only religion.
I'm not making any claim. Besides, how do you know you haven't already lost this argument in a different state past?

You don't know? Not only do we know, but we know that the radioactive isotope decay constants were absolutely constant.

I want to get a bet down on this. I will provide the irrefutable evidence, you will deny it.

You really thought they knew?! Ha. Well, if you can settle that question, fine. I suspect it will take about 30 seconds to expose your approach as something other than fact based..but let's see what you got. I am always ready to tweak my ideas of how and why God was right all along, and how science was wrong.

The ratio of isotopes in rocks and the measured half life of those isotopes is not a belief. It is a direct observation.
The ratio is not an issue. Strawman. Obviously creation would have had some stuff there even before the current nature started to do what it does with atoms. A big gong for you.
