Is carbon-14 dating accurate? (read the whole article or dont answer)?
Question:
Answer:
Yes it is really accurate. However, who cares??
This is absurd because Carbon-14 dating is not used to prove ANY of the claims your article says C-14 dating is used for. It is not used to date the Earth's origin, as it can only be used for the past 60,000 years. It is not used by evolutionists to prove evolution. It is not used for any of this. Your article actually says that C14 dating can be used to date things that are millions of years old- yet no scientific claims have ever been made dating anything with C-14 for more than 60,000 years. This is a bald-faced lie. It simply can't be done. Your article is complete bull and any true Christian would be ashamed of spreading such untruth.
You are doing nothing more than tilting at windmills. No one with any scientific knowledge will pay you any attention, because your own article states that it has no proof of Creationism, when it says "those that point to a young earth, rely on unprovable assumptions. "
Mostly those that point to a young earth rely on ignorance (which includes ignorance of the Bible).
The religion that is afraid of science dishoners God and commits suicide.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
And again, why ask a question if you are just going to answer it there?
thats a very interesting article.never read such a thing.after reading i think i should say that our science was lways like this.we keep on changing thiongs until what we observe was achieved thru our calculation.
then evrything we know about dinosaurs is wrong?well their calculations cant be all assumptions.they must have some solid base.
This entire posting is a meaningless noise.. If you really are religously minded, forget all this crap and just go find God.
Good grief. You want to proselytize? Find a street corner.
Radiometric dating: A christian perspective.
Written by real scientists, laying out the mainstream, ridiculously well -accepted science behind radioactive dating.
It is true that there are problems with all dating methods, but Archeaologists, Paleontologists, etc. all know this. Usually, as many dating methods as possible are applied. And, interestingly, errors generally make things seem younger, rather than older. There's something that alot of Christian scientists forget. Most of the scientists who discovered (and continue to discover) the ancient-ness of the Earth and evolution, etc. were Christians. Many of them were very upset by their findings, but they were also Scientists. Real Scientists. And real Scientists accept observable evidence above mythology.
You're not going to convince any enlightened person by waving a book at them. Not unless you have several non-derivative books by several different, unrelated authors that reach the same conclusion.
My mythology (ancient Greek) supports ancient Earth and evolution and even if it didn't, it wouldn't stop me from ignoring observable evidence! I'm smart enough to know that mythology is metaphore.
Yes up to 60000 years BC.
Radiocarbon dating is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring isotope carbon-14 to determine the age of carbonaceous materials up to ca 60,000 years. Within archaeology it is considered an absolute dating technique. The technique was discovered by Willard Frank Libby and his colleagues in 1949 during his tenure as a professor at the University of Chicago. Libby estimated that the steady state radioactivity concentration of exchangeable 14C would be about 14 disintegrations per minute (dpm) per gram carbon (ca. 230 mBq/g). In 1960, Libby was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his method to use carbon-14 for age determination.
