One would think Snelling could have gone to a more recent source if dating methods are as bad as he would like you to think. Instead he digs up some confusing results from a paper in 1976. I guess that was the best he had to work with, and besides, that makes it safer since few people can pull up the original source and see what they say.

More ad hominem.

The facts are that the dating is based on assumptions of a certain level of C14 and if that level was in fact smaller than thought, it would give an appearance of it being older.
