Have you read the article?

No, I don't intend to waste my time on it. The earth is old -- very old -- and no amount of pseudo-science will change that.

In the following Abstract from the PDF, the 14 in 14C and the -14 in 7.3 X 10-14 should be read as superscripts. I can't find my HTML code book. LOL.

ABSTRACT

Given the short 14C half-life of 5730 years, organic materials purportedly older than 250,000 years, corresponding to 43.6 half-lives, should contain absolutely no detectable 14C. (One gram of modern carbon contains about 6 x 1010 14C atoms, and 43.6 half-lives should reduce that number by a factor of 7.3 x 10-14.) An astonishing discovery made over the past twenty years is that, almost without exception, when tested by highly sensitive accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) methods, organic samples from every portion of the Phanerozoic record show detectable amounts of 14C! 14C/C ratios from all but the youngest Phanerozoic samples appear to be clustered in the range 0.1-0.5 pmc (percent modern carbon), regardless of geological ‘age.’ A straightforward conclusion that can be drawn from these observations is that all but the very youngest Phanerozoic organic material was buried contemporaneously much less than 250,000 years ago. This is consistent with the Biblical account of a global Flood that destroyed most of the air-breathing life on the planet in a single brief cataclysm only a few thousand years ago.

Do you have the education required to evaluate and understand the article?

[Quix]

Obviously you were there in the beginning and can reliably affirm such.

Who knows?

My exceedingly brilliant Mormon dissertation chairman once wisely commented (when I asked him how he handled the many changes to the supposedly unchanged Book of Mormon):

LIFE IS SO COMPLEX, JUST ABOUT ANY COCKAMAYMEE EXPLANATION WILL DO.

We are finite critters.

Even our "recorded history" may well fail to record plenty of critical facts.

The "fossile record" may well fail to have recorded plenty of critical facts.

Our understanding of "physics" is turned this way and that and sometimes on it's head with recent discoveries. We haven't the DISTANCE in time nor geography to pontificate TRULY AUTHORITATIVELY about much of anything.

PERHAPS ALL THIS IS some kind of super virtual reality in God's comptuer. How could we know?

A variety of explanations are possible.

I'm skeptical about the earth being as young as 6,000-10,000 years old!!! Goodness, there are evidently Chinese villages from 7,000 years ago.

But neither am I convinced that the dating methods and postulations of the evolutionists are 100.0000% correct either.

THERE ARE TOO MANY UNKNOWNS THAT WE HAVE RELATIVELY NO ACCESS TO IN TIME AND/OR DISTANCE to base any TOTALLY RELIABLE pontifications on.

We are silly critters. All sides will continue to pontificate.

And, eventually, God will show all sides to have been exceedingly and pathetically ignorant and arrogant.

Have you ever posted an article that claimed the earth was old...very old?

[f.Christian]

I watched a tv special about ayres rock in australia and it was the most convoluted evolution bs I'd ever seen .

My theory -- explantion is ... it's an underground blowup - out --- through a soft spot hole in the earth's crust - plate !

If evolution was true and these were plates turned sideways ... their would be some fossil evidence in them and my theory would make their presence nearly impossible --- they could be drawn in from the surface and resurfaced in the extruding process !

* Here it is * ...


Most of the canyons and gorges (( revealing layers forming below surface cambrian layers )) actually formed by drying - shrinking cracks ... water naturally flowing through them because of their lower elevations - depth !

At some point plates collapsed upon themselves forming rocky mountains and some fragmenting - opening allowing islands and mountains to protrude - rise above and through the plate valley - ocean floor edges !

Heating and cooling would have changed the size of the earth ... probably hot --- very small !

Starting to cool forming a surface crust ... getting larger again --- and then like a cake bubbling rising up sections and with more cooling drying cracks !

Towards the center top middle half of the geologic column life forms appear fully formed ... cambrian explosion --- nothing below !

While the top layers were being formed from flooding and volcanic activity ... most of the column layers were formed from below and at the same time forming most of the above ground ... i.e., buttes - hills - mountains -- surface plate geography we see today --- not enough time for all this evolution nonsense that wouldn't be possible with unlimited time anyway --- pure fantasy- fiction !


Cambrian plates are on mountain tops and rising mountains would raise plate and ocean floors to various elevations !

All this geology and life washing out of a mudball is OBVIOUSLY an evolution hoax -- legend !

I agree, the earth is very old. Several thousand years old, in fact.

Los Alamos scientists are pseudo scientists? Ok.

"No, I don't intend to waste my time on it. The earth is old -- very old -- and no amount of pseudo-science will change that."

So much for evidence informing your decision, huh?

[discipler]

How do you know? The earth is billions of years old because evolution needs a lot of time to fool people into believing it's possible. You and I are the only sane ones, and I'm beginning to wonder about you. :0

"No, I don't intend to waste my time on it. The earth is old -- very old -- and no amount of pseudo-science will change that."

Do you suppose God could have used old, very old, stuff to create earth?
