The Earth is likely aged in the order of billions. This investigation reviews and challenges radiocarbon dating accuracy. Challenging scientific results is HEALTHY.
Often, science becomes skewed by political views or by ego-centric behaviors. The so-called science of evolution is riddled with contradictions, and what’s worse is the reaction of those that tout the defective scientific results. Instead of accepting objective criticism and evidence contradicting herd mentality quasi-accepted results, the science culprits may tend to circle the wagons and attempt to smear, dismiss, slander their critics.
That happens now with AGW ‘Climate Change’.
I do not accept a six-thousand-year-old Earth as evidenced by biblical scripture. But I do not see the ICR people basing beliefs of Earth’s age on misconstrued interpretations of Genesis. I have read Genesis a few times and find no inconsistencies with an Earth that can be billions of years old. One point I use is that Adam’s age was possibly measured from expulsion, not from creation. I also fail to see how the heavens and the firmaments were created in 7 ‘days’ when a day is relative to the body spinning on its axis. In other words, the words of scripture are not specific and are not pinned to hard reference points, hence no accurate timeline can be constructed. Thus, I conclude scripture is not inconsistent, and therefore not false. Is it ‘True’? That’s a matter of belief. But nothing in it is unequivocally taking the value ‘False’.
Kudos then to ISR for conducting tests to verify and validate the dogma of radiocarbon dating.
Agreed
