Unreliability of Radiometric Dating and Old Age of the Earth. It looks like C1.
Dr. Libby, the discoverer of the C1. Nobel prize, expressed his shock that human artifacts extended back only 5. Older dates were found to be very unreliable (CRSQ , 1.
By this time tens of thousands of C1. In the annual volumes in which the dates are published, concerns have been expressed about many relatively young dates that violate established geological age notions. One example given was Ice- Age materials that were dated by C1. Christian era (CRSQ , 1. In his book on prehistoric America, Ceram notes a classic case of the difficulties that befall C1.

Bones 3. 0,0. 00 years old were found lying above wood dated at 1. Ceram, 1. 97. 1, p. Another classic C1. Jarmo, a prehistoric village in northern Iraq. Eleven samples were dated from the various strata and showed a 6. Analysis of all the archaeological evidence, however, showed that the village was occupied no more than 5. Custance, 1. 96. 8, Mortar samples can be given normal C1.
Mortar, however, from Oxford Castle in England gave an age of 7,2. The castle was built about 8. The kind of contamination is unclear. Living trees near an airport were dated with C1. CRSQ , 1. 97. 0, 7: 2, p. Data produced by the Petroleum Institute at Victoria, New Zealand, showed that petroleum deposits were formed 6,0. Textbooks state that petroleum formation took place about 3.

CRSQ , 1. 96. 8, 5: 2, p. Here is a remarkable example of C1. Stanford University Press. Six C1. 4 ages were determined from a core in an attempt to date the formation of the Bering Land Bridge. The dates ranged from 4.
Before Present. The first problem was that the results were so disarranged from bottom to top of the core that no two samples were in the correct order. Then the oldest date was discarded because it was 'inconsistent' with other tests elsewhere. Next the remaining dates were assumed to be contaminated by a fixed amount, after which the authors concluded that the delta under study had been formed 1. Hopkins, 1. 96. 7, p. Even more astonishing is this cynical statement made at a symposium of Nobel Prize winners in Uppsala, Sweden, in 1. If a C1. 4 date supports our theories, we put it in the main text.
If it does not entirely contradict them, we put it in a footnote. And if it is completely 'out of date,' we just drop it (Pensee , Winter 1. As for the contamination issue, someone asserted that any C1. If this is so, then why do they say the method is accurate to 5. If any C1. 4 date has ever yielded a value over 3.
Of course, it could be that older measurement techniques were less accurate. Now, 3. 0,0. 00 years is about 5 half lives of C1. This is a substantial contamination. Anyway, as for C1. Here is another instance of an anomalously young carbon 1.
At the 1. 99. 2 Twin Cities Creation Conference, there was a paper presented called . Among other things, the results of carbon- dating of Acrocanthosaurus bones are given. The authors noted that dinosaur bones are frequently (. The authors speculated that this residue could be the leftovers of the decayed skin and flesh: they quote the Penguin Geology Encyclopedia's definition of . An unusual kind of fossilization in which the tissue is preserved as a carbon film. Plants are commonly preserved in this manner, soft- bodied animals more rarely.
The authors describe in detail the measures taken to ensure that no other source of carbon contamination was present inside or outside the bones. When the bones were ground up and carbon- dated, the dates they received from the lab from different methods were 9,8. BP (before present). Some have claimed that this bone was covered with shellac, causing the carbon 1. Concerning this issue, one individual sent me the following information: The papers of Miller's that are cited by Lepper are: Fields, W., H. Whitmore, D. Detwiler, J. Whitelaw, and G. Novaez, 1.
Walsh and C. L. 1. Christian Science Fellowship, Pittsburgh. Kouznetsov, A. Whitmore, G. Detwiler, and H. Miller, 1. The above two articles are the ones that purportedly refer to carbon 1.
The article I referred to is the following: . In this paper, the authors describe in detail the measures taken to ensure that no other source of carbon contamination was present inside or outside the bones. The fact that these are separate papers, and the fact that every attempt was made to avoid contamination, suggests that these are two different incidents. I also received the following information from another person: As far as I can ascertain from the paper, the researchers responsible specifically mention that the dinosaur bones being dated were not coated with shellac (page 1. Otherwise, the details of the material at your website are as in the paper, and the comment about a black carbon residue around fossilised dinosaur bones is referenced in their paper to a secular source, so it is not simply their observation. The comments from the Penguin Geology Encyclopedia merely add to their case. However, of the results they give in their paper, I personally would only be comfortable with the AMS results obtained on the same sample in two different laboratories - the one at 2.
BP and the other at 2. BP. The other results were obtained on unspecified equipment or via the less reliable older beta technology and generally appear not to have been cross- checked in another laboratory.
Again I confirm that the claim about the shellac appears to be totally false and merely a smokescreen to avoid the implications of an uncomfortable radiocarbon date. So, based on all of this information, it looks like there were two separate incidents, and the one I referred to involved a dinosaur bone that was not covered with shellac, but still gave a young carbon 1. A survey of the 1. Radiocarbon, revealed the following significant facts: 2. Of the dates of 9. Only three of the 1. Herpes Dating Site Australia Immigration here. Some samples of coal, oil, and natural gas, all supposedly many millions of years old, have radiocarbon ages of less than 5.
Deep ocean deposits supposed to contain remains of the most primitive life forms are dated within 4. I think it is interesting that so few specimens have old dates, suggesting a rapid increase in the amount of carbon 1. On the same subject, some fossils from the Paluxy River are . Carbonized (burnt) wood was discovered in Cretaceous limestone, and dated to 1. YBP. Coffin gives quite a bit of evidence from increases of C1.
C1. 4 has increased rapidly in recent years, making C1. The fact that C1. It has been claimed that Carbon 1. But it remains to establish how much in error the old dates were. It seems to be a common pattern that when dating methods are revised, we are told how inaccurate the old methods were, but are not told how inaccurate the current methods are.
A number of people requested references for my statements about young carbon 1. Consider this: if a specimen is older than 5. C1. 4 that for practical purposes it would show an infinite radiocarbon age. So it was expected that most deposits such as coal, gas, etc. In fact, of thousands of dates in the journals Radiocarbon and Science to 1.
This is especially remarkable with samples of coal and gas supposedly produced in the Carboniferous period 3. Some examples of dates which contradict orthodox (evolutionary) views: Coal from Russia from the . Natural gas from Alabama and Mississippi (Cretaceous and Eocene, respectively) should have been 5. C1. 4 gave dates of 3. Many of the earlier radiocarbon dates on objects such as coal and gas, which should be undatable, have been attributed to contamination from, for example, workers' fingerprints, creationist researchers are currently working on the construction of an apparatus, using existing technology, to look for very low levels of C1. Such low- level activity would not be expected on the basis of old earth theory, and so is not looked for at present.) Bones of a sabre- toothed tiger from the La. Brea tar pits (near Los Angeles), supposedly 1.
