Fundamentally Flawed Carbon-14 Assumptions and the Age of the Earth
"Just a minute, Cowboy Bob! We all know that 14 C has nothing to do with the age of the Earth!" For the most part, that is true. Uniformitarian scientists use long-term dating methods, test meteorites and select a result that best fits their presuppositions . It would be better for all if they were more scientific and actually examined their starting points. Using uniformitarian assumptions, Carbon-14 should not exist in many items. But it does exist. People make excuses for it, including " contamination " and testing errors. (That casts aspersions on the labs doing the testing, and should undermine their confidence in the testing methods in general.) Actually, Carbon-14 is a serious threat to the idea of an ancient Earth, and far better supports creationist Flood geology. Evolutionists have long used the carbon-14, or radiocarbon, dating technique as a “hammer” to bludgeon Bible-believing Christians. A straightforward reading of the Bible describes...
