Hello! Its been a few hours since I wrote the Carbon Dating, Part 1! And that explained why carbon dating does not work. This entry are some examples when carbon dating has failed. The information is gathered from various people and websites.
First, any live animal or any plant is supposed to be dated to 0. As you will see in a moment, it doesn't.
Someone once said: "If a C14 date supports our theories, we put it in the main text. If it does not entirely contradict them, we put it in as a footnote. And if its completely 'out of date', we drop it."
Someone else said that the accepted dates are selected dates.
In 1949, a mammoth was carbon dated. The mammoths lower leg dated back to 15 380 years, the skin and the flesh however, dated back to 21 300 years.
In 1963, a live mollusk dated shells were dated back to 2300 years old.
In 1971, a freshly killed seal was dated back to 1300 years ago.
In 1975, a mammoth was carbon dated, one part dated back to 29 500 years ago and the other part 44 000 years ago.
In 1975, a frozen baby mammoth was carbon dated, one part dated back to 40 000 years and another part 26 000.
In 1984, shells from a living snail was dated back to 27 000 years ago.
In 1992, 2 mammoths, found next to each other, were dated with the ages of 22 850 and 16 150.
20 year old hard lave was dated back to thousand of years (I cannot remember the precise date).
A pig skull that died in 1470, was dated back to 1,2 million years.
The list goes on and on and on. It is not logical to believe that carbon dating works. It never has worked, nothing that was ever carbon dated was every proved. So they might date something to 1,2 million years ago, but they don't know for sure so they accept that date. So they have no second opinion. So with all of this I believe that carbon dating does not work and it also does not prove that the earth is millions of years old.
Feel free to leave comments, email me with questions, suggestions for a next topic etc.

Sorry mate, but there have been papers explaining why carbon dating doesn't work with animals that live under water, it had something to do with the fact that in underwater environments there are different levels of C14, anyone relying on carbon dating should know this. If they continue to use carbon dating in areas of these pitfalls what can i say ,not all evolutions know their science as they should, the same way people don't know the bible as they should!
ReplyDeleteI had a look at the pig thing, could post a link to the original article all i could find was creationist sites claiming it as evidense personally i think they are a little biased ;)
Nice understanding by the way! And you simplflied the technique very well also.
So you admit, one of the assumptions they use are incorrect! The assumption that the same amount of C14 in the air is in all other objects.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the pig thing was in last years science book, I sold it, but if I remember correctly it was an Afrikaans book called "Verken Natuur wetenskappe" in English that's the study of biology.
I thank you for both reading and replying to my post!
