Back in the early 1990's I read several academic papers on paleontological discoveries that basically said, right in the study, (paraphrasing) We had the rocks radio-carbon dated and the result was an age of between X and Y hundred thousand years ago, but when comparing these fossils with fossils in strata above and below, we realized that that dating must be incorrect, so we sent samples out to a different lab, and got different results which ere more inline with what we expected, so they must be the correct figures.

I'll give a couple more for my brethren: 😇 1. Gravity doesn't actually exist as the earth has a north pole, a south pole, and magnetic fields... just like a magnet. Also an aircraft that goes missing in the Bermuda triangle is caused by magnetic storms. 2. Abiogenesis theory lacks initial causation and biogenesis is an absolute fact as babies are born daily in hospitals around the world. 3. Time dilation theory is impossible because time is intangible and relevant throughout the universe. Also the magnetic fields of the earth interfered with the experiment and I already stated that gravity doesn't actually exist. 4. The quantum realm doesn't actually exist as there's only one observable realm and this reality is all relevant, meaning all quantum theories are unreliable to begin with as these theories are ultimately biased opinions that are not based in facts. 5. Random, happenstance, spontaneous means "I don't know the initial cause for the mechanics of these cyclic processes I'm observing in nature, so it's random/happenstance/spontaneous." 6. There is only one known habitable planet with life in the entire universe. (Can you guess what it is?) Hint: 🌎 7. Dinosaur fossils are a hoax, made of various materials like clay, plaster, and even chicken bones like the dinosaur fossils found in China. Museums never allow the public to experiment or even observe the actual fake dino fossils "in the basement" of the museum to validify for themselves.... they say to preserve and not damage it, but that's obviously a lie.

Dating methods used by scientists to determine the age of objects can be broadly categorized into two main types: relative dating methods and absolute dating methods. Relative dating methods provide the age of an object relative to another, while absolute dating methods provide a numerical age estimation. Here's a comprehensive list of some common dating methods: Relative Dating Methods: 1. Stratigraphy: Examining the layering of sedimentary rocks or archaeological remains to determine their relative age based on their position in the sequence. 2. Law of Superposition: A principle stating that in undisturbed rock layers, the oldest rocks are at the bottom, and the youngest are at the top. 3. Seriation: Arranging objects or events in chronological order based on changes in style or design over time. 4. Cross-cutting relationships: Analyzing features like faults or intrusions that cut across rock layers to determine their relative ages. 5. Fluorine dating: Comparing the accumulation of fluorine in bones or fossils to determine relative age, assuming that older materials contain more fluorine. 6. Biostratigraphy: Correlating and dating rock layers based on the fossils found within them, using the known age ranges of specific fossil species. 7. Palynology: Studying and dating ancient environments based on the analysis of pollen and spores preserved in sediments. 8. Tephrochronology: Dating volcanic ash layers (tephra) by matching their unique chemical compositions to known volcanic events. Absolute Dating Methods: 1. Radiometric dating: Using the decay of radioactive isotopes in minerals to determine the absolute age of rocks and fossils. Common radiometric dating methods include: - Carbon-14 dating (for organic materials up to about 50,000 years old). - Potassium-argon dating (for volcanic rocks and minerals). - Uranium-lead dating (for rocks and minerals containing uranium and lead isotopes). - Rubidium-strontium dating. - Samarium-neodymium dating. - Argon-argon dating. 2. Dendrochronology: Analyzing tree-ring patterns to establish the age of wooden objects or to reconstruct past environmental conditions. 3. Varve chronology: Counting annual layers of sediment in glacial lake deposits to determine the age of the sediments and associated events. 4. Thermoluminescence dating: Measuring the accumulated radiation dose in certain minerals to estimate the time since they were last heated or exposed to sunlight. 5. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating: Determining the time since sediment grains were last exposed to sunlight using light-sensitive traps in minerals. 6. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dating: Dating materials that have been exposed to natural radiation, such as tooth enamel and some carbonate deposits. 7. Fission track dating: Determining the age of volcanic glass and other materials by counting the tracks created by spontaneous fission of uranium. 8. Amino acid dating: Dating organic materials like bones by measuring the racemization of amino acids. It's important to note that the choice of dating method depends on the type of material being dated and the age range of interest. Different methods have varying degrees of accuracy and applicability, and often multiple dating techniques are used in combination to cross-validate results.

[@bossxaustin]

@@raysalmon6566 @raysalmon6566, it doesn't even matter if the dates are off by some millions of years because it still proves that the Earth is over 6000 years old, rendering their argument pointless. Disproving radiometric dating does not disprove the entirety of evolution, mutation, and even biology. Sure, it may raise some questions, but it doesn't invalidate the entire concept. However, radiometric dating is just one of many dating methods used in science. Even if there were some uncertainties or issues with radiometric dating (which have been extensively addressed and refined by scientists), it would not undermine the vast body of evidence supporting evolutionary theory and the principles of biology. Evolution is supported by multiple lines of evidence, including genetics, the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and observations of natural selection in action. These diverse pieces of evidence converge to paint a coherent and well-substantiated picture of the process of evolution. Thus, challenging one dating method does not diminish the robustness of evolutionary theory or the scientific foundation of biology.

I hope someone is keeping precise and accurate track of the decay rates through time now (say from the 1950's onward). Because it would be fascinating to see if the decay rates change even the smallest amount over time. And if they're not lying about it staying precisely the same. I had someone online claiming to be an expert tell me that #1: They are keeping track of this. And #2: That the decay rates are exactly the same as back in the 1950's. But I have NEVER seen an actual chart or measurement of this. I've seen zero data. So I am very very curious -- but it seems like the scientific establishment just assumes or doesn't care to reveal any real data to the public. Which makes me suspect in the first place.

[@fizzy4149]

I'm so glad I saw this video because I can really help clarify a few points. The speaker as well as many of you here will be very interested in learning that there are several situations in which the amount of the daughter isotope is known!! For example, any lead (a daughter isotope of uranium) found in a zircon crystal must have been produced by the radioactive decay of uranium. This is because it is a well known fact that zircon, when crystallized, completely excludes lead. Thus, here's one situation where the exact amount of the daughter isotope (which is lead) is known with certainty (the crystal begins with 0% lead). There are also methods that can be applied to determine a rock's age whereby knowing the initial amount of the daughter isotope is unnecessary!! Look up the "isochron" method. Some rocks consists of two parent isotopes and two corresponding daughter isotopes. Thus, the rock can be dated by obtaining the ratio of either of the two parent-daughter systems. If both systems give the same age, which is frequently the case in this situation, scientists can be confident in the result. Lastly, the accuracy of radiometric dating is also confirmed by dating meteorites, the age of the Earth, and through the use of different dating methods on the same sample (where possible) and comparing the results. Perhaps now a follow-up video can be produced which includes this information!! A simple acknowledgement of my comment would be nice, but not entirely necessary. In the meantime, if you the moderator could keep my comment toward the top, it could help lots of people.

@fizzy4149 Thank you for your comment. It appears that you do know what you are talking about. From time to time, I have read books and papers on these topics. Presently, I am reading the book, "Nature's Clocks" by Doug Macdougall. He explains the historical development of the phenomena of radioactivity as it applies to dating ancient items. He includes material on Marie Curie, Wilhelm Roentgen, Henri Becquerel, Dimitri Mendeleev (for the periodic table), Ernst Rutherford, Willard Libby (C-14 dating), Harold Urey, Harrison Brown, Clair Patterson (and his 1953 measurement of the age of meteorite fragments from Meteor Crater, Arizona at 4.55 billion years), and others. Macdougall does a good job of explaining the slow development of the increasing confidence in the method by the researchers as they figured out how to eliminate errors in their methods and data. I found it very interesting that C. Patterson realized that he was not getting good data for his uranium-lead readings because of lead contamination. In the course of eliminating the contamination, he discovered that the majority of the contamination was coming from the lead added to gasoline for gasoline engines. His finding resulted in the unleaded gasoline that we use today. These researchers seem to care a lot more about accurate and truthful dating information than the Young-earth creationists (YEC) give them credit for. It is clear that they cared tremendously more about making reliable measurements than discrediting the Bible, as the YEC claim is the goal of secular scientists.

Here the answer to the 3 "assumptions" 1. 'All daughter atoms derived from parent atoms' 2. 'No other process has affected the parent daughter relationship' These can both be answered similarly so I'll address them at the same time. Scientist are well aware of the different types of contaminations & the correct procedures to alleviate them point 1 specifically addressed pre-existing daughter atoms so lets address that one. It is possible for daughter atoms to be found in new rock formations depending on the type of mineral. This can come in form of Inherited Daughter Atoms or Incomplete Resetting. There's multiple ways to account for when this happens such as cross-checking with different types of radiometric datings, stratigraphic dating, or paleontological dating. As to point 2 since it's not very specific, here's a list of methodologies that be be cross-referenced to different forms of radiometric datings. Dendrochronology, Varve Chronology, Optically Stimulated Luminescence, Electron Spin Resonance,Uranium Series Dating, Amino Acid Racemization, Thermoluminescence Dating. 3. Constant decay rates. Yes, decay rates are constant & we have no reason to believe otherwise. We have tried almost everything to increase decay rates & failed to notably increase its rate. It would stand to reason that if we can't force decay rates to increase why would we expect a natural event to increase it globally? Not only that but when atoms decay they release a small amount of energy (hence nuclear energy). When you spread this energy over a couple billion years, it creates negligible affects. But if you were to compress that energy decay into a 6000 years (or 1 year if you subscribe to AiG claiming it happened during the flood) That's 2.8*10^25 J of energy per year for the last 6000 years, or 1.68*10^30 J of energy for a single year of Noah's flood. This is the equivalents of dropping over 1,000,000 H bombs per square mile. So again there's no natural process to increase decay rates & if you did in the time scale asserted by creationist, there would be too much heat for life to survive.

[@tone9358]

@@DeadlyPlatypus Way to completely miss-summarize my points. First off, you can't just dismiss all methods used to determine dating without reason. 2nd, If other methods are all just assumptions then why are we able to use them consistently to compare different ages of different rocks? If they didn't work, then cross-comparing them wouldn't work at all. I summarized my 3rd point at the end of my original comment so I don't know how you messed up summing that up. Arguing decay rates were faster in the past is about as logical as arguing gravity was stronger in the past. There's no evidence suggesting that that was the case & we have no reason to conclude it was so. Also like I pointed out in the original comment, you cannot cram the 4.5 billion years of decay some atoms posses into 6000 years without turning the planet into a giant molten ball. I find it ironic you dismissively call any science you don't like assumptions, but when you try to fill in that science, you take a book of allegory & assume it can be used to explain the natural world we observe. You can't explain decay rates ages so you assume they can change inconstantly, you want everything to derive from Noah ark but can't explain the huge amount of bio diversity without evolution so you assume kinds, you can't explain plate tectonics, rock layers, etc. so you assume the flood did it.

I'm taking an Egyptian archeology class this semester and oh boy is it fun to know this. An interesting thing about Egyptian archeology is that a lot of the stuff looks very similar or doesent change much so its even harder to pinpoint where things happened.

[@curious968]

You might look into King Lists. And, pottery shards. To name but two. It is not easy (that's why people study this stuff for years), but it is not really guesswork. We know that Egypt was around in the 2400s BCE when the flood was supposed to happen. Unfortunately for creationists, Egyptians never noticed that they drowned. It is, as you say, pretty stable. Now before you or someone else sputters but, but, but "the flood". Consider this: If the flood had really happened, then around 2400 BCE (or as close as archeology can determine) Egyptian culture would have stopped cold. There would be a couple hundred years when the place was depopulated. The language would have changed. The religion would have changed. The hieroglyphs would have stopped and some completely different writing system would have emerged, and everything would be in a new language. Noah and his progeny wouldn't know the original language or the writing system and would have zero interest in continuing it if they did. That's what you get if you take the Bible's account seriously. None of that happened. Your archeology class is going to teach you that "the flood" never happened, not in 2400-ish BCE where it has long been claimed by creationism, or at any other time. As watershed civilizations go, Egypt was remarkably stable, even including the Amarna period and the intermediate periods where things did go badly. Despite this, a lot of stuff was remarkably constant, certainly compared to other places, and the history completely contradicts a catastrophic "it killed everyone" flood. Simply put, it didn't happen and if it did, we'd see a _very_ different record.

For instance, in a great triumph for Keppler's laws of motion, we could predict where the moons of Jupiter would be. That is, we knew their orbits. Io in particular. But then, after a while, they _were not_ quite where they were supposed to be. That demanded explanation. Around 1676, Ole Roemer figured out that light had a finite speed and the discrepancy in location was caused by the relative distance between the earth and Jupiter and the extra time it took for the observations to reach us when earth was farther away. From this he developed the first estimate of the speed of light, based on his measurements of Jupiter, its moons, and what we known of the orbital positions of Jupiter and earth. We have measured it several other ways since. It is not a guess, it is not an assumption unless you think we can't predict the orbital positions of planets and moons (hint: We very much can).

We also have ice cores, the stars and the speed of light show the universe is very old. I am a Christian and we as Christians must accept that by all accounts our earth (and universe) show signs of extreme age. One of only two possibilities are true, ironically with the same result. 1. God created the universe billions of years ago. There is nothing in the Bible that gives us an exact date of creation. There is no verse, passage, or chapter that says our earth is only 10,000 years old. That idea relies on reading into the scriptures and frankly a lot of guessing. The idea of an old earth in no way conflicts with the Bible. 2. God created the earth/universe with the "appearance" of age. Ironically this would be in function the exact same as option one. A universe created to look and feel like it was 15 billion years old might as well be 15 billion years old. To believe otherwise indicates God created the universe without the appearance of age. We know however that stars whose light is further than 10,000 light years is visible right now so we can discard a "blank slate" universe. God must have created the universe to at least look and feel old, which in function means it is old.

But it does mean that God, in His infinite wisdom, has allowed Satan to operate in this world within the boundaries God has set for him. When the Bible says Satan has power over the world, we must remember that God has given him domain over unbelievers only. Believers are no longer under the rule of Satan (Colossians 1:13).

1. It is possible to know with extreme certainty how much of a parent atom must have existed in a sample. If you know the conditions which require a certain rock or crystal or fossil to form, you can easily calculate which elements are present and in which proportions. 2. The best radiometric dating methods are those whose daughter elements are not found in nature in any more than the slightest trace quantities. That way you can be sure your daughter elements ONLY came from the parent elements in the sample. 3. Decay rates are constant throughout time because they are dependent entirely on the fundamental forces of nature (electromagnetism, the strong & weak nuclear forces, and gravity), among multiple other constants. In order for the decay rates to change you have to change one or more of these values, which we KNOW would literally either tear the entire universe apart atom by atom, or crush the entire universe into a black hole, or any number of other complete disassembling of reality. Creationists love using this Fine Tuning of the universe to argue for a creator. You can't have a fine tuned universe at the same time as a universe with wavering atomic decay rates.

Evolution is of the religion of Humanism. Out of all the stardust in the universe, some of the stardust is special for no other reason than that it declares itself to be special. It elevates chemical and electrical reactions occurring in its grey matter above the reactions occurring in the grey matter of every other evolved stardust that doesn't look like it, going so far as to give those reactions objective meaning. It declares itself the pinnacle of evolution; the master of its destiny; with such hubris that it believes it can even save entire planets. It seeks to keep itself from the frivolity of faith, and free itself from the notion of a superior being to whom it is accountable. "Be free," it says, even as it enslaves its fellow stardust with its own arbitrary laws and fear of punishment! "Live your best life free from a God who can grant you immortality you don't deserve," it proclaims, as it promises nothing but death. The stardust consequently finds itself forlorn, for everything it does, everything it believes, everything it hopes for...is utterly futile and meaningless. Sign me up. 😏

Engineering and math student here Assuming the rock forms with all its matter in place with no shifting or contaminating (which is a fair assumption to make for igneous rocks only) analyzing the ratio between parent and daughter atoms could get you a good estimate of the rocks age. But to do this you need as many equations as you have unknowns. Radioactive decay chains of unstable A breaks down to stable B are simple. Initial and final quantities of each element as well as time and half life are all variables. That’s 6 unknowns and 2 equations. Ae^(-t/hl) (initial) = A (final) A+B (initial) = A+B (final) As is obvious to anyone who’s done algebra before… this presents a problem. The initial conditions aren’t known. The final conditions are. And the half life (according to this video) should be scrutinized. Now unless I’m missing another equation or two, this is unsolvable. Radioactive changes longer than this are harder to solve. I haven’t bothered to put pen to paper myself but I have no doubt it’s equally bleak because the same principles of algebra hold.

reminds me of highschool physics when they simply give you some of the formulas without showing the calculations made to arrive at the formulas. I remember when we studied gravitational forces and we used a specific formula for the gravitational force on earth, but used a very different formula to calculate gravity in space. I called it out as wrong, and asked if this is truly the most up to date scientific method since it was clearly incomplete, since both formulas for gravity should be the same no matter where the calculation is applied, then it would be a true formula. my teacher agreed and also said this was the current scientific method to find the force of gravity. What I learned from that experience is that science still had a long way to go. It's amazing that so many people will just tag along and assume science is correct, such as with this radioactive rock dating methods. Like not 1 scientist had the humility to admit they were wrong or didn't know, they'd rather assume they are right than have to ask difficult questions that test their hypothesis'.

[@dannoland]

@MrMarbles0Xecution Perhaps I can help you to understand why the formulas were different. The "real" formula is the one used out in space. For that formula, the force of gravity between the earth and some other body, is given by the product of the universal constant of gravity, which is 6.67e-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2, the mass of the earth, which is 5.97e24 kg, and the mass of the other body, then divide that by the square of the distance between the centers of earth and the other body. If you want to know the gravitational force between the earth and a body on the surface of the earth, then the same formula applies. However, because the distance between the centers of the bodies is always equal to the radius of the earth, the formula can be simplified by multiplying the constant of gravity by the mass of the earth and dividing by the square of the radius of the earth. That new constant is 9.81 m s^-2. Now multiply 9.81 m s^-2 by the mass in kg of the other body (not the earth) and you get the force between the two or the weight of the body in newtons.

In reality, of course, carbon 14 dating is quite reliable, because it's been calibrated using tree rings to about 12,000 years ago (and other methods to about 26,000 years ago). Note that this goes well past the YEC age of the Earth of about 6,000 years. Incidentally, he pulled the same trick earlier in the talk when he spoke of dating Mt. St. Helens lava flows (1986) using the potassium/argon method. Check the net and you'll find that method is unreliable for material aged less than thousands of years. I found an online critique of this episode by Dr. Kevin R. Henke, who says the lab that did the dating could only guarantee accurate dating of lavas older than 2 million years because of instrument limitations.

While on any given second more or less decays may occur, due to fact of random probability, we don't look at second to second, but over millions and billions of years. Say we flip 2 coins by probability 1 will be head and one tails, but occasionally we may get 2 heads in a row or 2 tails in a row. But as you go up in count hundreds thousands million billions the number of same heads coming up over and over averages out.

Periods of "darkness" followed by periods of "Day (light), I think it is reasonable to conclude that the Book of Genesis starts with the beginning of the current cycle "In Summit" (Gen 1:1) - the top of the current time cycle, with likewise unknown numbers of previous cycles.

When C14 dating is so off, why do we still accept it when dates line up with the Biblical timeline? Why do we agree that the shroud of turin is dated to Jesus's time now? Why aren't we completely dismissing C14 dating?

[@chuckalakatoob]

Actually, theres been various studies and examinations have been conducted on the Shroud to determine its origins and authenticity that's not related to C14 dating. It's not that it was accurate in the first place anyway, since the material they measured was from pieces that was used to repair the Shroud, not the actual Shroud itself.

[@Spartan322]

You also have to remember that C14 dating doesn't need much correction unless its a known case of a radically different Earth from what we observe currently, especially a catastrophic period most especially, this would be most applicable to the Flood and near period after the Flood (probably the first five hundred to one thousand years after the Flood) as well as the pre-Flood period where the Earth was completely different from what it is now. Something that is only two thousand years old or less needs very little correction because for the most part the Earth was very similar to how it is now, but if we go back to say the year two thousand BC or before, the effects of the pre-Flood, Flood, and post-Flood period throw C14 measurements radically out of alignment because the Earth was nothing like it is now, and the environment was completely different contributing to different C14 levels, which if you calculate without taking such cases into account it throws off the measurements and for the most part with what such an environment is like, you'll almost certainly end up with millions of years, it should be incredibly difficult to find a C14 object that reports to be from four thousand years ago and you'll almost certainly find that anything above a certain range will have radically more years between us and it once you get to those ranges without correction. Course this is assuming six thousand year old Earth right now, the Flood would've only happened in two thousand BC, however this metric still applies to the Pre-Flood, Flood, and post-Flood periods even if my time frame assumption were off, this just merely says that whatever distance the Flood started from now, you'll find extremely difficult or perhaps even impossible to find that time frame in the C14 dating without an applied correction to it. Every case of that time frame would randomly jump from a few thousand to between a few tens of thousands to even perhaps a few millions of years, so where lower end value where C14 tracked objects stop reporting time is very likely close to the time of the Flood instead, when they start jumping to radically more time, you know you've probably found evidence of an object that is in fact from a period close to or before the Flood. This of course makes some presumptions with C14 so this principal is not foolproof but it very well could demonstrate a fact.

[@YoungEarthCreation]

Actually, the shroud of Turin has gone through three separate fires overtime and that alone would throw off any reliable carbon 14 date given. That being said, carbon 14 dating can give some good results, however the closer you get to the flood the worse it is going to give, this is because of the world wide volcanism that was occurring adding tons of carbon to the atmosphere. So i am fine with it as a dating method but don’t ever think it’s 100%. One study actually sent a sample to all the different laboratories and they discovered that it was only 18% accurate.

Interesting. Made me think of Genesis Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form and empty. And darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters. Like the tree before it became a table. I wonder if there was a big timegap before verse 3 when he creates the light and the first day and thus the concept of time and then actually starts shaping the earth. An example can be given in the Gospel of John were it says: Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth. This stands as a complete sentence in its own right. But there are 12 verses inbetween which I did not include. And we know that the Word did not become flesh in the beginning. Hope I'm not being too confusing.

[@jonedwards2107]

The age of a tree cannot be confirmed by the rings. Each ring denotes a growth period, which is the result of a wet season. If there are multiple wet periods in a year, there will be a ring for each period. Three wet periods in two years would show three rings, not three years.

[@nothing-om6fn]

This list will be going over the problems with anything he says. Just for reference, im not a scientist, just a guy with a lot of time to research stuff so please correct me if im wrong about anything First off, those 3 assumptions. I did the third assumption first because I started writing this when he mentioned it at 0:32. 3. 0:32 Assuming these radioactive isotopes decay at a constant rate isnt an assumption. Now im sure there are more ways to find out why, but one ive found is called supernova light decay, where astronomists are able to find out the decay of certain atoms over billions of years has stayed relatively constant with little variability. 1. 3:17 Yes we do assume the parent daughter ratio, sometimes, kind of. But theres good reason, for example in zircon crystals, uranium atoms are the right shape to fill in spots for zirconium atoms but lead is not and is excluded while forming, so until that crystal has cooled and became a closed system, its safe to assume there's no lead in there, but we still check to make sure. Of course thats not the same for all minerals but it shows that there is a foundation for these assumptions. Also there is the isochron method which doesnt require the parent daughter ratio at all. 2. 4:10 Okay so this pertains to the contamination problem. First off, I just want to mention he made contamination sound way bigger than it actually is, its only rare places can contamination actually cause a big problem, rainfall isnt going to do much of anything. And now im not sure how, but with proper preperation and good samples, we can account for most contamination, and even if we really screw up, we can still compare it to similar samples and if it doesn't line up with them then we just say something went wrong and measure again or simply call it a bad sample. 4. 10:23 Okay, first off a bigggggg problem. K40 has a half life of 1.25 billion years, and since you need at least a little argon to measure, the K40 - Ar method is only useful for anything over 2 million years old, anything lower and you get terribly inaccurate results. What theyre doing is like measuring a bacteria with a yard stick. So this is really just bad testing. 5. 12:40 This was actually explained a year later. There just so happened to be an argon rich fluid that was trapped inside of the diamonds while they were forming, which really screwed up the measurement. This was just an experiment that went wrong, proves nothing other than accidents happen. 6. 13:32 The flood didnt happen, it would've caused mass exctinctions and would've decimated most life thats on land, there would be obvious evidence of the flood if it actually happened Im skipping over the canyon thing, Im tired and dont feel like researching that. 7. 17:28 Granite is a rock, rocks are an aggregate of minerals, those minerals can have separate ages. 8. 19:24 Then you're reading the wrong textbooks because they don't claim that so that invalidates what he says up until 23:21 9. 25:7 Ima be real, trying to understand this one confused the hell out me. But there are methods for it, and one of those are that if you think the half life is 10^32 seconds, then take 10^32 atoms (or protons, I don't remember), and if atleast one of those decay within a year, that's your half life, its called the theory of probability. There is another one using equations, but I didnt really understand it and I couldn't possibly explain it here. If your curious just look up how we find half lifes, there is a way and it's scientifically sound. 10. 26:39 because humans monitor these computers and computers make less errors, not trusting machines isnt a reson to not believe radiometric dating. 11. 27:00 "The 'natural abundance' of potassium-40 is extremely low, about 0.012%. (In a sample containing 100,000 atoms of potassium, 12 will be potassium-40.)" - Flinn Scientific Canada 12. 27:10 "Potassium-40 undergoes three types of radioactive decay. In about 89.28% of events, it decays to calcium-40 (40Ca) with emission of a beta particle (β−, an electron) with a maximum energy of 1.31 MeV and an antineutrino. In about 10.72% of events, it decays to argon-40 (40Ar) by electron capture (EC), with the emission of a neutrino and then a 1.460 MeV gamma ray.[Note 1] The radioactive decay of this particular isotope explains the large abundance of argon (nearly 1%) in the Earth's atmosphere, as well as prevalence of 40Ar over other isotopes. Very rarely (0.001% of events), it decays to 40Ar by emitting a positron (β+) and a neutrino.[1]" - Potassium-40 wiki page. 13. 29:38 Did you actually read that list? because those dont prove much of anything. 14. 30:26 Comets are just rocks in space, and we've got a fuck ton of them, of course we haven't run out 15. 31:38 You don't use carbon dating on fossils, only on organic matter. You're purposely using a specific method to get a certain answer to fit your view of the world. Bad science doesn't prove anything. 16. 32:17 Fossils only form under certain conditions, that's why its so rare to find complete fossils. Most people who died were left on the ground, maybe buried under a thin layer dirt and their remains were eaten and decomposed, not everyone gets fossilized. People, come on. This guy is a preacher who knows nothing about science, he's just taking advantage of the fact that y'all don't either. You cant reject science just because you don't understand it. You gotta remember these are people who have commited their entire life to finding answers, if they could tally it all up to god, they would, we would all love to be able to say that god is the answer because it solves all of our questions. But we can't, the bible has no evidence, it's historical fiction filled with fairy tales. So instead of believing in a book with no evidence written by people you dont know, why not believe in something proven? Something you can actually verify? Besides, even if today we found out all of radiometric dating is completely and utterly wrong, there are still other forms of dating that invalidate the idea of a young earth.

[@wavemaker2077]

What no one is looking at is that solar flares are known to accelerate the aging of atoms. Radiocarbon dating relies on measuring the decay of carbon-14 isotopes in organic materials. Solar flares can cause fluctuations in the production of carbon-14 in the atmosphere by interacting with nitrogen atoms, which affects the accuracy of radiocarbon dating to some extent. So those dinosaur bones have also been aged by solar flares. So even if the measurement is accurate and no contamination happened, the artificial aging of atoms because of solar flares were not taken into consideration. How many solar flares happened throughout the history of the planet? Uncountable already.

First, we can only carbon date organic materials (things made of carbon), we cannot date stone.

God gave us our ability to theorize and invent as well as try to attain the knowledge he locked in our universe.
