What is Carbon Dating? - Mike Riddle

Part 1

In this first of two sessions on carbon-14, Mike answers 3 important questions:

• What is carbon-14? 

• Where does carbon-14 come from?

• How can carbon-14 be used to determine age?

Mike concludes by presenting powerful, observational evidence why carbon-14 demonstrates the earth is young and not billions of years old. As Christians we are called to guard the truth against all false teachings (1 Timothy 6:20). The evolutionists' teaching of billions of years is a false teaching and we should not compromise God's Word to be like the world.

Part 2

In session two on carbon-14, Mike discusses two important aspects about carbon-14.

1. How does the carbon-14 dating method work?

2. How reliable is the carbon-14 dating method?

Mike points out three things that must be known for carbon-14 dating to work.

1. How long does it take C-14 to decay?

2. What was the starting amount of C-14 in the creature when it died?

3. Are there any assumptions involved?

Question one poses no problem. Numbers two and three do present major problems for the carbon-14 dating method. Question three also challenges the reliability of reported dates.

In this rant, Ian Juby addresses a reader request for a rant on dating methods. Ian shows the bankruptcy of the methods and how they fail every test ever presented to them.

People asked for references, so here's some references:

Dating calibration:
Ummm....what else would they calibrate the dating methods with?
This "calibration" is going on even today! See above - Skull 1470, Mars Rock, and other examples too numerous to mention - entire books have been written on the subject for crying out loud! Like Woodmorappe's "The mythology of modern dating methods" Half the point of the rant is showing the "calibration" of the dating methods (read: rejecting dates that don't line up with assumed evolutionary ages - that's calibration!)
