Bunked or debunked?People who Trust the Science™ love using it to debooonk the Bible. With everything we know today about the moon landing, globe earth, vaccines, etc., I don't see any reason why we should have faith in this pseudo science.
Okay, but how will this help communists suicide by cop faster?
>>525788216if you are asking about the nuclear properties of carbon 14 well they are pretty well understood
>>525788216It's really not hard to get your mind around. Now carbon dating on the other hand is extremely finnicky and unreliable, don't listen to this guy >>525788336But uranium to lead in a zircon crystal? Very simple. The only way it could go wrong would be if uranium decayed faster in the past, but there is no reason to believe it did. And if it DID decay on biblical time scales the energy released would have melted the earths crust
>>5257882161/10 made me reply
>>525788216Carbon 14 has a half life of 5730 years. Coincidence huh. Well all further years rely on guesses and estimates and inaccuracies because carbon 14 wasn't produced in the atmosphere at the same constant rate and half life of a half life of half life is just estimate based on estimate and in no way is accurate. There were periods when no carbon 14 was produced. There's no way to account for that anyways beyond guessing and then boldly claiming anyone who questions it hates science.Other dating methods for inorganic metamorphic or igneous rock is just pure fiction.
>>525788336You don't know the original concentration of the parent isotope though. And that's just one of the "methods".
>>525788443The Bible says God created a mature earth for Adam in its present form. There's no contradiction. Time could have begun last Thursday and you'd not know it.
>>525788714They pretend like God, who created the entire universe, couldn't possibly have made minerals and shit with an isotope ratio that would confuse man and test his faith.
>>525788443>The only way it could go wrong would be if uranium decayed faster in the pastWrong. There could be leakage, ion exchange with hydrothermal fluids, all the rocks with really old ages would have been metamorphosed.Have you ever seen a zircon? They're not even homogenous.
>>525788714And why should I believe your story instead of the story that the world was created last thursday? Because book written by jews says so?
>>525789249>There could be leakage, ion exchange with hydrothermal fluids, all the rocks with really old ages would have been metamorphosed.You've outed yourself as not knowing what you talk about in an impressively small number of words.
>>525788451
>>525789353I accept your concession. You don't know shit about zircon dating.
>>525789263I don't care what you believe. Most adults believe in God because our bodies are designed to. It's natural to have faith over hopelessness. Your soul crushing nihilism will run you through eventually if you stay atheist. Science and Christianity are not contradictory and exclusionary of each other.
>>525789429When you ask these science cultists to explain their beliefs, all they can do is run away while crying "bait". They insist its the opposite of religion, but they operate on blind faith, and don't even understand what they believe, let alone why they believe it.
>>525789781>It's natural to have faith over hopelessnessThey choose faith IN hopelessness. Radiometric dating is one of their main dogmas, and none of them are capable of defending it.
