It's just protestants who cares

>>543955216Denying the science of human biological diversity is creationism.
>place wheel against limestone>drags the minerals out>ask scientists to date it>”400 trillion years old. Clearly came from when man first uh… made steel”
>>543955216what method of dating did they use cause most are wildly inaccurate even going back less then a century
>>543956301They're in a coal mine. Hundreds of meters deep. Coal formed during the carboniferous age. The wheel is imbedded in that coal.>Hurr durr what dating did they use?You're right, the coal and wheel date from september 2022.

>>543956301It was probably relative dating as opposed to radiometric. It’s in a Carboniferous strata, therefore it is the age of radiometrically dated Carboniferous strata (that correlates to biostratigraphic markers or specific fossil morphospecies). They could have used isotopic analysis of the “metal,” but it doesn’t actually look like a wheel at all, and I doubt anyone did. The shaft is flooded and abandoned now. It looks more like the cross section of a large concretion or septarian nodule. If it were a wheel, the axle would be off center and the spokes strange. It would be a very poor wheel. That said, travertine can grow over objects pretty quickly. Same process as forming a stalactite or stalagmite. Saturated water precipitates out carbonate just like evaporating water precipitates out salt, just slower in most cases. A good example is the London Hammer. This should be in /x/, but there was already a post on this in /x/, so OP is shitting up /pol/ on purpose.
If anything this just makes carbon dating seem less credible.
