Pelecius: @bolded: Isn't that I why I specifically used the expression "closest to perfect". I mean, right from the first post, no one ever suggested you should take any dating method as perfect. I never for once said absolute dating is perfect. If I had wanted to say 'perfect', I'd use the word 'perfect'. But I said 'closest to perfect' which means it's not perfect but better than others. So you saying "I'm not taking 'closest to perfect' as 'perfect'" and making an argument around that when it was never in contention as it was clearly stated is somewhat confusing, bro. Nevertheless, it was an insightful discussion. Thanks. |

Bahamas95:Well, according to young earth creationists, based on some literal interpretations of the Bible. the world is only around 10,000-6,000 years old. The geological and scientific consensus is that the earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old. This age of the earth represent the age of the Earth's core formation, or of the material from which the Earth formed. This dating is based on evidence from radiometric age-dating of meteorite material, which is consistent with the radiometric ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples. |

Pelecius: Biko , how long does it take for bones to decomposes ? Why the carbon dating measured relatively to millions of years,? Does it give the relative amount of time for us to calculate the timing. Does the isotopic decay correspond to the bone or tissue decay Does this not throw more questions than answers to the dating techique |

tollyboy5:Though someone has responded already, I think I know about the Galileo affair before using it as an example of dissenters. My illustration was definitely different from the picture of the average person about him. Keppler rightly put it. He ws going against the ruling paradigm of that time, the best of science which was Geocentricity which the church also settled with. 1 Like |

Pelecius: That wasn't the reply expected so it will be ignored.totally flat For a start, I read Physics as major and the similar questions were thrown at my lecturer but no answer. Carbon dating 14 have serious flaws and cannot be used for more than 20,000 years. I think is far less. It is the fair" we have around but always have it inherent flaws. How old is the earth? How old are bones before decomposing. Secondly water has been known to affect carbon dating, another serious flaws. My initial questions are to determine if you could provide answers at the lowest stratum but seems I was roudly disappointed. I guess I stay I'm my inquisitive lane while you stay on yours Another thing please You got no case on the church |

Koolyarn:I was thinking in such direction with your initial questions but it was not just clear (worded clearly) If you've read my comments in this thread, you should see that you don't need to ask me such questions as I definitely showed why the secular dating should not be taken really seriously. Just some points; 1.Million year old fossils are not carbon dated. So it's not about carbon dating here, it's other forms such as Ur - Pb, K - Ar, etc. 2.Again, Carbon dating has nothing to do about the age of earth. So I'd advise you not talk about Carbon dating when age of earth or million of years is implied. I gave few reasons why other forms of radiometric dating cannot be trusted and since Carbon dating gives age that's still beyond the Biblical Chronology, there are evidence which points that such "ages" flunctuate also apart from the factthat it also relies on some unfounded assumptions. By the way; I'm a lover of God and lover of the field of studies which tries to understand how he sustain and uphold the universe science) |

Pelecius: Clarification accepted. Let do some scholarly talk. According to the article Fossils of this snake family did not appear again until the geological time period known as the Miocene – between 23 and 5 million years ago. 'As the global climate began to cool again after the Miocene, the pythons once again disappeared fromEurope, said Dr Smith Secondly, from the inference i believed you were using dating (i.e carbon or any form ) to explain this defined age. Can be kindly explain how they got the age. Thanks in advance |

Koolyarn:I have a feeling that you were not supposed to quote me since I also don't go with millions of years age. But as explained by etrange already, they either use relative dating method or use decay rate (assuming that it has been constant) to measure concentration of daughter isotopes remaining from a radioactive material in which the fossil is formed; or combination of the two. For the former, it is assumed that the geologic column was formed over millions of years at a constant rate (another assumption - uniformitarianism). So the different layers are named and ages assigned to them. Hence, it is easy to assign age to any fossil found any of the layers. |

IMAliyu:Great response there but your conclusions favour the long agers and I think you committed question begging epithet. Making it look like the young earthers don't have evidence to support their world view apart from the Bible and differentiating Creationist from the "geological and scientific consensus". Thus, you didn't fairly give the enquirer (Bahamas95) the opportunity to think for himself since your conclusion and question begging epithet has done that for him. Anyway, I always enjoy your comments 1 Like |

keppler:Didn't intend it to be like that. But my knowledge of the young earth view isn't that deep, so I kept it short to only what I knew (at the time of reply). As for personal beliefs, I do in fact have a bias to the secular scientific approach. As for the young earth hypothesis, it is highly predicated on the idea that the Bible possesses literal/factual accounts of history and prehistory. Which is subjective and debatable depending on a person's religious inclination. |

IMAliyu:Alright Bro Yeah, I guess. That's why I felt that it could have been made in such a way to make the enquirer want to know the evidence for both sides of the camp. I love the word "secular" because it is assumed by many that science is neutral but facts don't interpret themselves; rather, through the scientist's worldview such as humanism, Christianity, Materialism etc. Yeah, that's their assumption. Like I said, every scientist have a frame work which is presumed to be through first and hypothesis are worked around such frame work. Their are many young earth websites you can check to see the evidence put forward which matches their frame work, it may help you to get acquainted with the model |
