Back to about 50K, the decay curve sticks up out of the noise floor. I'm surprised the two geologists you claim to have worked for didn't mention how carbon dating works and how little relation it bears to the age of the earth.

"the earlier method was subject to considerable "noise" from cosmic rays"


Did you read this article cause they talk about how this new method reduces this noise, hence the 90,000 year outer limit now. You are a very hostile person.

Recommend you take off the blinders...we ain't talking about the "age of the earth", but the age of fossils that are supposed to be millions of years old.

Not more surprised then me, since I never made that claim. I a rock hound and do some home study of geology.
