Mt Saint Helens erupted, they checked the new land made by it two weeks later. Carbon dating said it was formed millions of years ago. This is the science that they use to go against the earth being about 6 thousand years old.
They were millions of years off.

“the oldest dates that can be reliably measured by this process date to approximately 50,000 years ago”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha!!!!
What idiot used carbon dating on inorganic matter?
Nobody, of course, because the people with the equipment to do radiocarbon dating know better.
“Carbon dating said it was formed millions of years ago.”
The “new land” was not new, impossible for it to be. The volcano belched up stuff from deep in the earth. There cannot be new land, only a reconfigeration.
No, carbon dating was not used to date ash from Mt St Helens.
Radiocarbon dating (carbon-14 dating) only works on things that were once alive.
Here’s why:
The method relies on the isotope carbon-14 (¹⁴C), which is produced in the atmosphere and absorbed by living organisms (plants, animals, humans, etc.) through the food chain.
While an organism is alive, it maintains a constant ratio of ¹⁴C to regular carbon-12 (¹²C), roughly matching the ratio in the atmosphere.
When the organism dies, it stops taking in new carbon, and the ¹⁴C begins to decay at a known rate (half-life of about 5,730 years).
By measuring how much ¹⁴C is left compared to ¹²C, scientists can calculate how long ago the organism died.
A volcano, however animated it may appear to be, doesn’t breathe and was not alive, so carbon dating would never be used on it.
Correct. I remember reading the Oregonian after that eruption. They quoted a geologist who said we had just witnessed 10,000 of geological changes.
They tested new volcanic material and found discordant ages much, much greater than 40 years...they knew how old the rock was...the radioactive dating did not confirm it...they did not use carbon 14.
