C-14 and other radioisotope dating techniques now provide more evidence for a young earth than an old one. It's now the old-earthers that are forever excusing the results and crying 'contamination' and so forth because they can't accept the raw data. Let's stop the pretense that they believe in 'science.'
I should clarify that my ire is not directed at the scientists involved here, but at the media who cite overarching ‘reliability’ because of one small aspect of the factors affecting geochronometry. The significance of these results merely shows that radisotope decay is not some sort of fundamental, unalterable constant - but the scientific community has known that for years outside of the propaganda channels.
Uh, yeah, sure. C-14 is used for dating organic objects in the ranges of thousands of years ago. Try tacking K-Ar dating and get back to me. As well as the rate of decay of U-238.
You distort the science, yet say the old-Earth folks are the ones who aren't serious about addressing such?
