obviously you have not followed the press....it has been confirmed there is no contamination, and multiple site have been found, with a controlled (documented) process, including imaging and chemical analysis and DNA testing.
No doubt on the source of the material, just the age.
the whole house of cards that is built on circular dating is caving inward.
We are getting to the point we were in the 1800s where the prevailing theory of spontaneous generation died a slow, agonizing death, and a new theory gained hold.
As any scientific theory, at this point, the skeptics are punished/persecuted until the dissent becomes prevailing thought. The poor scientist who reported the findings (and has passed multiple peer reviews) has been attacked personally numerous times for upsetting the apple cart......
I suggest you google T-Rex blood fossil and read the very interesting history of events....
It’s a pretty robust “house of cards”.
Continuous tree ring counts go back much further than Bishop Ussher’s maximum age of 6016 years and 7 days.
There are scores of scientific dating techniques that cross check, reenforce, and mutually support and refine each other.
They all conflict with Bishop Ussher’s interpretation of Biblical dating.
The Bible gives a sequence of creation events that maps one-for-one with the sequences science have with astrophysics and evolution.
The only difference is the time scale
Please do feel free to cleave to Bishop Ussher’s interpretation of Biblical chronology.
Back in the day we used to say “It’s a free country”.
Of course Bishop Ussher would argue that we only said that during one literal 24 hour day, even before light was divided from darkness.
Me, I’m going with the decay/preservation process is different than we thought.
To do otherwise would require me to live in a world where the fundamental rules can be changed at the will of a capricious god (small g deliberate) to suit any whim or fit of pique.
So far I live in a world that appears to be ruled by a just and consistent God who allows us to glimpse a consistent rulebook that lets us know where we can expect to find minerals, build a bridge that will stand up to expected forces (or not and have them predictably fall), crossbreed for a tastier fruit, etc.
I’ll let you know if that changes, assuming He doesn’t arbitrarily decide that electrons flowing down a wire doesn’t meet His approval...
