Exactly what made you suppose I was denying anything reported about various discoveries?
Of course I did point out, accurately, that much once claimed has since been debunked.
So, how old is the oldest DNA so far recovered?
Well, they ARE getting better & better at that all the time.
Still, there is a long history of wild claims made which later proved to be, well, exaggerated.
I am merely suggesting to take the most recent claims with a grain of salt, until they have been verified by others.
Point is: your discussion of Dino-blood & tissues is usually used to discredit radiometric-based estimates of ancient materials, and to argue that therefore the Earth must be much younger than science maintains.
Again, I’m only saying you are entitled to believe what ever you wish on this, provided you don’t call such beliefs “science”.
Assuming radio decay as an absolute dating method, without comparing to other known dating methods is not scientific.
You seem to have a view that radio decay is authoritative. When an animal lives, it ingests elements that have already particular ratios of decayed isotopes...thus giving it an “apparent” radio decay based date in excess of the fossil.
1) Why is radiometric dating not used for known recent (i.e. < ice age) fossils?
(see above)
2) What if the elements from which our universe were formed had an base amount of decay? i.e. they relative amounts of radioactive isotopes did NOT start at zero.
3) What if the rate of radioactive decay has not been static?
What matter is it if the earth is 3.5 or 5.0 Billion years or 5 Million years or 50,000 years or 5,000? Does it make the universe any different? No!
Does it imply the method of creation? No! So why you have your panties in a wad I don’t know.
As I said before, I have a BS and MS and 30+ hours of post masters science.
What education teaches you is that understanding and science are a process. When you get to the point where you cannot objectively consider alternative explanations, you have given up on science, and it’s become a religion.
