The fact that the alleged physicist claims he found over 5 percent C14 in a sample — more than any organic form can have — shows he really doesn’t know what he’s doing, or what he’s talking about, AT BEST.

We are stipulating he is dumber than a rock remember? However, curious I listened through the video again and missed this 5 percent claim. How far into the video was it made? Was it on one of the papers or was the narrator saying it?

That aside, assuming the link is a fraud for the purposes of this discussion, you emphatically asserted earlier:

Dinosaur bones have never been RC dated within 40K, irrespective of the claims at that link.

Now you say they don't have RC dating at all. Do you mean merely that no dino bone has ever been subjected to radio carbon testing, or are you also asserting that they could not be tested because of some technical issue?

If there is not some kind of technical issue, I am curious as to why they have not been tested by main stream science, even though they are expected to have no significant C14, I see two values to testing them:

1) Verification of the limits of C14 testing. For example if dino bones fell in range of 60,000 years or more, then this would be evidence that 60,000 years or more should be considered essentially infinity.

2) To verify that we don't have another shocking near coelenterate type situation (i.e. fossils showing them to be extinct millions of years ago until some turned up alive).

Just to clarify, not that it should matter, but cosmological speaking I find the evidence for Georges Lamaitre's long term version of creation to be compelling, and think of both short term creation and an eternal universe as implausible. This is not an official position, since I am no authority on such matters, just my personal leaning with the understanding I currently have. I am trying to learn, not argue with you. However I am an equal opportunity skeptic, wanting to be convinced by good arguments and reason rather than bashing others credentials.

So I guess what I am really curious about is if there is a good technical reason why trying RC dating on a dino bone is not possible?
