Dang, got the response out of order. Should read like this.

I think they proved the reactors work when they killed a lot of stuff.

But Carbon 14 dating might not be all it’s cracked up to be.
Some Creation Scientists took fossils that were supposed to be millions of years old and carbon dated them. They should have shown almost no Carbon 14. Instead they showed lots of Carbon 14.

Evolutionist’s response to that is to say, the Carbon 14 they detected was background level and was leached into the ancient fossils by ground water.

Which causes me to ask, if it can leach in, can it not leach out? And if there was a flood, or ground water over a couple of hundred to thousands of years and Carbon 14 is leachable, is it reliable at all?

I don’t know, but evolutionists claim that the Oldawan people had tools 2.3 million years ago. If you think I scoff at 100,000 years, you can imagine how bowled over with laughter I am at tool bearing man 2.3 million years ago.

Whatever, there are legitimate objects made by some one over 2 billion years old.

Lots of modern plants will show an anomalously old carbon 14 date. Carbon 14 in generated in the upper atmosphere, at roughly the same rate, and decays at a known rate. Plants that grow near freeways, factories, and coal or natural gas fired power plants get a goodly fraction of their CO2 from fossil fuels, where the carbon 14 has long since decayed below detectable levels. This skews the reported date quite a bit.

Even with pristine samples the carbon 14 levels are too low to accurately measure anything older than about 50,000 years.
