Maybe AntiFa should start billing itself as into claiming bronze scrap metal?

How do they know the caves were 46,000 years old?

“two 46,000-year-old caves”
Is the issue that the caves were too old, or too new? What, exactly, is the typical age of a cave?
Or maybe the twisted news is that there were human artifacts in the caves estimated to be 46,000 years old?
To: Fungi
Carbon dating human made/acquired items in the cave.
By which they mean the cave had been occupied by humans 46k years ago.
Not that Nature created the cave 46k years ago. If it was just caves without any evidence of ancient human occupation it would not have any archaeological or cultural significance.

Nice try, still no cigar. Carbon dating is a sham, too long a lost of unprovable assumptions to elaborate. Ever think about the human population today considering that timeline? Do the math.

Just adding to the evidence that the British were the first to arrive in Australia.

Carbon dating is a sham, too long a list of unprovable assumptions to elaborateYeah like just because the half life is 5,730 ± 40 years doesn't mean that was the half life 40,000 years ago.
I think you Just proved to everyone here that you are a nut-case.
To: Fungi
“carbon dating is a sham” is a sham.
Take a biochemistry class.

The reader should not have to infer what you clearly explained. Your explanation is clear, simple and easy to understand. Author Steve Goldstein should find a new line of work. Do you want a job?
