Son, I am one of those “evil archaeologists,” and I do a lot of radiocarbon dating;

Pappa, So is Woodmorappe, and I’m willing to bet He’s studied the radiometric dating game much more extensively than you...

Woodmorappe is the pseudonym for a high school science teacher. I am willing to bet he has never done a radiocarbon date in his life. I have read a lot of his writings, and I doubt he has studied radiocarbon dating to any great extent either. He is a creationist; he doesn't need scientific facts because the fervor of his religious belief is enough for his intended audience.

But if you think he's so hot, call him up bring him to FR, and we can have a debate on these very threads.

Me [Pappa, So is Woodmorappe, and I’m willing to bet He’s studied the radiometric dating game much more extensively than you which is why you’ll need to divert attention from his facts by engaging in ad hominem attacks,]

BINGO- Prediction number one = entirely true. Gosh, what a surprise!

Yes, I’m sure he’;d just love, and have plenty of time to sit around while you berate him with ad hominem Attacks all day long while ignoring his factual points altogether- Hang on, I’ll see if he’s busy- boy won’t he be happy to hear he can watch pettiness in action!

And tell me somethign ?Coyote- I’m surious about something- we’ll ignore Woodmorappe’s book doesn’t exist- pretend that Woodmorappe didn’t expose the problems with radiocarbon dating- and I’ll ask this instead, How is it that many many times down through the ages dates have had to be pushed back 10-20-50-100 million years AFTER being dated with these highly accurate systems in the first place? Do evos get to pick and choose when they determine the dating methods to be accurate or not? If they got the dates wrong once, let alone the numerous times they have been given that the evidneces dated didn’t fit the new evidences discovered, wouldn’t that mean the methods they used in the first place were a bit suspect? The calibration off by oh say, a hundred million years or so? (Provided we’re to assume the earth is even that old- but for the sake of this question, we’ll pretend it is) How many times have these highly accurate systems of dating been ‘recalibrated’ to fit hte eivdences? I dunno about you, but if I had a calculator that had to be recalibrated al lthe time, I’d throw the sucker out- even just one mistake would make it suspect- let alone many mistakes as we see in evo dating game.
