Carbon dating is as valid as the gore bull warming/climate change models. sediments are dated ... how?

Sorry, that happens not to be the case.

If you have any legitimate questions on radiocarbon dating I would be happy to address them (but don't even bother with the tripe from the creationist websites -- they lie when it comes to science.)

In the meantime here are some good links on radiocarbon dating:

ReligiousTolerance.org Carbon-14 Dating (C-14): Beliefs of New-Earth Creationists

Radiometric Dating: A Christian Perspective by Dr. Roger C. Wiens.

This site, BiblicalChronologist.org has a series of good articles on radiocarbon dating.

Are tree-ring chronologies reliable? (The Biblical Chronologist, Vol. 5, No. 1)

How does the radiocarbon dating method work? (The Biblical Chronologist, Vol. 5, No. 1)

How precise is radiocarbon dating?

Is radiocarbon dating based on assumptions?

Has radiocarbon dating been invalidated by unreasonable results?

Well, that was easy.

Coyoteman, if people want to believe that God created everything, that's their privilege. There is no argument you, or I, or anyone can make to change their minds.

What I have a serious problem with is the insistence by some religious fundamentalists (that's what they are) that they not only remain willfully ignorant, but that all the rest of us must as well.

They can believe whatever they danged well want to believe. Just don't push it off onto me or mine through dishonest pseudo-science called intelligent design, or through the public schools, or law, etc.

Notice you didn't include obsidian hydration. Is that now out of favor?
