C-14 has dated living mollusks as being 10,000 years old.

What kind of mollusks? C14 dating is not used for aquatic life forms; any scientist who deals with dating techniques will tell you this.

I distrust any process that tells me that nothing intervened in the normal processes for that period of time, especially K-R dating and such.

Ah, so you assume some supernatural fluctuation of the values so that you can dismiss anything that doesn't give you answers that you like? How convenient.

You keep asking, so, I guess I have to keep proving it to you.


Shells from living snails were carbon dated as being 27,000 years old. Science vol. 224, 1984, pp.58-61

Living mollusk shells were dated up to 2300 years old. Science vol. 141, 1963, pp.634-637

A freshly killed seal was carbon dated as having died 1300 years ago! Antarctic Journal vol. 6, Sept-Oct. 1971, p211

“One part of the Vollosovitch mammoth carbon dated at 29,500 years and another part at 44,000.” Troy L. Pewe, “Quaternary Strigraphic Nomencature in Uniglaciated Central Alaska,” Geologic Survey Professional Paper 832 (U.S. Gov. Printing Office, 1975) p. 30

“Structure, metamorphism, sedimentary reworking, and other complications have to be considered. Radiometric dating would not have been feasible if the geologic column had not been erected first.” J.E. O’Rourke, “Pragmatism vs. Materialism in Stratigraphy,” American Jouranl of Science, vol. 276 (January, 1976), p. 54

The geologic Column came many years BEFORE radiometric dating was conceived. Dates were initially established based on NOTHING. Radiometric dating aside, the geologic column is based upon the notion that it took alot of time to form the layers. Oddly enough, layer formation has not been observed at all over the years, except when you put dirt into a jar with water and shake it up. Strange thing about that test though, is that it only takes a matter of minutes for layers to form. Science can explain this phonomena too. It has to do with the particles themselves, as they sort out by density etc (they even teach this to 4th graders).
