True! I saw a show on TV the other night about fossils. They had rocks that had been "carbon dated" to be 140million years old. Broke some of them open and one had a modern battery in it, one had a newish style hammer, and I forgot what the other one had. The point was that carbon dating is NOT accurate. These fossils were not very old at all.
Carbon dating can only apply to fossils of less than 50,000 years old. Why does all coal have carbon 14 in it??
Carbon...unreliable for dating fossils, unreliable for making copies of Bush memos...great for smearing people like Dan Rather with, though...
Nice try -- you either grossly misunderstood whatever the show actually said, or you were watching some incompetent creationist video.
Carbon dating only produces results in the 0 to 50,000 year range.
Would you care to retract your bogus claim now?
Broke some of them open and one had a modern battery in it, one had a newish style hammer, and I forgot what the other one had.
Yeah. Sure. We believe you.
The point was that carbon dating is NOT accurate.
Actually, the point is that either you or your source (or both) are either lying or completely incompetent. Neither actually demonstrates that carbon dating is inaccurate.
Creationist propaganda. Everyone knows carbon dating is only valid up to 50,000 years. You're going to have to find some websites from this century.
Which creationist website did you get that off of. It is BS slander. C-14 dating is NOT used for rocks. C-14 is NOT used to date items millions of years old. Seems you have been fed some bs or are you feeding us BS?????
I was on a trip to Mexico a couple of years back and while visiting a Mayan city our guide showed us a fossilized skeleton he said was 4 to 5 hundred years old. I wonder what carbon testing would tell us on that? Probably 3 to 4 million. Moral don't put your faith in carbon dating.
