I did notice that Mr Leakey, when trying to prove he found a very old monkey skull, had to do his carbon dating over 50 times before he received a very old date that he liked - ha ha ha.

You have blown any scientific credibility to which you pretended with this post.

First, Leakey did not do his own radiometric dating. That type of dating is done by experienced geologists and nuclear physicists or chemists.

Second, everyone knows that you don't date million-year-old fossils with "carbon dating" -- radiocarbon dating is only useful back about 50,000 years, and does not work on volcanic rocks, which is what they date in Africa!

Oh, no coyote is joining the darwinists again!!! I’m afraid.

But you DO know that Leakey had to do dozens of dating tests before he got the result he wanted. Typical lib response to deflect the issue by discussing some incorrect spelling or other minor aspect of the issue.
