Carbon dating doesn’t work — debunked
June 9th, 2009
Potholer54debunks asked:
Living snails that carbon-date to 2300 years old, a living seal that was carbon-dated at 1300 years old, and 8000-year-old living penguins. Not to mention dinosaur bones that dated to 20000 years ago. Obviously carbon dating doesn’t work, unless you understand it. Here’s the explanation that even a 5th-grader can understand. See also “The Age of our World Made Easy” at www.youtube.com for reference.

weird, that means the videos i’ve seen were lying to me? dang. over 270 flood myths too, and over 11000 dinosaur pictures from olden days, plus a bunch of old human footprints, experiments about flood, creation of coal/oil, trees vertically standing through the different layers, iron pickaxe inside cretacious rock, man, what punches will the creationists pack next?! god bless. private message me all the evidence of evolution you can please. gather and present please. Real evidence macroevo.
We know what sedimentary layers look like after a flood and none have been found around the same time period on a global scale. The very first archeologists went out searching for this evidence believing wholeheartedly that it was fact and found nothing of the sort. The story of the great flood probably originated because of changes of water levels and flooding of many places around coastal areas thus many stories developed around the world.
uhg, here we go, the old horus routine. Did you know that there were fallen angels who made themselves like unto Gods to the men? Horus was a fallen angel who wanted men to worship him and he deceived them all. Hence the ‘egyption book of the dead’, osirus, gods of the underworld. you’ll see the brilliance of satan is the ability to clash truth and lies to reveal both but people will grasp the lies as well, pleasing satan. all the angels knew god’s word and the bible beforehand, thus… ya
not 5 minutes! like 3 weeks prolly, i dunno, you’re the expert (sounds like)
I have seen this stuff before. It is the same thing that says the grand canyon was formed in about 5 min so the water travels over 5x the speed of sound (not physically possible). Kent Hovind and VFX have spouted this nonsense over and over again and there is no empirical evidence to prove these claims. And you still have not adressed the fact of Horus (I think that is this egyptian god’s name), who was son of the sun god, born to a virgin, a carpender, crucified, resurected 3 days later.
au contraire! i have research that topic highly! let me private message you some vids and stuff to check out! the grand canyon was formed quickly by a huge flood, and scientific studies prove that a tiny river over millions of years doesn’t fit.
But if you look at the sedimentary layers there is no evidence for a world wide flood.
Everything you’ve mentioned I have done the proper scientific thing and looked them up and found them all wanting. No real evidence, no citations, no repeat observations, only creationist lies and quote mining. Please explain to me how even if evolution is false why that would make the Christian God true. All other religions have as much validity as Christianity. In fact there is an Egyptian God that if you read a description of him even devout Christians would think it was talking about Jesus.
Carbon dating relies on the idea that the % of C in the atmospere has remained constant. One thing I remember learning is that the carbon dating can be seriously screwed up if the sample was exposed to water. I recall a test when scientists carbon dated a seal that had died days prior to be over 1500 years old.” two random quotes when I googled ‘Flaws in Carbon Dating’ … Honestly, I take it by faith that the world wide flood messed up any presumptions regarding successful dating methods…
My life is science, what I do is consider things and study things. Carbon dating does not work in all situations so there are other dating methods. There is evidence to support carbon dating not any religion, therefore there is no faith involved because faith involves belief without evidence. Why do you follow Jesus so strongly, is it fear of hell or dislike from others around you? All of your “flaws” of carbon dating are Hovinds BS and potholer addresses them thoroughly in this video.
by the way, potholer picks and choses, he skips right over kent hovind’s point in 1:33 if you freeze it, from about the mammoth being seperate ages according to its placement. that was way back in 1949 it was having issues just like it is today. but a hearty evolution-believer who thinks he’s all high n’ mighty will jump into this trying to make himself look sophistimacated and shout the F word a few times, thus, making himself look like the golden boy for evolution. *sigh, im done here.
potholer’s explanation for why carbon14 dating is true: “of course it works, it’s been done.” ohhhhhh, so because they’ve carbon dated something, it works, right? all the faulty dates can just be thrown out and keep the ones that match up right? what are they matching up with? other dating methods? rock layers? fossils? what about the dinosaur bones they had dated without telling them they were dinosaur bones and they were wicked younger, and then they said it was dino bones n’ re-did em
thanks for your comment. try considering things rather than throwing them out immediately. i didnt throw out this dating method immediately. i accepted it, then seeked out flaws. go ahead and search ‘flaws in carbon dating’ and see what you come up with. it’s not rocket science, just science, and since carbon 14 dating cannot be proven to be absolute, why bother following it with such faith? because you’ll do anything to deny Christ. why? possibly due to the pride of satan within you.
thanks for your comments. i’ve seen this video over three times, thanks. if i have to hear pothole say the “f—ing” word one more time, i might cry. he doesn’t understand the evidence of carbon 14 assumptions being false. they have to assume there’s a 30,000 year equilibrium, but, if the world isn’t 30,000 years old… uh oh, assumptions create errors. when scientists use several different methods to date something, they usually get a broad area of years, like in the millions apart… sad
“carbon dating was created when? 1946? take something that was dated then and redate it today, it might be massively different.”
BaBaBaBlazin, this video disproves the silly assertions you are making. Did you just not watch the video and get right into to bullshit spouting?
Beautiful video!
Actually, the celebration of the spring equinox and the various pagan fertility rituals were co-opted by Christians. Why do you think EGGS and BUNNIES are involved? Because there’s FERTILITY involved.
Just like Christmas was a pagan winter solstice feast. Saturnalia.
You who think we haven’t read your book of myths and found them completely ludicrous.
I am sure he won’t understand the proper use of those scientific terms, but between these last 2 comments you just kicked his ass. Though he will never accept that.
Sure, just present some objective, empirical evidence for them. Points will be deducted for non sequiturs and confirmation bias.
There’s no known mechanism for radioactive decay to become unstable- further, you’re ignoring the fact that if radioactive decay had sped up uniformly so as to make a young earth look old, then the resultant heat would have melted the planet.
I, a physics student, have already tried to deal with this moron. I say don’t bother he will just keep spouting moronic creationist claims. All of his “data” I have looked up, and it is all from creationist, Kent Hovind following sites. My advice is just don’t bother BaBaBaBlazin is lost in idiocy and can never return to sanity.
1949, willard libby - won a nobel prize in chemistry in 1960. carbon dating is not the only way to date stuff - and still, you assume that the data would be different - that is not the case.
carbon dating, and radiometric dating in general, is not based on assumption, but on principles of chemistry and physics.
that’s why it’s up to chemists and physicists to assess whether it works or not.
carbon dating was created when? 1946? take something that was dated then and redate it today, it might be massively different. also, carbon dating makes the assumption that carbon 14 is stable due to the assumption that the earth is over 30,000 years old, therefore, since it is not, the dates revealed by this false science are eradically different from the truth, so i sought out other research, not for creationist sake, but science sake, and much of it made complete sense. yay
Thanks for your good wishes. Happy Easter to you.
happy easter! the day we celebrate the resurrection of our sovereign Lord who bought us with a price! i’ve seen many scientific findings! peace to you and grace! learn about God and Jesus for a change!
