No doubt you or popeye who liked this post can provide proof that carbon dating has never worked and is a complete hoax.
So let's see your missing links.
Do you understand the question?
Please provide the sources for your nonsense so that I can refute them.
Hey, you saw the movie Jaws right?
Here's an interesting article about an extinct shark tooth that is millions of years old that says:
"Carcharocles megalodon is the largest shark that ever lived, and was an apex predator that fed on marine mammals from about 15.9 to 2.6 million years ago, according to a peer-reviewed research article by Catalina Pimiento and Christopher Clements published in October 2014."
Girl on vacation finds 2 massive Megalodon teeth at the beach
Make sure you click on the link for the research paper in a reputable peer-reviewed scientific journal on shark teeth like this.
I'll have some questions for you and popeye about it soon.
It's about time you two read a reputable peer-reviewed scientific journal instead of the pseudoscience and outright lies you find at the YEC propaganda websites.

Well, when do you think the Flood was?
Bishop Ussher's date for the Flood was 2348 BC, which would be 4363 years ago.
Dr. Dino (Kent Hovind) and Henry Morris (father of the modern YEC cult movement) and Ken Ham and his YEC propaganda machine Answers in Genesis give dates for the Flood very close to the 2348 BC.
They cannot waver much from this date because if they do so their entire YEC model falls apart.
Not that the YEC model has any credibility to begin with.

No, YECs could never get those dates published in reputable peer-reviewed scientific journals, because there is no scientific evidence for a global flood around 4400 years ago.
YECs can get the dates in comic books like Jack Chick's and Ken Ham's.
Incidentally, what is your approximate date for the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
And do you believe that your date can be verified by a dating method you accept?
If so, what is that dating method?
Hey now, anybody else who has the answers to these questions, feel free to enlighten us all.

Yep a shark..its a shark and that shark did not turn into a buffalo ...no matter what your religion tells you.
And everybody knows carbon dating is a false science...if you have not heard that? You heard it first here from me

I mean besides popeye to second your opinion.
And your sources are?
Please provide links from reputable peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Okay, I know you can't do that.
Whatever your sources are, please furnish them via links.
Do you understand what I am asking here?
I would like some evidence besides the results of your Ellen G. White-like vision.
Do you understand what I am asking here?
Some mindless drivel like evolution is a religion and my mama was not a monkey does not support your statement that carbon dating is a false science.
@ JackH
Well you didn’t respond when I sent this in private, so I guess I’ll ask it publically now because I am very curious about how you feel about the following things seeing as how you say you’re a Christian on your profile, but then again it says you’re 98 years old too. I understand how you feel about Dinosaurs, the flood, a young earth, carbon dating, peer reviewed science papers, and boy don’t we all by now. What I don’t know is ANYTHING else because that’s all you will talk about.
Do you believe in the virgin birth? That Mary had Jesus without knowing the touch of a man? To the best of my knowledge that hasn’t happened again nor had any peer reviewed papers written on it, so how do you feel about that one?
Do you believe that Jesus did the miracles written about in the bible, like walking on water, healing the sick and crippled, raising the dead, multiplying the loafs and fish, etc., etc…? Again there is no way to scientifically prove any of that. As a Christian, do you believe any of that took place? Where do you stand on these issues?
Now for the big one, do you believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, was put in a tomb for 3 days, and was resurrected defeating sin and death and making a way to reconcile the sinner with God?
Do you truly believe these things? Some and not others? Or is this really just a game to you, and you’re just here to make fun of the dumb Christians? I am just really curious on your view of these things and what lead you to even want to be a Christian, because honestly from your comments it seems like you don’t even like us Christians very much. Please just be honest.

Okay, you want questions answered?
You answer my questions first and I will answer yours.
1. Why do you believe that the Earth is around 6,000 years old?
2. Why do you believe that there was a global flood 4,000 to 5,000 years ago?
3. Why do you believe that dinosaurs coexisted with humans?
I think you said that you have only been a Christian for a short time.
Obviously, you didn't figure out this age of the earth, global flood, humans riding dinosaurs et al all by yourself.
You get your YEC worldview from someplace or somebody else.
Where or who is that, exactly?

There are actually quite a number of different dating techniques.
*Uranium to Lead --- minerals --- 1M to 4.5B years
*Rubidium to Strontium --- minerals --- 60M to 4.5B years
*Potassium to Argon --- minerals --- 10K to 3B years
*Uranium Series Disequibrium --- minerals, shell, bone, teeth, coral --- 0 to 0.4M years
*Carbon 14 --- minerals, shell, wood, bone, teeth --- 0 to 40K years
*Fission Track--- minerals, natural glass --- 0.5M to 1B years
*Thermoluminsecence --- minerals, natural glass --- 0 to 0.5M years
*Electron Spin Resonance --- minerals, teeth, shell, coral --- 1K to 1M years
*Geomagnetic Polarity --- minerals --- 0.8M to 200M years
*Amino Acid Racemization --- shells, other biocarbonates --- 500 to 0.3M years
*Obsidian Hydration --- natural glass --- 500 to 0.2M years
*Dendrochronology --- tree rings --- 0 to 12K years
*Lichenometry --- lichens --- 100 to 9K years
These and other dating technologies are remarkably consistent with each other. Each of course has its own limitations and like any scientific measurement or calculation each has a range of possible error which is carefully calculated.

All right fair enough but I would really like answers to my questions as well after I answer these, unless you just want to be exposed as a troll by not answering them.
I think you said that you have only been a Christian for a short time. I have been, only since 9-28-13, but hardly see what that has to do with the price of tea in China. You say you ARE a Christian yet seem to do nothing but question His word, how does that work? I am very curious to hear some of your reasoning is for becoming a Christian, and what you think makes one a Christian in the first place.
Now I’ve answered your questions with as much honesty and respect as possible, I would really appreciate the same respect towards my questions.
- Why do you believe that the Earth is around 6,000 years old? I don’t claim to know how old the earth is, I’ve never even added up all the dates given in the Bible myself, nor have I EVER claimed it to be 6,000 years old. I simply have no idea how old it is, but I do not feel it’s millions or billions of years old because the Bible doesn’t account for that much time from my understanding when I read it. All that said I really don’t spend too much time on it.
- Why do you believe that there was a global flood 4,000 to 5,000 years ago? Again I’m not sure of the exact dates, but yes I believe there was a global flood, and that is where all the fossils came from, along with the coal and oil deposits. I also think that the history of ancient civilizations, and where they started and spread from, their own religions and beliefs all seem to line up very well with the flood account in my opinion.
- Why do you believe that dinosaurs coexisted with humans? Because I understand the Bible to say that ALL life on earth was created in the same week and that would have to include dinosaurs, I also think Behemoth described in Job 40:15 is a description of a Dinosaur. I don’t have a “peer reviewed paper” to prove that to you, but when God revealed Himself to me forever ripping the veil that convinced me His word was true. It’s really that simple for me, I KNOW God and believe His word to be my authority period. So you can chop it all up to me being “one of those insane Bible believers”, and yes I know there are others that believe the bible that do see millions of years, and that’s fine with me, it’s just not what Gods shown me or confirmed in my heart.

Ah now we have the truth. Peers means Jack's peers lol no one else's. The fact that they might be highly qualified scientists agreeing with each other doesn't matter. What matters is that they are peers according to Jack LOL In other words, it must be in a journal of those who agree with me. And guess what? Those who are in that journal all agree with me. Amazing!!!
Have you EVER examined their evidence? Or do you just laugh it off like people laughed Darwin off?
probably around 2400 BC
I'm not really all that bothered lol
historical records
