carbon dating is only used for dating organic matter. it is only used for things younger than 50,000-70,000 years old. They do not use carbon dating on anything older than that because they know it does not work on things older than that.

So how do you know its under 50k years in the first place?

You are literally adding 1 and 1 together and making 15 out of it lol. You're leaping to conclusions and using assumptions rather than unbiasedly looking at the information supplied and responding only to that. This just isnt' that big of a deal for you to be so concerned about, but if you want to show concern, try to be concerned about the information given....instead of being concerned about your personal assumptions about that data.

I make a post that says we can't trust carbon dating over a certain amount of time

and get pulled around by guys upset that I advertised carbon dating can't be trusted over a certain amount of time.

Duh, other atoms/radioisotopes exist and can be used for dating, but this thread was about what scientists are recently saying about carbon dating.


Most people don't know of other isotopes used for dating, so posting something like this has more value than those upset that I shared this today allow themselves to see.

Re: CARBON DATING, the gold standard in archeological dating, IS FOUND TO BE INACCURATE. Timescale of Human Evolution/History must be revised
Man, thought people more science educated on here.

The whole dating thing is dependent on the half-life of the element being measured. Elements decay at a known rate.

Uranium eventually decays into lead for example.

Carbon-14 decays into Carbon-12. The half-life is 5,700 years.

Animals absorb carbon-14 when alive and STOP absorbing it when they die.

If you measure the amount of carbon-14 in a fossil versus carbon-12 you can calculate how much has decayed and therefore when the thing died roughly.

The same goes with the minerals in volcanic ash which are newly created when they are ejected. That means the decay clock starts right then.

If you can date an ash bed above and below a dinosaur bone bed you can therefore roughly estimate when the dinosaur was lived and died.

Re: CARBON DATING, the gold standard in archeological dating, IS FOUND TO BE INACCURATE. Timescale of Human Evolution/History must be revised
It has been well known carbon dating is not the most accurate for decades. They do not use this method to determine the age of the earth. As far as archaeology, how do you think they figured our carbon dating is flawed. There are many methods to date things. The older we go the larger the range of dates possible. When you are dealing with a timescale of 6.4 GA what is an error of +-50 years? We know with certainty that humans have been around 200K years. So what if we get the date of the shroud of turin wrong.

Exactly.

It's the relative ages that are actually more important to understand our ancient history.

The last dinosaur is always going to be like 40X older than the first hominid no matter what ruler you use.

You can't make those timelines cross you would have to thrown out ALL dating methods and just say everything lived at the same time.

But then you would have to explain where are the non-fossilized dinosaur bones at human campsites and evidence of human predation on dinosaurs. Creationists never consider the evidence THEIR theory would have to produce do they.

You are talking about carbon dating. They only use it for things under 50-70 thousand years old. Why would you say "but threatens our understanding of the timescale of Human evolution through the discovery of tools, ancient campsites & the like." when todays humans have been here for a lot longer than 50,000 years. Approximately 200,000 years. It sounded like you thought there is only carbon dating. And then the link you posted had nothing to do with carbon dating.

Carbon dating is ONE method of dating fossils, and yes, its not accurate for longer periods. But there are many other methods:
Radiocarbon dating - for dating organic materials (Maximum 50,000 to 60,000 years old)
Dendrochronology - for dating trees, and objects made from wood, but also very important for calibrating radiocarbon dates
Thermoluminescence dating - for dating inorganic material including ceramics
Optically or optical dating for archaeological applications
Potassium–argon dating - for dating fossilized hominid remains
Argon–argon dating - for dating fossilized hominid remains
Archaeomagnetic dating - Clay lined fire hearths take on a magnetic moment pointing to the North Pole each time they are fired and then cool. The position of the North Pole for the last time the fire hearth was used can be determined and compared to charts of known locations and dates.
Lead Corrosion Dating.[2]
Amino acid dating[3][4][5][6]
Obsidian hydration dating - a geochemical method of determining age in either absolute or relative terms of an artifact made of obsidian
Rehydroxylation dating - for dating ceramic materials[7]

Even though the half life of C14 is technically 5700 years, the dating calibration starts getting pretty unstable at about 4500 to 5000 years back. They can reasonably carbon date the Thera eruption to 1650 BC, but this is really about the oldest event that has been successfully dated by C14.

Stating that C14 is useful for dates beyond 6000 years old is beyond absurd. There is no such thing. It is a total hoax and myth. C14 dating starts getting really iffy about 5000 years back.

Who or what caused each Great Extinction? Why is it that it seems as though each Great Extinction have the tale-tell signs of being someone's "Great Experiment" then once whoever it is decides their Great Experiment has reached it's conclusion or whatever they exterminate seemingly literally all life on Earth only to later repopulate the Earth with vast amounts of life for yet another Great Experiment?
