Stopped reading after 9.7 million. Can a species that can't even cure the common cold, really measure the age of something accurately that far back in time? No.

Freshly killed seals carbon dated to 1300 years. Living snails dated to 2300 years. Fresh wood cut out of a living tree dated to 10000 years old. Carbon 14 pseudo science exposed.

I'll wait for natural news to weigh in.

Gwad

I like where this thread is going, our origins story of linear development is pillared by carbon 14 dating. #TearItDown

To be honest, I didn't even read the article and don't much care. But with the 9.7 million years headline, it gave me a chance to type "Race was there!"

Creationist confirmed. Did you speak in tongues and do a Jesus induced hot lap around your Pentecostal church today?

Gullible sap confirmed. Believes everything he reads from the experts without confirming that the science behind it is actually sound.

Missed opportunity to say "I only read the headline". Sad!

The science behind carbon dating is sound. What's a better alternative? That second Scientific American article does nothing to prove your point. It's about calibrating carbon dating estimates. Just a good example of how the science continually refines and improves itself.

That's hyperbole. People like you lap it up.

You mean like when all you have to sell your point is hyperbole and discredited fraudulent studies then scream "Case Closed, End of Discussion"?

HL: The groundbreaking knowledge is that we have comparable finds only in East Africa. And these are much, much younger. These species are well known as Ardi and Lucy, and their canines look very similar to the one here from Eppelsheim, but they are only two, three, four or five million years old, and Eppelsheim is almost 10. So the question is: What has happened?

DW: You mean - how this great ape got up to the Rhine valley, or whether the species in Africa came from Europe?

HL: Yeah, we have similar species in Africa, but we don't know where this great ape came from. We do not have comparable finds from southern Europe, even from in between maybe Greece or Turkey. From there, we know of great ape fossils, but they all look much different. And so it's a great mystery.



Looks like the Germans want to make the Rhine the cradle of humanity. White Power

Carbon 14 is made from nitrogen in the air being struck by space radiation or whatever. The nitrogen turns into a heavy form of carbon (carbon14) and then they just measure the radioactive half life of carbon 14 particles laying around shit they find in the ground to make a matter of fact statement. Welcome to Science.

I like to argue with science. I do that.
