    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 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.

    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.

    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!"

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

    Talk about having this place dialed in - now that's leadership by example !!!

    Hope all the n00bz are paying attention

    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.

    So did Einstein. And Keppler, Newton and others. Even your ancestor, Gigantopithecus, understood the laws of science get broken and are replaced by new laws as our knowledge expands. Your 3rd grade science book is not going to stay accurate forever Donnie. Get up to speed.

    OBK just indirectly compared himself to Einstein. That's a new level of special

    There's a bit of truth in this observation, but while science is never completely settled in some areas it's a lot more settled than it was in the time of Keppler, Galileo, and Newton. Those dudes just didn't have the technology to get everything exactly right.

    Somewhat ironic that in a thread about re writing everything we know about science due to a discovery, we would have the settled science team out telling us how science shouldn't be questioned.

    Scientists were vital to White Supremacy. People forget that

    Thanks. We all learned that in Jr High. You may get back to your X-box now.

    You are still in high school, so your science book is probably more up to speed than the quook's. But its still packed with bogus shit, most of which will be disproved 20, 50, 100 years from now. Be more open minded, like btp.
