I mean last night
LOL i didn't ignore it
i actually responded to it
Dude
Forget it
This channel is π©
i demonstrated how it doesnt disprove the accuracy of carbon dating
nope your lying no anyways I got no more time for a indoctrinated fool.
lmfao
the absoltue state of creationists
they mentally shut down when their stupid claims are debunked
thats how fragile their worldview is
hey @π―ππππππππ―πππππΊ(TruthFlix) wanna talk about endogenous retroviral DNA?
I think Ill go into carbon dating for all the creationists here. When cosmic rays (high energy atomic nuclei) interact with the nitrogen 14 in the atmosphere, Carbon 14 is made. When the Carbon 14 bonds with Oxygen, it creates Carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is consumed by plants via photosynthesis so they can produce glucose. When an animal eats the plant, it also eats the carbon 14, this means that all animals have a bit of Carbon 14 in them at all times. The ratio of C14 to C12 in the atmosphere is usually the same, meaning the ratio of C12 and C14 in living organisms is almost always the same.
when the animal dies, it stops consuming C14, meaning the C14 is free to decay. here is a thing i made on C14 decay https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/452649635589259265/642047443302875158/20190925_121607.jpg
C14 has a half life of 5,730 years. If we know the current amount of C14 within a specimen, and the amount it had when it died, then we can easily determine its age (we can determine this by measuring the amount of C12 in it. Since the ratio of C12 to C14 is consistent, its easy to determine the original amount of C14).
We determine its age using the exponential decay equation. Here is an example https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/452649635589259265/642047443848003607/20190925_121615.jpg
Carbon dating has its limitations however. After 50,000 years the amount of Carbon 14 is minuscule, making contamination a huge issue. Contamination is usually not a big issue because its so small.

@Citizen Z wat
@Julie Shoraga alright, then how come we carbon date things older than 10,000 years
dead things that is
when god made the Earth, did he just bury a whole bunch of skeletons with an amount of C14 that suggests they are older than they actually are?
this is a massive problem for the young Earth
Carbon dating is flawed at best. Likely its complete garbage
ok how is it flawed
They dont know how much carbon was in the atmosphere thousands of years ago for 1
there are ways of finding out
the ratio appears to have mostly been consistent
throughout the ages
We also tested it on objects with already known ages
It can also be calibrated using tree rings
@Citizen Z is that it?
HEY
@OLD MELBY hi
No there is more
more?
more what?
Evolution is true. This is not debateable
@Citizen Z not only does it not matter the amount of carbon that was in the atmosphere, but we donβt use carbon dating when a sample is more than a few thousand years old
