Emusan:

Mr. Too know we've seen you, the conutless words you put up here and the OP what make the different?

The blind glass you put-on couldn't allow you to see clearly where it was written that Dr. Libby's work ignored the descripancy of nonequillibrium which is later true.

In a simplest form nonequillibrium means the production rate of carbon14 is not equall the removal rate of carbon14 which it has been found out to be true but at the initial work of Dr. Libby he noticed that for carbon14 to reach equillibrium it will take 30,000yrs but ignore this and proceded to assume ratio 14/12---Is it clear to you now?

My question is if carbon14 is it out of equillibrium till today and it will take carbon14 30,000yrs to reach this equillibrium, does earth old or young?

Tree-ring dating gives us a wonderful check on the radiocarbon dating method for the last 8000 years. That is, we can use carbon-14 dating on a given tree-ring (the 8000-year sequence having been assembled from the overlapping tree-ring patterns of living and dead trees) and compare the resulting age with the tree-ring date. A study of the deviations from the accurate tree-ring dating sequence shows that the earth's magnetic field has an important effect on carbon-14 production. When the dipole moment is strong, carbon-14 production is suppressed below normal; when it is weak, carbon-14 production is boosted above normal. What the magnetic field does is to partially shield the earth from cosmic rays which produce carbon-14 high in the atmosphere.

Dr Libby's experiment is based on the fact that the rate of removal and deposition is the same but the evidence for the earth’s having a progressively stronger magnetic field in the past is based on reliable historical measurements and “fossil” magnetism trapped in ancient pottery.

So how do you make you calculations when the best estimates indicate that the earth’s magnetic field was twice as strong 1,400 years ago, and possibly four times as strong 2,800 years ago?

The miller-Urey experiment has been thoroughly debunked. It is interesting that serious biologists have condemned it to the thrash can of fantasy while ignorant "pseudo-scientists" bandy it around like some trophy.

Please...Please...Please show me a proper peer-reviewed article that rubbishes this experiment.....We all know that the results of the experiment were later improved and more accurate findings reached but please show me where it was rubbished

Emusan: @Evil Brain

Try to read message and digest it before you reply. Where did you see it in my Op that carbon-14 is being used for dating earth?

It was stated clearly in my Op that Carbon-14 is use to date once living things because all living things absorb carbon-14 and carbon-12 through food and breathing it can't be used to date ROCK. The title read "why earth could not as old as billion years" I didn't say 14C is used to date earth.

Scientist aware carbon-14 is not constant but ignore the nonequilibrium by Libby and the result derive from 14C dating are still hold as true til date.

What you fail to notice is that nobody says scientist didn't use many method of dating but the assumption in their work to calibrate the instrument uses to arrive at specific figure is what is in question not the method. the method and calculation might be correct but give wrong concluding figure.

Dr. Libby the founder of radiocarbon dating in his early work believe that for 14C to reach equilibrium it will take 30,000years but today 14C is still out of equilibrium which means earth isn't yet up to 30,000years then compare to another result that gives billion years. Definitely if you study those methods you will see a critical assumption because most of them(scientists) believe in EVOLUTION so earth must be old to support their claim.

I believe you know that dealing with the PAST needs some kind of assumption because nobody was there and to witness the event.

Radiocarbon dating (or simply carbon dating) is a radiometric dating technique that uses the decay of carbon-14 (14
C) to estimate the age of organic materials, such as wood and leather, up to about 58,000 to 62,000 years.[1] Carbon dating was presented to the world by Willard Libby in 1949, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Since its introduction it has been used to date many items, including samples of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Shroud of Turin, enough Egyptian artifacts to supply a chronology of Dynastic Egypt,[2] and Ötzi the Iceman.[3]

The dating technique is based on the fact that carbon is found in various forms, including the main stable isotope (12
C) and an unstable isotope (14 C) in all organic matter. Through photosynthesis, plants absorb both forms from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. When an organism dies, it contains a ratio of 14C to 12C, but, as the 14
C decays with no possibility of replenishment, the ratio decreases at a regular rate. This rate is known as the half-life of 14C. The measurement of 14C decay provides an indication of the age of any carbon-based material (a raw radiocarbon age).[4] However, over time there are small fluctuations in the ratio of 14C to 12C in the atmosphere, fluctuations that have been noted in natural records of the past, such as sequences of tree rings and cave deposits. These records allow for the fine-tuning, or calibration, of the indications derived from measuring the carbon ratio. A raw radiocarbon age, once calibrated, yields a calendar date.

One of the most frequent uses of radiocarbon dating is to estimate the age of organic remains from archaeological sites.

Samples older than the upper age-limit cannot be dated because the small number of remaining intrinsic 14C atoms will be obscured by the 14C background atoms introduced into the samples while they still resided in the environment, during sample preparation, or in the detection instrument. As of 2007, the limiting age for a 1 milligram sample of graphite is about ten half-lives, approximately 60,000 years.[41] This age is derived from that of the calibration blanks used in an analysis, whose 14C content is assumed to be the result of contamination during processing (as a result of this, some facilities[41] will not report an age greater than 60,000 years for any sample).

A variety of sample processing and instrument-based constraints have been postulated to explain the upper age-limit. To examine instrument-based background activities in the AMS instrument of the W. M. Keck Carbon Cycle Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Laboratory of the University of California, a set of natural diamonds were dated. Natural diamond samples from different sources within rock formations with standard geological ages in excess of 100 Ma yielded14C apparent ages 64,920 ± 430 BP to 80,000 ± 1100 BP as reported in 2007.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating

Where does the 5,000 year limit come from when the same method you describe is been used to date material 60,000 years old which is much more 'older' than the 30,000 years you talk about as equilibrium.

There must be. We are still searching. We may never find, but all ideas and theories and fairy tales advocated so far are either wanting or pure balooney.

Now you understand why no sane atheist, theist or deist will be busting his head over a question that only be answered with questions? Obviously its open for debate but i bet my two cents that NO atheist can successfully counter all points raised by Deepsight....Including the BB and Evolution crusaders

mazaje: Why can't atheist just agree that the big bang and evolution are plausible explanations for what we see around. . .The dogmatic approach that some atheist hold about these explanations is mind boggling. . .Big bang, evolution seem very plausible and actually explain a lot with some evidence to back them up. . . .But we do not know them to be facts, do we?. . .

Oh Please.....I don't expect to hear you say this.

Its downright questioning of your atheism.
