Smash I didn't know you were Jewish? You sure are missing out when it comes to bacon.

Only off by about 4.5 or so billion years. Lol

That was kinda my point Rob. He corrected me by saying earth was 6000 yo.

You asked a question. I told you what religion puts the earths age at. That’s what happens in a debate if I’m not mistaken.

Yeah no thats right. I knew you would say that bc i wanted to ask you how you explain arrow heads being 10’s of thousands of years old?

How do we know they are tens of thousands of years old?

So you don't believe in carbon dating?

Maybe God made carbon dating make it appear it was that old, as a test of your faith, or for “His” entertainment with these debates. He could create fossils and geology. If he created all things, then he could make things appear as old as he wants them to appear. That’s the catch.

I guess yeah you can make up anything and believe anything you want to sure.

Husky asked for the debate to be one on one so.lets leave it between Hisky and Ohio

Couldn't light just be filered after a far enough distance?
Just looking from a KISS perspective.

No. Carbon dating has been proven to be an ineffective method to age rocks and other materials.

For an example: a newly formed lava rock which people had seen formed and thereby knew how old it was, was sent to a lab for carbon dating. The lab tested it using carbon dating, and found the rock to be millions of years old. There are many other examples, but that is just one.

An atheist, a cross fitter, and a vegan walk into a bar. How do I know? They all told me what they were within one minute.

Except there is no such thing as a "new" rock. The elements of it's make up are "millions of years old".

I'm not claiming any dates, but the only way any dating method can be proven as fact is by observation. Otherwise it's just theary. Any thing that goes beyond historical observation or record can't be more than theory or speculation.
Unless it's in existence. But putting a date on any thing outside of observation is theary. Even with record's it takes a certain amount of faith. Otherwise we would have to take historical records as factual.

If it was melted rock billions of years old why wouldnt it still be considered that old even though it was just spewed out? Sand isnt technically a rock but it is the remains of eroded sandstone millions of years old.

You can't carbon date a rock...it has to be something carbon based that was once alive. it's measuring the carbon decay.

Somebody is poorly informed about how carbon 14 dating works. It is mathematical in nature (measuring the known decay rate of the isotope), so it has a maximum dating range of about 60,000 years. The only errors that can occur with this method is if the sample was collected incorrectly or that one overlooks the tests age limitations.

There are various other techniques to test older materials.

As they're poorly informed on that, what else are they poorly informed about.??
