21. Apparent Dip: How Old Is This Rock?
    I am more lenient when nongeologists misunderstand radiometric dating techniques, but when the data is something that you depend on, well.

    Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar I had originally meant to take on the Just Science week Challenge, where I'd write a new entry every day about science and science only, no Bears, no music of the week, no asinine and unproductive bill brought up by some pandering politician. But, I flaked. Brian of ..Or Something fame kicked this challenge's ass. But, I decided that instead of daily posts, why not one ginormous one, guaranteed not to be read by even my most dedicated friend? So here you go, the science of Geochronology. I intend to come back to different aspect of this topic in the future, just as I have discussed it in the recent past. Geochronology is an umbrella term for all of the techniques we use to determine the absolute ages of rocks and/or individual minerals. All modern geochronology is based on measuring the stable daughter atoms produced during the radioactive decay of naturally occurring elements, most notably uranium (U), thorium (Th), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), and lutecium (Lu). It is now common and fairly simple to measure the absolute abundances of these elements in rocks, or in many cases individual crystals, with a high degree of precision. As a geochronologist, the real work comes with figuring out what those ages mean.

    Extractions: Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth I will attempt to give you a few answers to your questions concerning radiometric dating. If you want to study what creationists say about radiometric dating in depth, I recommend three books, The Mythology of Modern Dating Methods and Studies in Flood Geology , both by John Woodmorappe and Creation's Tiny Mystery by Robert Gentry. John Woodmorappe's books are advertised elsewhere on my web site. These books contain an exhaustive study of radiometric dates that do not fit the results evolutionists expect. There is also an exhaustive ongoing study of this subject called the RATE (Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth) Group, a team of six scientists who are investigating the subject in depth, and have published the first of several studies. There are several methods of radiometric dating. Carbon-14 dating has limited value for evolution because its half-life is too short. The method assumes that the production of Carbon-14 in the atmosphere from nitrogen is a process that is in equilibrium, and it is not.

    Extractions: ...while you read We are expected to believe that the issue is settled. We are told that there are methods by which we can determine accurately the age of this incredible earth. Does radiometric dating provide the desperately needed 'proof' that evolutionists have long been searching for? Is it accurate enough? Is it valid? In the next few thoughts, I seek to enlighten you to the reality of the fallacy of radiometric dating, and answer these probing questions. Each of these methods rely upon the common fact that the parent component in a system (e.g., uranium) will gradually 'decay' into the daughter component (e.g., lead). To gain an index of time since the original formation of the system, you document the relative proportions of the two components. Therefore, based on the certain amounts of the components in a sample, you can tell how old the sample is.

    Extractions: Mass spectrometer used to determine the proportions of isotopes contained in a sample of igneous rock Radiometric dating utilizes the decay rates of certain radioactive atoms to date rocks or artifacts. Uniformitarian geologists consider this form of dating strong evidence that the Earth is billions of years old. However, research by creationists has revealed a large number of problems with radiometric dating . In some cases such as Carbon-14 dating , radioactive dating actually gives strong evidence for a young Earth , while other methods such as K-Ar dating and Isochron dating are based on faulty assumptions and so unreliable as to be useless. See Also Carbon-14 dating : Carbon-14 dating gives solid evidence for a young Earth;

    Extractions: Jump to: navigation search See Radiometric dating in Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia. Radiometric dating methods (i.e. isochron concordia/discordia etc) exploit the useful fact that radioactive atoms decay in accordance with a highly regular function: 50% of any given kind of radioactive atoms will decay in X amount of time, where the value of 'X' depends on exactly which kind of atoms you're measuring the decay of. The most common radioactive decays used for this purpose are listed in the following table. First Decay Particle First Decay Half-life U alpha Gyr U alpha 0.704 Gyr Th alpha 14.0 Gyr Rb beta 48.8 Gyr K EC* 1.25 Gyr Sm alpha 106 Gyr C beta 5,730 years Carbon-14 was included because it is often used to date various human artifacts. From the mathematics of radioactive decay, it is easy to see that it is useless beyond a few tens of thousands of years. Geologists prefer most of the others because most rocks are much older; creationists who talk about carbon dating of rocks reveal a remarkable ignorance of the subject.

    Extractions: See this page in: Russian - Русский H ow old is planet Earth? There are enormous differences of opinion. The most common view is that Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Others say it is older or younger. The lowest age defended on a scientific basis is in the 6 to 10 thousand year range. Evolutionism, of course, requires billions of years to support the plausibility of life's emergence and of subsequent Evolution from "amoeba" to man. Theoretically, Creationism remains workable within a wide range of age estimates. Scientists have proposed numerous age estimation methods. Most systems promoted by Evolutionists involve radioactivity. Various radioactive elements are involved, including Carbon-14, Uranium-238, Thorium-232, and Potassium-40. By the way, it is important to understand that most rock strata "dates" were actually assigned long before the first use of radioactive age estimating methods in 1911. The Carbon-14 age estimating method is, at best, only useful for estimating the age of things that are thousands of years old, not millions or billions. And it does not work on rocks or thoroughly mineralized fossils; it is only useful for relatively well-preserved organic materials such as cloth, wood, and other non-fossilized materials. Other methods must be used to estimate the age of rocks and minerals. Two of the most widely-known systems are the potassium-argon method and the uranium-lead method.

    Extractions: By Andy Weeks Is life younger than 7,000 years as is the claim of Young-Earth Creationists ? Others like some Jehovah’s Witnesses and Bible Students believe that the creative days of Genesis are each 7,000-years in length . Do these conclusions agree with scientific data of our modern day? We will examine the arguments for both the 24-hour creative days as well as 7,000-year creative days. When these have been understood we will cross examine them in the light of scientific evidence and see how long life on our Earth has been here. If the evidence points to less than 23,000 years as Bible Students believe, then we can conclude that the 7,000-year creative day is correct. If the evidence points to less than 7,000-years then we can conclude that the 24-hour creative day is correct and perhaps embrace creationist claims. We will seek to prove that advanced life ahs indeed been around not only for many thousands of years and point even to millions of years. One way to ascertain out how long life has been on our Earth is through radiometric dating.

As soon as atheists or evolutionists see that they will start with the anti-religious hysteria and stick their fingers in their ears and scream 'la la la la la la!'. They won't hear any of the scientific evidence. These points they are trying to make are unnecessary.
