chartpolski 27,861 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Isn't "carbon dating" used more as a generic term these days for all element type dating ? Other elements such as uranium-thorite are supposed to be more accurate and have longer half-life's. Studies of cave paintings date some of them as far back as 60,000 years. Interesting subject. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you go past that time frame they use other methods. No it doesn't greb,it been revised many a time over the years an now there saying its twenty thousand years,because there's no absolute determination on it,c14 has a half life of 7000 odd years,so they say,so it's impossible to measure past certain amount of years. But even if it was upto 50,000 years that still not long enough for evoloution. Bearing in mind carbon dating is for organic material,living things When you say they use different methods for older things that don't include organic matter,or humans animals,because there not measuring carbon there measuring potassium to argon,therefore it's no good for measuring life.

You are wrong yet again Francie lad, yes it's true that carbon dating techniques get recalibrated, so what? It has never been accurate to the year or thousandth year in some cases. What has carbon dating got to do with evolution even though you're wrong on that as well. I told you they don't measure carbon on rocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 27,861 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Any thoughts on the Ishtar Gate in Babylon ? Around 3,000 years old it depicts a series of animals, some still with us, such as lions; some now extinct, such as aurochs; and, weirdly, some that can only be described as dragons or dinosaurs ! How did ancient Mesopotamia know about dinosaurs ? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
