There are the Cardenas Basalts of the Grand Canyon Supergroup at the bottom of Grand Canyon and the Uinkaret plateau lava flows which are much higher up.

Rb/Sr radioisotope measurements were made of these rocks. The Uinkaret lava flows were measure and computed to be ~1.3 Billion years old while the lower Cardenas Basalts were measure and computed to be ~1.0 Billion years old.

Anomaly?

Indeed this is an anomaly in the data, but it is explainable. In this particular case, Austin knew he was sampling younger lava flows in the Uinkaret rocks that had been contaminated by older crustal material.

I never asked you to believe anything. You are absolutely free to beleive whatever you want. Tell you what, if you can tell me why I should believe your 'scientific' information and then I'll tell you why you should believe my references. Fair enough?

Indeed, but 'not your own facts.'

But bringing relion into debates is wrongful. Its only fair not to bring religon into a fourum and rebound off that.

Not sure what you mean, but I'd say that it is creationists who bring religion into the discussion. In fact, they are fond of calling evolution a religion!

Clearly we have Evolutionists and Creationists. But bringing religon into these fourums is a bit lousy..seriously..

Again, please amplify. Who is bringing religion into the discussion and how do you avoid the topic?
