Check out this link about Carbon Dating.. It's really helpful.
Another great example of AIG lying because they know that Biblical Christians are gullible and easily fooled.
In the previous example I showed you how they cheated misusing radiocarbon dating to measure something older than the limits of measurement for that technique.
This link is an example of them cheating the other direction, misusing K-Ar dating to date something younger than the lower limit for that method.
From the lying link to AIG you provided:
There are many examples where the dating methods give ”dates’ that are wrong for rocks of known age. One example is K-Ar ”dating’ of five historical andesite lava flows from Mount Nguaruhoe in New Zealand. Although one lava flow occurred in 1949, three in 1954, and one in 1975, the ”dates’ range from less than 0.27 to 3.5 Ma.
Well no shit.
The lower range of today's K-Ar technology is around 200,000 years, some of the very best systems may read down to 100,000 years.
The people at AIG know that. Read the age of something that is 100,000 years old and you will get a reading of about 100,000 years using today's very best methods and equipment.
Test something that is 10,000 years old and you will get a reading of 100,000 years.
Test something that is 1,000 years old and you will get a reading of 100,000 years.
Test something that is 100 years old and you will get a reading of 100,000 years.
They knew that before they did the tests.
They were not looking for truth but rather the answer they wanted.
But this case is an even greater example of them lying.
One thing that happens during volcanic activity is that there are inclusions, pieces of older material broken off and carried in the magma.
Again, if they are scientists or even educated laypersons, they know that. Those inclusions will test older than the surrounding magma because, guess what???? They ARE older.
But AIG does NOT post those facts on their website because their goal is to con Biblical Creationists and they know that Biblical Creationists are so ignorant that they will not spot the flim-flam.
Taking money from the pockets of Biblical Creationists is easy work and relatively safe as con jobs go.
