How about fewer but higher quality messages?
My impression is that the signal/noise ratio is getting pretty small. How about better quality messages?

Poetry and fantasy geology don't cut it - 48 hour suspension
Idiot, troll, or idiot-troll, that is the question.

Not C14 dating - And this is not a radiometric dating topic
There are radiometric dating methods other than C14, and the dating that Coragyps refers to is not via C14 dating.
Regardless, if you wish to argue the validity of C14 or any other radiometric dating methodology, the Dates and Dating forum is the place to do such. Please look there for an appropriate topic.
Adminnemooseus
Added by edit: Coyote has bumped an appropriate C14 topic, Radioactive carbon dating.
Edited by Adminnemooseus, : See above.

In other words, magic aka bullshit.

A side note from the admin-mode
1) Concerning message formatting - I've "personal messaged" you, asking that you make it a practice to insert blank lines between your paragraphs. Doing such makes for nicer reading, regardless of the merit or lack of merit of your content - If nothing else, it looks much better!
2) I fail to see the relevance of whether or not an aspect of scientific study can be properly be called geologic study. Please drop that issue, or at least propose a new topic specific to such. Minnemooseus would even be willing to "Great Debate" you on the matter.
Now a side side note from the non-admin mode:
Geology is about forces acting on material with results pertaining to the earth.
If you had stopped right there, you would have been in pretty good shape. Although substituting "processes" for "forces" would be an improvement.
Chemical breakdown of rocks is chemical processes.. Not geology.
Chemical breakdown of rocks is "A process acting on material with results pertaining to the earth." You contradict yourself.
While I make no claims to being even in the upper half of "geologist quality", I did manage to graduate college with a geology degree. And much to all of what you are saying isn't geology, was indeed covered in my geology classes. To be blunt, you don't know what you're talking about.
Adminnemooseus (and Minnemooseus)
