Re: Cold Fusion

C14 has only been proven to be formed in the upper atmosphere. We have reputable scientists (not creationists) of the department of energy who reviewed 15 years of cold fusion experiments and concluded the Coulomb barrier to great to be overcome by cold fusion by the normal conditions within the earth.
Yes we know that you said that. A few questions.
What is the atomic number of Nitrogen?
What is the atomic number Carbon?
What the hell does all that nonsense about cold fusion have to do with anything?
Do you even know what fusion is?
Do you even know what fission is?

Re: the usual idiocy from some evos
Percy, help me on one other point.
I was taught that one of the reasons that radiocarbon dating was limited in scope to around 50,000 years was that beyond that level, it becomes hard to separate readings from what one would expect as a general background noise.
It would seem to me that anyone using radiocarbon dating where it shows an age greater than 50,000 years (maybe slightly longer with newer instrumentation) is simply looking at nonsense readings that have no meaning at all.
Is that still pretty much the case?

Re: Thanks Purple and Matt...
Leaching does not separate isotopes. It acts on 14C and 12C equally, and does change the 14C/12C ratio.
Does or does NOT?

Re: creationist honesty test, -- pawn to queen 5?
but john, the scripture doesn't say a day IS a thousand years it says a day is LIKE a thousand years and a thousand years is LIKE a day, you have to pick it appart to make your claims, you are just making stuff up - your claim of a 13k earth and using scripture trying to prove this is just willful ignorance of your own text.
It is even sillier than that and a great example of the metal gymnastics Biblical Contortionists go through. They take the "one day is like a Thousand Years" and then only selectively apply it to the six days of creation. It's fun to watch them dance and spin, but it is a tragedy how they butcher both the Bible and Christianity to satisfy their personal Hubris.
