Does radio-carbon dating disprove evolution?

The Health Physics Society website gives some info to help get you started. This source linked from Wiki gives a value of 266,000 ⁴⁰K disintegrations per minute, roughly 4400 per second which is more or less in the same ballpark.The disintegration energy of ⁴⁰K is apparently about 1.35MeV. So the energy released per second in a 70Kg man is So roughly 5.75 GeV per second.The ever-handy OnlineConversion.com says 5.75GeV is 9.212519475e-10 joule - so we have 9.2x10^-10 Joules per second - i.e. 9.2x10^-10Watts.So if the decay rate was accelerated a million or even billion fold the heat generated in the body wouldn't be too bad. Kind of disappointing - I hoped it would pan out that Noah would have been nicely cooked from the inside out Of course, this doesn't mean all that Beta radiation happening inside your body wouldn't be seriously bad for your health. It's too late to work it out now but a quick look at the dosage levels this would equate to a dangerous level of Sieverts.Mind you, I haven't done any of these sort of calculations since I left University 26 years ago so there may well be one or more howling mistakes in my working out.
