Re: B.P. ?
And just in case: Ma = million years old/ago Ga = billion years old/ago

I thought I'd add that the ice is not restricted to the arctic regions. Most mountain ranges in the U.S. (above certain elevations) also have glaciers (just as they do today) that advance and retreat. These glaciers have left stacked records of glacial and interglacial periods recorded via glacial deposits called moraines, tills, outwash, etc., and in some places, their relative timing can be correlated to similar glacial deposits on other mountain ranges. Glacial deposits can be dated by various means, as well, which in turn are correlated to other depositional events such as varves. Here's an interesting fact sheet from the USGS regarding varves and climate studies: Evidence of climate change over the last 10,000 years from the sediments of lakes in the Upper Mississippi Basin This message has been edited by roxrkool, 10-20-2005 09:03 PM

Re: Lots of sources ....

Yes. There really is overwhelming evidence, imho, of an old earth from a number of sources that are really more accessible to the average person than the data which shows that the earth revolves around the sun. I agree.

I'm sure you mean diamonds with Carbon-14 in them, so do you have an article on this? I couldn't find any papers on GeoRef about such a thing.

Re: C14 in diamonds
I know I've seen it mentioned before, but has it only been found and studied by creationist organizations? I can't find any mainstream papers about this. I've tried several different search terms, but perhaps I haven't hit the right one yet.

Re: C14 in diamonds
Like you, I've only found creationist sites that cite this evidence, but I haven't actually found the exact paper, either, that presents the results of such a study. Knowing what I know about creationist 'research,' I wouldn't be surprised if the C-14 was the result of contamination. I couldn't find any secular papers discussing C-14 in diamonds, do you have links or refs to any?

Re: C14 in diamonds
Do you have a link discussing diamonds-radioactivity?
