Meteors as constants
How about the meteors that wiped out lots of dinosaurs/prehumanic life? Those could change things.
Yes, they did (and will) change the conditions on Earth. But they do not affect any physical laws or constants. You seem to badly misunderstand the argument you are defending.
The argument that you are trying to put forward (it's a shame someone has to tell you what you are actually trying to say) is that some behaviors of physics and chemistry has been different in the past. That is what creos are arguing. A meteorite has nothing to do with any such changes.
The ice age has the ability to alter the climate and to change how quickly C-14 leaves an organic form. Those two are accepted facts (I'm pretty sure) of evolutionists.
I am pretty sure this as just as false as all the other information you have been fed. Are you going to catch on soon? The sources you are using are both ignorant and deliberately deceptive.
However, it happens that it has nothing to do with the question of C-14 dating. C-14 doesn't measure carbon leaving an organic form. It measures the carbon that has transformed within the form into a different carbon. The measurement is not the amount of carbon present but rather the ratio of carbon isotopes present. The ice age can not in any way affect that.
