no, i dont like carbon dating because it is based on the assumption that the levels of C14 were the same in the the prehsitoric earth, as it is today
Peg, I cannot believe your audacity in accusing others of arrogance. Here you are again making a definite statement as if you are some authority on the subject, that is so utterly false it shows you know nothing. THIS is arrogance.
Once again, I suggest you learn something about a subject before setting yourself up as knowledgable. Or at very least, write 'I have read that carbon dating is based upon the assumption...' That way it is clear to us that it is the writer of what you read who is the liar/idiot, and not you...
Now, go cure your ignorance and read about carbon dating
here, and focus especially on the sub-section marked calibration.
