Summations Only

You are the one making all sorts of strange statements and claims without providing any evidence to back them up.For example, three whoppers----A global flood at the P-T boundary
--Humans, cattle, and grasses at the P-T boundary
--A time frame compressed about 57,000 times by some silly but unexplained changes in the decay constantsSo before you make any more strange claims, how about some real evidence for the ones you have already made?

That's a nice glib answer but it doesn't address the question.You are claiming humans, cows, and grasses at the P-T boundary 250 million years ago.Grasses didn't develop until about 190 million years later, while humans and domestic cattle are close to 250 million years later.But since you dispute the dating, this is quite clear in the layers without any necessary reference to absolute dates. The relative dates are sufficient to blow your whole imaginary scenario out of the water.You can come up with all the "what-ifs" you like, but until you have some evidence you have nothing but belief, and that, along with about $2.50, might barely get you a cup of coffee.

Not so. I have posted several times about mtDNA that has been found to be continuous over the purported flood boundary at about 4,350 to 4,500 years ago.One from my own work -- a skeleton dated to 5,300 years ago that has mtDNA identical to Native Americans currently living in the same area. No evidence of a discontinuity with replacement by mtDNA from the Middle East or thereabouts.This one bit of evidence alone disproves your global flood.(And don't start in about the P-T boundary and your "beliefs" concerning dating--that just makes you look even more foolish.)Rather than having a global flood, you're blown out of the water.

What you need is recovery of vegetation, on a mountain top no less, that will feed grazing animals from day one. You and I both know that a good grass crop is not going to grow on rocks and snow, nor is it going to grow fast enough to keep the grazers from starving. I know my horses look for two square meals a day and get very testy if they are not on time. Lots of luck feeding critters up here: Humans.

You have been studiously ducking that thread for a month or more.Just because you are dragging your feet on presenting your "evidence" on that thread doesn't mean you can assume that your viewpoint is correct--as it goes against all of established science. Until you can present evidence that established dating science is wrong, your delusions will remain as just that--delusions.That's the nature of evidence, and science.

You have equivocated, dodged and weaved, and presented endless "what-ifs," along with numerous links to articles that contradict your claims.

Which assumptions?You have been ducking the thread I started for radiocarbon dating for close to two months now.Sorry, you do not get to dismiss radiocarbon dating like that, with a simple hand-wave.Either document your silly claims over in that other thread or stop talking about radiocarbon entirely.

Untrue. Lots of things you keep saying are untrue.Not only are you trying to prove a flood, you are trying to prove a flood some 250 million years earlier than anyone else.

Its even sillier than that. The K-T boundary is about 66 million years ago.Mindspawn has been arguing that the flood occurred at the P-T boundary, some 252 million years ago!

But we do have a fine thread on carbon dating, which you have been ignoring for a couple of months now.

The earliest humans come some 250 million years after your imagined flood.Try as you might, you can't get around that one simple fact.Edited by Coyote, : No reason given.

You really should stop inflicting your delusions about carbon dating on us until you can go to the thread I started for you about two months ago and document your claims.

The dating forum I set up will not be dealing with the P-T boundary. If you read the opening post, I asked for discussion to be limited to the era of modern humans, the past 200,000 years and specifically excluded the P-T boundary etc.I would prefer to concentrate on radiocarbon dating, as that's the field I know best. That would be the last 50-60,000 years or so.

Sure you are.But you ran out of places to try and put it! You couldn't find evidence of any global floods in recent human history so you have had to go back some 250 million years in search of a place you could shoehorn your flood.Of course, this means you had to put modern humans back there also, some 250 million years before they actually developed, and that in turn meant you had to play silly games with geology and paleontology, dating and several other fields of study.All because you can't admit that the flood story has been disproved since at least the 1830s!

Right.I've been dealing with C14 dating for forty years now, and this thread is about the first time I've heard anything about Rohl and his dating schemes. That stuff is simply not important to radiocarbon dating.If anything, radiocarbon dating is being used to correct the Egyptian chronologies, certainly it is not the other way around.I hope when we finally get to the dating thread it is not cluttered with such irrelevant nonsense.
