The rest is typical creationist nonsense totally unsupported by evidence. Reading creationist's articles on C14 dating is both painful and laughable at the same time. They lengths to which they have to go to reinforce their beliefs in the face of contradictory evidence never ceases to amaze me. Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein In the name of diversity, college student demands to be kept in ignorance of the culture that made diversity a value--StultisTheFool It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers If I am entitled to something, someone else is obliged to pay--Jerry Pournelle If a religion's teachings are true, then it should have nothing to fear from science...--dwise1 "Multiculturalism" demands that the US be tolerant of everything except its own past, culture, traditions, and identity.

His refutation of recent radiocarbon dates for coal is also fairly decent, I'd say. Aardsma is about the closest thing that the YECs have to a radiocarbon expert. He got his PhD under Ted Litherland at U Toronto's IsoTrace lab. While his own thesis work was not on C-14 (I think it was on Al-26?), he was at a world-class AMS lab and gained a good understanding of C-14. Unfortunately, he and ICR parted ways, and he was not even consulted for their RATE project. He might have been able to temper their nonsensical claims had he been involved. "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." – Albert Einstein “I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is very deficient. It gives us a lot of factual information, puts all of our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and eternity. Science sometimes pretends to answer questions in these domains, but the answers are very often so silly that we are not inclined to take them seriously.” – Erwin Schroedinger
