Re: Use evidence I can agree with
It's all conclusions with no actual data. I might be impressed if you could link to a site that shows photos of all the tree cross sections and which rings match to which in an 8000 year sequence. It should also show any statistical methods used to justify a match. Until you can show the data, we don't have to believe a word you say. I would probably actually be interested in the actual data. But I have NO interest in prepackaged slanted conclusions.
On ice cores, we want to see ALL the raw data online, with all the assumptions, and all the mathematics that went into it. Then we will draw our own conclusions.
But you're willing to believe in the mythical flood, which has no such data.
You're peddlin' religion, not science.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Did you happen to notice all those little citation and link thingies in the OP? Where RAZD links back to articles and actual studies where you can see the evidence supporting his position for yourself?
Now that you've been directed to all the actual data as you requested, I'm sure you'll actually go read it and come back here with real arguments that address the points in the OP. All you've tried to do here is hand-wave them away and pretend they aren't good enough for you. Either refute the arguments presented with evidence at least as good or expect to be laughed at; although I suspect you're used to that by now.

Plenty of data online
Raw tree ring data, and links to analysis programs, is online at The International Tree-Ring Data Bank. No problem finding out about the statistical methods there!
Raw ice core data is available at The Ice Core Gateway, with references with which you can easily track down the analysis methods.
Ever so much more accurate than pictures!
Great graphs of data relevant to 14C dating and tons of references at CalPal - University of Cologne Radiocarbon Calibration Program Package: CALIBRATION DATA SETS (part of CalPal Manual and Help).
Cue next feeble excuse…
Oh, and:
I know this, because where I have been able to check into details in the journals (if you dig deep enough) the influence of the assumptions and philosophy are revealed.
Thanks for the laugh. We are experienced anough to see that you've never dug into any details in any journals; all you know your read on fourth-hand creationist websites.
If the investigator "believes" a sample falls in a certain age range, and it doesn't, then some exucse -- contamination, etc., geological activity, or other ad hoc assumption is made to dismiss the date.
Of course you don't have any examples.
The USGS has a dating lab at Menlo Park, California, that's been running for 40 years or more. It's had a state-of-the-art SHRIMP-II for years. Since that's a government agency, you can ask them for all their equipment records, or even demand them with a FOIA submission. Then you can cross- correlate the records of tests with publications and see what tests were run and not published. (If the evil USGS is redcacting the data, you'd see the suspiciously large equiment idle time). No need to thank me here, just acknowlege me in a footnote when you publish.

Re: Plenty of data online
You did not provide any links that go straight to data or photos, just general sites. That's not good enough. The burden of finding where the data is is not on me. I am not going to research where it is, and if it requires a FOIA then it is practically inaccessable. I want to know where the full research report for the 8000 year tree ring chronology is and the full research report for the 800,000 antarctic core. I want all the chemical analaysis, all the O-18, all the wiggle matches. A straight link to all the research notes, a brief on the philosophical positions of each researcher.
Then we have to look at modeling assumptions, paleo climate assumptions.
And even then, bad science may be involved. We must reasonable rule out a hoax.
But, I'll consider it good faith if you can just give me the direct link to the 8000 tree ring chronology. I don't think you CAN provide a link to anything as simple as all the sample codes and list of tree ring widths with 14C dates and lab reports for each piece. Either the whole thing will do, or the part that goes from 4000 b.p. back to 8000 b.p.
Meanwhile, all my data for the correlations in biblical chronology is online at the link below. It is freely accessable. All the arguments, over 100 pages of charts. It is a self verifying bible code, and it PROVES that there is a fatal flaw somewhere in all of your arguments. But as long as you pussy foot around and fail to deliver the data your theory is as good as non-fasifiable.

Re: Plenty of data online
JonF provided you with the info as to how to access the data. It is your choice to be too afraid to look at it.
Learning and knowledge take work. If you want to be spoon fed then go to a creationist website.

The data is there, what is absent is your desire to learn anything outside of your little box as that may require some minimal effort on your part.
As you clearly stated as a true and unquestioning Right Wing Authoritarian, "use evidence I can agree with."
Well guess what little godlet, the rest of the universe does not revolve around your lazy, and apparently permanent, ignorance.
Remember, we can and do read your sources, but it seems you will always find some lame excuse to never read ours.

Either the whole thing will do, or the part that goes from 4000 b.p. back to 8000 b.p.
A number of scientific papers relating to radiocarbon calibration (matching radiocarbon ot tree rings, varves, speleothems, etc) are here:
http://radiocarbon.library.arizona.edu/Volume46/Number3/
The paper starting at page 1029 provides a good overview. The one starting at p. 1093 details the statistical methods that are used. The one starting at p. 1111 gives some details of tree rings back to ~12,000 years.
But I'm sure this will not satisfy you. You don't seem to understand how science is done. Scientists rarely (if ever) publish the "raw data" that you are demanding to see. It is ridiculous to ask for "all the research notes" or "a brief on the philosophical positions of each researcher."
Publishing all of the raw data would be unworkable; a three page paper would expand to 300 pages and no one could sort through it. If another researcher is suspicious of some part of the analysis he may contact the authors directly and ask specific questions (not "show me all of your raw data", but specific questions about the procedures used). More commonly, a suspicious scientist will repeat everything himself; he will gather his own data and do his own measurements and analysis.

Re: Plenty of data online
Daniel,
Well, I've seen a lot of claims here and a lot of "logical" deductions from those claims, but I see no compelling reason to think any of them are actually true since logic is only good when you reason from facts and not assumptions.
And...
You did not provide any links that go straight to data or photos, just general sites. That's not good enough. The burden of finding where the data is is not on me. I am not going to research where it is
So let's get this straight, you came to a young earth conclusion without meeting your own standard of evidence? That is, your standard is reading research papers & you failed to do so in coming to your conclusion.
It is a self verifying bible code, and it PROVES that there is a fatal flaw somewhere in all of your arguments.
And yet....
since logic is only good when you reason from facts and not assumptions
Your assumption is that these people actually exist, where is your evidence? Please direct me to the original research papers that provide independent evidence that would allow me to conclude these individuals exist. You then have to show they lived as long as they did, & actually that x begat y. & of course, it all comes to naught if you can't show that Adam was the first human. Then you have to show that even if he was the first human, that there wasn't huge amounts of geological time that predated him.
Hold yourself to the same standards you hold others to, anything else is hypocrisy.

Re: Plenty of data online

Sorry, sonny, I provided links that go straight to the sites containing the raw data. I'm not going to extract the hundreds of links to the data dfor you. Hint: at the tree ring site, click "List of tree ring data by title and investigator".
To understand and/or anallyze the data, you are going to have to invest some of your own effort. You think there's a problem with the analyses, you do the work rewuired to demonstrate the problems.
I want to know where the full research report for the 8000 year tree ring chronology is and the full research report for the 800,000 antarctic core.
At the links I provided.
I want all the chemical analaysis, all the O-18, all the wiggle matches
At the links I provided.
But, I'll consider it good faith if you can just give me the direct link to the 8000 tree ring chronology. I don't think you CAN provide a link to anything as simple as all the sample codes and list of tree ring widths with 14C dates and lab reports for each piece. Either the whole thing will do, or the part that goes from 4000 b.p. back to 8000 b.p.
At the links I provided.For example,. here's a link to a typiucal raw data file from the rtree ring page:
ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/...urements/southamerica/arge056.rwl
And the correlation stats:
ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/...nts/correlation-stats/arge056.txt
There's lots of thos files, from different invesstigators covering different samples. All linked to from the pages I provided.
All the arguments, over 100 pages of charts. It is a self verifying bible code, and it PROVES that there is a fatal flaw somewhere in all of your arguments
I see that the author is a Wlat-Brown-continents-swooping-like-drunken-ballerinas loon. And he claims that all sedimehntary layers were formed during the Fludde, refrencing Berthault. That's all we need to conclude that it's BS.

Topic
I'm beginning to spot a pattern. Biblical chronology is not the topic here. It is rarely the topic, no matter how hard you try and shoehorn it in. Please, everybody, cease discussing Biblical chronology in this thread. ONLY posts concerning the topic from here on in.
Daniel, if after I post this I see you trying to squeeze a reference to your website and your Biblical chronologies into an inappropriate thread, I will assume you are a sophisticated spammer and suspend you indefinitely. This is your only warning.

It is obvious too big a task for you to fully analyze all the data as it is for me. You don't have the time, inclination or skills to do it.
However, it is obvious that if the problem exists as you think the scientists of ICR and AIG and such would be happy to take the data and check it as you suggest. In fact, they have had decades to do so.
But, to my knowledge, they haven't published the results of such an examination. I've seen the arm waving silliness they do publish. Please point me to the real examination they have done.
