Well, actually, all my sources are secondary. Unfortunatly, I do not have the time to do the thorough research, because I'm not a scientist. However, I would like to see evolusionist scientists and creationist scientists go head to head on these matters, instead of just accussing each other of misinterpretation on these matters.
But I would love to know if this IS misinterpretation. As I said in the beginning. Evolusionist should admit error if something is disproved by creationists, BUT ALSO, creationists should not use evidence that has all ready been disproved.
I'll be doing some more reading. I'll be comming back later for more questions.
PS. I am aware of Carbon datings limits. But wouldn't It then show an infinite reading, instead of 36000 years?

JM: Now that your blitzkrieg into the forum is over, maybe we can talk about the reliability of your secondary sources. Number 1, regarding the claims about C-14 dating. I have investigated two studies by Andrew Snelling (
Frequently Asked ) and found some serious flaws with his analysis. I won't bother to repeat them here because they are discussed in detail on the site. Secondly, depending on the lab and equipment, a C-14 date of 36000 years might be the limit. Your assertion that the age should give infinity is specifically incorrect though grossly accurate. Why? Depending on the equipment and technique used, an 'infinite age' for C-14 dating IS 36000-55000 years (essentially the limit for the technique). As for your assertions regarding a 1968 paper from JGR, you might want to note that some samples contain excess argon. Sometimes dating doesn't work. Heck, sometimes my watch does not run properly, but I do not conclude that because I have a bad watch, all watches must be wrong. You might want to consider how one derives consistent radiometric ages (
One of the main objections to radiometric dating ). Finally, your attempt to marry communism to evolution is laughable. Bilogical evolutionary theory says nothing about the views expressed by idealogues. As you or someone else has noted, true Communism has a goal of 'Utopia' where no one is oppressed and all work for the common good.
