My problem with Carbon dating is the slow down in the half life. After5,280 years (+/-) the rate of decline seems to slow down to half speed and this rate seems to be conveniently consistant, with each successive 5,280 year period.
sorry i just do not buy into it and i know this theory of decline cannot be verified through experience. I am betting a revisionneeds to be made in the half life calculations to get this dating system more accurate. My idea is to limit the decline to 2 half lifes, which would make more sense and bring the dating down to a realistic number and be more consistant with the Biblical data.
