But Bristlecone Pines.....
are not prone to double rings. In rare cases doubles have been seen but they are very faint and easy to identify.
In fact bristlecone pines are prone to missing up to 5% of their rings in an individual specimen. Thus any age is actually a lower limit - they are if anything older than their rings indicate.
But this misses the point anyway. The chronologies are the result of many core samples from many trees that are cross referenced to build the chronolgy.
Currently, including dead trees, with cross referencing the chronology now goes back some 9000 years. Thats approx. 7000 BCE. Kind of kills the Noah's flood.

Avoiding 'whatever'
I posted late last night the post on tree ring chronology going back some 9000 years. On returning this lunchtime I have read the intervening posts. I am even more convinced of something I read on other threads in the last 3 weeks or so.
'Whatever' is dicking with you guys. I am now completely convinced he not only isn't interested in learning anything here I don't think he is a Creationist.
I can't be 100% sure on this but I think he is just playing games. He switches from a literal 6000 years ago creationist to a approx. 12000 year creationist to suit his needs. I have seen him use the 'yom' = 1000 years and 'yom' = 1 day at various times in various threads.
Now he is either so dumb it is of unbelievable (almost) proportions or he is dicking you guys around.
I really think it is the latter.

Whatever--
Point 1) Dating methods work - period!
Point 2) I have alluded earlier to your playing games
Point 3) Just in case you are genuine - You really are as thick as pigsh|t aren't you. Anything even of a semi-technical nature just soars over your head.
I still see you claiming the Sun started 12,000 years ago etc etc. Your problem is you cannot understand even the basics of high school physics so it is all a foreign subject to you. Just carry on leading a simple life ( and my god it must be simple) and quit trolling.

I went through all this Sun nonsense he is quoting
on another thread. He just doesn't understand. I seem to remember trying to explain to him where his info came from, why it was wrong (outdated) but he either understood and was trolling OR he just cannot understand.
