| numonex said: Some religious nuts believe the world 6,000 year old and they believe in the Creationism of the Bible just like Sarah Palin and religious cults/sects. Palin believes the world is only 6,000 years old and was created by God. The Bible is fairy tales for children. No way is Creationism or a big guy in the sky created the world and universe. Physicists and other science experts have proven that science created the world and the universe more than 4 billion years ago. Modern man has only been alive for 70,000 years originate from Africa and migrating to all the continent of the world over time. Man evolved from chimpanzees and Darwin's theory of Evolution proves that life on this planet has slowly evolved and changed over billions of years. The Dinosaurs were extinct 65 million years ago due to a meteorite wiping them out. 65 million year gap between the arrival of man and the extinction of the Dinosaurs. Carbon dating of fossils show the dinosaurs have been dead for 65 million years . 40,000 years ago the last of the giant mammals: woolly mammoths, sabre tooth tigers became extinct. Lizards, alligators and crocodiles closely resembling dinosaurs are still thriving: unchanged for millions of years. BTW: In Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, they brought the dinosaurs pack from the dead by extracting mosquito DNA and growing dinosaurs in the science laboratory. Cloning dinosaurs and bringing them back from the grave is impossible. ;))) |
Look, we are all entitled to our own opinions and beliefs, but you do realize that Science doesn't PROVE anything, right?
It is one of the foremost truths in Science that it does not provide proof or final/permanent truth.
Also, although the theory of radiocarbon dating is interesting, there are several inherent problems with the process. The first of these problems is the fact that the original ratio of carbon and radioactive carbon is unknown. The second problem is that the possibility of contamination of the sample over time is quite high. The older the sample the higher the probability of contamination, in fact! What this means is that using carbon dating to date very old samples is really quite impractical given our current level of knowledge and technological capabilities.
