but whats the mechanism?

Literally tells you if you keep reading.

Just in case you are confused there multiple other methods used to date things. The earth is way older than 6000 years old. You just been slurping the koolaide all this time. You desperately want it to be true otherwise the bible is a lie. So you go out of your way to find the smallest technicalities grasping at smallest straws.

Just like flat earth cult no amount of evidence will convince you. The world is telling you 1+1=2 but your cult convinced you 1+1=3. There is no point of debating someone who outright rejects basic reality and facts for unsubstantiated claims and magic. And has no evidence for their beliefs. (Logical fallacies and personal anecdotes are not evidence)

it doesnt

you understand you can just as easily be guilty of what you accuse me of

to clarify things deep time dating is based on assumption that cant be tested\observable

Wish i owned a thread with this many pages

I can back up my claims of 1+1=2 you cannot back up your cultish pseudo-science of 1+1=3 without personal anecdotes and faulty logic. Belief requires no evidence, but facts requires proof. You speak only of unsubstantiated beliefs.

Dating anything old requires a time machine to confirm without assuming period. All the dating methods out there however can be checked vs known things (like tree rings, rocks, sediment layers, fossils, historical objects etc) and against each other to achieve fairly accurate data. Some of the methods are more accurate than others yet when we combine all of them they give us fairly accurate dates. Sure the accuracy drops off after certain number but it's not a even a question if the earth is 6000 years it's more of a question if the earth is 4.5 billion or 4.3 billion. We are way past the point. Maybe 1000 years ago you could of made an argument to an uneducated peasant but today this is laughable.
Just like 2000 years ago some people believed earth is flat in today's day and age we laugh at them and remind them with evidence to return back to reality.

So once again this is a reminder to return back to reality. Forget bible and Christian fairytales instead start thinking for yourself and use evidence/facts not beliefs and personal anecdotes.

original conditions are assumed.

you never stated the mechanism that cause the production of atmospheric c14 to vary

obviously your argument is weak if you have to keep referring to "flat earth"

you need to understand that c14 is denied by flat earthers, just like anything proving flat earth theory cannot work.

get it striaght and right : c14 is known because of science, not because flat earthers discovered it.

I'd even go as far as stating that every discovery we made through history, none of them can be attributed to flat earthers. shocking isn't it ?

anyways, what's the fuss about c14 ?

I don't see you explaining how radiocarbon dating doesn't ever work in any situation ever except on zircon-bound helium or atmospheric c14.

How old do you think the earth is?

Wtf you even talking about original conditions are assumed? The article clearly stated that there are two methods counting rings of bristlecone pines and the other is radiocarbon-date the wood then measure against the rings. We can check this against thousands of trees and get an accurate reading every time. Or is counting against your religion. Can't even have a civil conversation here when the other person struggles with reading and basic concepts like maths. Feel like I am talking to a child.

Come back when you read the article I posted in its entirety. Maybe read it 3 times just to make sure.



He doesn't, just reads any pseodo scientific literature churned out by highly biased Christian propaganda channels and thinks its the ultimate truth.
