In the reported ages given in textbooks and other journals, these evolutionary assumptions have not been questioned, while results inconsistent with long ages have been censored. Oxygen is essentially inert to neutrons but nitrogen is quite reactive. Southon, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B, 259 1 : 282-287 June 2007.
People such as Hugh Ross are essentially attempting to stretch thebiblical chronology to fit the evolutionary time scale. Therefore, the basic question which Hovind is answering is no. Well, yes, that was a fortuitous conincidence, wasn't it!
Carbon Dating - The curve is roughly 180 degrees out of phase with the C-14 curve. You have to shake everything up before the big bang to affect its chances of happening.
Radiometric Dating Debunked in 3 Minutes Okay, we just learned that since you need a starting ratio for carbon dating, and since nobody knows what the starting ratio was, probably because there weren't any scientists around 6 thousand to several billion years ago. Creationists dispute there is evidence of shared ancestry in the fossil evidence, and argue either that these are misassigned ape fossils e. The consensus of professional scientific organisations worldwide is that no scientific evidence contradicts the age of approximately 4. Radiocarbon, however, is applicable on a time scale of thousands of years. Other species of trees corroborate the work that Ferguson did with bristlecone pines.
