Does Carbon Dating Prove Millions of Years?

Does Carbon Dating prove millions of years? And why is carbon dating problematic for the idea of millions of years? Joel Tay and Scott Gillis discuss how all fossil and rock dating methods hinge on flawed scientific interpretations of data that point to a young age (thousands of years, not millions of geological finds.

Carbon 14 has a half life of 5568 years. This means it can only be accurate from 300 to about 50, 000 years ago

4:30 *This is why (Carbon14 Dating) is only used on things less than 200K years old. There's dozens of other types of Radiometric Dating for things millions of years old.*

All very well explained. As a geologist I find it difficult to accept that ALL the sedimentary layers were laid down in a single catastrophic event! The sedimentary record is huge and varied and very very complex as I see it. How about the sediments laid down BEFORE the flood? How do creationists account for them?? Be grateful for answers

HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 35K lets go algo get this one on the up

Thanks a million for this post. It's sad to know that many who practice the religion of evolution know this yet still willingly ignore the evidence before their eyes.

I dated Carbon once, but she rubbed off on me. 😂

Seriously though, there are sooo many ways that Carbon isotope dating can be skewed. It's really a method of last resort.

Mainstream science will never come around to seeing the point that perhaps the world and things within it are not as old as they think.

[BobThebuilder-oe]

That’s a heck of a claim that all fossils dug up and tested had the same amount of carbon 14… if there’s documentation of that I would love to see it

The truth coming to light. Once Yahweh bring his judgement people will be scared straight. May he forgive us.

Post is 3 years ago, not even 1k views, pretty, sad. The topic, is very, important.

Evolutionists move dates around all of the time. Upright humans have been dated further back then they were 10 years ago and they moved the evolution of grass date to accommodate for the fact that they found out that some dinosaurs ate it lol. They do these date changes quietly so you won’t notice until you start digging. Most people don’t pay attention to details. They hear the big news about something and basically take the headline as the full story.

Carbon dating is not supposed to be used much past a few thousand years. The half life does not support it. It can date things like the Shroud of Turin and relatively recent things like that but not millions of years.

[James-mchc]

The truth of carbon dating should be exposed.

The other interesting thing that many scientists throw out is how earthquakes and other natural occurrences can produce massive amounts of pressure and heat which can fossilize anything very rapidly. This can make it appear older than it is.

How can we even claim to know the half-life of C14 if nobody has been studying it for thousands of years to rule out all the assumptions?

thank you so much for that amazing video and brilliant

I still don’t understand why some people don’t believe that God could create everything in 6 days. It’s almost like people don’t believe God is all powerful and all knowing. For some reason people want to choose to believe that God went around planting seeds and had to wait for things to grow. Jesus created everything full grown! Anything is possible with God. And through God anything is possible. Stop changing Gods word to fit what others theorize about.

[FrancesMarionz]

Joel Thank You for your intelligent and thoughtful comments. I find it incredible that scientists and geologists are willing to ignore this information to bolster up a ridiculous theory.

If the methodology of radiometric dating is wrong, then the atom bombs dropped on Japan would not have worked.
