London hammer-400 million year old artifact

More evidence of flawed dating system used to teach evolution.

[danielhooper]

so it turns out it wasn't millions of years old and there is no evidence for creation. go figure

[tenaciousbt]

There's another explanation. Time travel. This could have been made in the future and transported to the distant past. This would explain the superior manufacturing technique and the altered atmospheric conditions around the hammer when it was forged. Its just a plausible as what the arch of the covenant was supposed capable of doing.

You're talking about the 19th century miner's hammer? How could a modern artifact be stuck in Ordovician rock? The answer is that the concretion itself is not Ordovician. Minerals in solution can harden around an intrusive object dropped in a crack or simply left on the ground if the source rock (in this case, reportedly Ordovician) is chemically soluble.

It's such a remarkable mystery that I would prefer not to see it handled, that way.

If this hammer was made before Noah's flood when humans lived over 900 years old in tropical conditions from pole to pole with a different atmospheric pressure, then the composition of the iron with chlorine could be possible but not in today's world.

[adrianparkes]

He wont carbon date the wood. hmmm i wonder why?

Creation Evidence Museum. According to the Creationist Theory the earth is, at most, 10, 000 years old. You have a artifact that is laid next to a plaque that reads "Man-made iron hammer with handle in early Cretaceous Rock." The Cretaceous Period was 65.5 million years ago. Does any thought go into the inclusion of the "Evidence" in your museum? For instance a hammer that, in your own description, disproves your Creationist theory and therefore makes your museum moot.

Did he just say Pre-Flood? Yup you lost me right there.

[whocares]

It would be great if he would let actual test be done. Makes me believe he already knows its not that old but he wants to use it to push his agenda

[billystrickland]

its fake, its one thing to say the hammer head survived hundreds of millions of years, but i doubt the wooden handle would be able to survive time

[volo]

what a waste of such an interesting piece of history. People with imaginary friends should stay away from big boy matters.

[timh.]

It doesn't devastate evolutionary theory at all! Just means Evolution started much much sooner than what Darwin calculated.

[mikemk]

Okay. The man just admitted as have geologists that this hammer is in a concretion. The deposits were concreted from a much older rock dissolving through some sort of chemical process . This hammer was simply there while the deposits formed around it probably a few centuries ago at the most. The hammer isn't old and neither is the concretion. They can only determine how old the depositing rock was. I'm just a dumb engineer and I figured this out. So the creationists and ancient alien crews look a bit foolish, if you ask me.

[robertgraham]

does he not see the irony of using modern science to disprove modern science?

[garybiggs]

Evolution and Creationism are both correct. Mankind evolved on this planet via the creation skills of extraterrestrials. Yes, a GOD exist, but it is not exclusive to earth humans. It has domain over all creatures in the many universes that exist.

[letsgobrandon]

Why's noooo one talking about something that predates our civilization a 100 times over.

[agentv]

Bt how cme the wood nt degrade if its tat old?

[Silly_Mafia]

Wood become coal that's definitely old enough

[Stormchaservideo]

I'm sure this "artifact" draws a nice crowd to your museum at $5 a person; and I would hate to see someone put themselves out of a job - but you should really turn this hammer over to science and let a couple of universities study it. If there is conclusive proof that this is a "pre-flood" artifact and that proof is peer-reviewed and printed in the journal Nature, I'll be happy to stop in and pay you a Lincoln to see it. But, we all know that you won't do it because as soon as it's proven to be a hammer made in the 1800s you'll lose business.

[backlashD]

This just shows all theories are probably wrong.
