Carbon dating

Carbon dating shows us, among many other things, that the world is many billions of years old and that the dinosaurs and many millions of other species of beast pre-dated humanity by millions and millions of years.

So, what do you think? Is carbon dating a verifiable and easily proved scientific process for dating ancient objects? Or is it a piece of scientific flim flam created by godless scientists?

didn't carbon dating as say some crave drawings were hurdred of miilions of years old, when the sheriff came and said I did that when i was a kid, about 20-30 years ago. I have a hard time believing an element on the periodic table to help date things. How do we know that we didnt screwup the periodic table. after all how many other tables of the elements came first? and if the table is right how do we know that we calculated the decay of carbon correctly? There is just to many places for science to screwup for me to believe

K027, thanks for the link. I do indeed need to do my homework.

Interesting tho: 56 views but only 5 votes.

Oh well, maybe I blew it by screwing up the science.

Embarassed

Ahem, excuse me guys,
Because the radioactive half-life of a given radioisotope is not affected by temperature, physical or chemical state, or any other influence of the environment outside the nucleus save direct particle interactions with the nucleus, then radioactive samples continue to decay at a predictable rate. If determinations or reasonable estimates of the original composition of a radioactive sample can be made, then the amounts of the radioisotopes present can provide a measurement of the time elapsed.

One such method is called carbon dating, which is limited to the dating of organic (once living) materials. The longer-lived radioisotopes in minerals provide evidence of long time scales in geological processes. While original compositions cannot be determined with certainty, various combination measurements provide self-consistent values for the the times of formations of certain geologic deposits. These clocks-in-the-rocks methods provide data for modeling the formation of the Earth and solar system.

There.
