Living snails that carbon-date to 2,300 years old, a living seal that was carbon-dated at 1,300 years old, and 8,000-year-old living penguins.
Tell me this scientists... how do you know the half-life of carbon has remained a constant variable throughout time?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6733501 "Tell me this scientists... how do you know the half-life of carbon has remained a constant variable throughout time?" They know that it hasn't C14 is destablized by arsenic, current calculations acount only for the current amount of arsenic in the atmosphere and the earth (there are trace amounts of both)... However, evolutionists admit that for evolution to be possible at one time the earth's atmosphere had to be way more dense and composed differently than it is. So considering a fossil has not been exposed to any more arsenic than it would be from normal, current atmospheric levels carbon dating is a somewhat decent approximation. However, you're assuming alot and it is admitted that at some point in the history of the earth the atmosphere had to be completely different, so it can be somewhat accurate up to that point, but if a fossil is from before that point carbon dating will tell you absolutely nothing.
