Radioactive Dating Explained
Posted by admin
How is this possible about carbon dating?
Scientists claim that diamonds formed millions of years ago due to long periods of time and extreme pressure. The half-life of Carbon-14 is about 5730 years. How would it be possible, then, to find any trace of C-14 in deep earth diamonds? Scientists, using accelerator mass spectrometry, of course, have found significant amounts of C-14 in diamonds. Given the extreme hardness of diamonds, intrusion of this isotope after the formation of the diamond is not possible. So, please explain this. Are scientists wrong about the amount of time required to form diamonds, or are they wrong about the rate of decay of this radioactive isotope?
There are other radio-isotope decay series that are used to date further back than C-14. The C-14 decay rate was re-calibrated some time in the 1980’s, which is one reason why many non-scientists claim that scientists are always wrong and don’t know what they are talking about. Since the re-calibration of the carbon decay rate was done by the same person who was the first person to radio-carbon date anything, I think that shows who doesn’t know anything about what they are talking about.
” Dating methods discussed were potassium-argon dating, argon-argon dating, rubidium-strontium dating, samarium-neodymium dating, lutetium-hafnium, rhenium-osmium dating, and uranium-lead dating.”
There’s also a radioactive decay lead series (Pb)
