                Isotope Dating and the Flood, Part 3

In the last two months in our year - long study of geology and the Flood, we have concentrated on radioisotope dating.

 

We have seen that the presence of fast decaying radioactive carbon C-14 in all parts of the fossil bearing rock layers of the geologic column has been thoroughly documented in the scientific literature. Some presume this is a result of contamination but no one can present a viable old age source or contamination mechanism. Since C-14 decays completely away in less than a hundred thousand years one must conclude that all of these fossil bearing rock layers are less than a hundred thousand years old. 

C-14 is through all rock layers including the Tapeats Sandstone and above !

This presence of substantial C-14 is in direct conflict with the evolutionary concept of the development of the diversity of life over the last half billion years. However this presence of C-14 is entirely consistent with our hypothesis that all of these rock layer and their fossil content were ripped up from a previously existing biome and redeposited in much less than a hundred thousand years ago.

 

Last month  Dr. Andrew Snelling's lec

ture examined the slow decaying isotopes like uranium with half-lives on the order of a billion years. These isotopes are the ones conventional evolutionary scientists used to "prove" that rock layers with fossils go back 540 million years and the age of the Earth is about 4.5 billion years. However, this evolutionary "proof" works only if the conventional evolutionary

theorists ignore the presence of C-14 in all of these fossil bearing rock layers.

 

Of course the presence of slow decaying isotopes like uranium and many others is easily explained in the young creation hypothesis as coming from the rock layers that were ripped up and redeposited during the Flood. So that is consistent with the young creation hypothesis as well as the C-14 content.

 

On the other hand, the presence of these slow decaying isotopes raise some interesting questions. Studying these questions to discover what mechanisms could provide some systematically consistent answers might actually suggest some additional details about the six days of creation, the preflood period, or the Flood itself.

In Dr. Snelling's lecture we presented on 10/4 we saw that different isotopes in the same rock commonly produce very different ages. Also, isotopes in different minerals in the same rock often produce different ages. We also saw that there are at least  three error sources that fool even the most sophisticated isochrone dating methods.

 

Some additional topic from other resources include radiohaloes, some containing all of the decay chain of uranium and other containing only the very fast decaying isotopes

of polonium. Additional topics are zircons, diffusion clocks, and fission tracks. When we look at these topics we will begin to see some interesting and revealing patterns.

 

Join the GHCA for the November 1st meeting and the adventure of exploring the mystery of how these isotope dating puzzle pieces fit together. We will not be able to answer every question yet! But, you will be amazed how well this data confirms our hypothesis of a young supernatural creation as described in the Creation and Flood narratives of Genesis.
