→T-Rex soft tissue?: I believe otherwise.
It wouldn't show anything of the sort. It would bottom out at the limit of the Carbon dating test, which isn't the same thing at all. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years, so 65 million years is approximately 10000 half lives. So after 65 million years, C14 will have reduced by a factor of 2^10000, which can essentially be regarded as infinite. It's like measuring your way home from work using a tape measure: once you reach the end of the tape you can't measure any further. [[User:Aloysius|Aloysius]] 12:11, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

:I believe it would show it, because I believe that they are not that old! The tape measure is a good analogy in this case. Evolutionists won't "measure" the age because they believe that the tape measure is not long enough to measure it. Creationists, while agreeing on the length of the tape measure, believe that the tape measure ''is'' long enough, and would like it "measured". [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.
