→T-Rex soft tissue?: We don't need dating methods with Middle Man to tell us!
[[User:Middle Man|Middle Man]]
[[User:Middle Man|Middle Man]]
:Why don't we just do away with radiometric dating, potassium argon dating, and all the rest? Instead, we just ask you how old something is, because you can obviously tell the age of something without those tests being performed! Do you get the point yet? You are saying that my opinion of what the result of such a test would be is wrong because you already "know" how old it is!
:Is a cyclotron used for dating? Regardless, measuring instruments don't give dates. They give quantities of elements and isotopes, from which scientists use calculations and biased assumptions to produce a date. So it's not a matter of whether a cyclotron or other instrument is biased, but the researcher calculating the date.
:I never said that carbon dating a a dinosaur would be accurate. I'm saying that I expect that carbon dating a dinosaur would give a result that is inconsistent with the evolutionary age. It would also probably be inconsistent with the creationary age too, but creationists don't accept those dates, whereas evolutionists supposedly do. That's the point.
:And no, I would not "just respond by saying these techniques are flawed". I would also mention ''why'' they are flawed.

I find it odd that one of the tenants on which CP was founded was the unreliability of wikipedia, yet a reference to an article there is used. Surely in the YECs attempt to prove evolution wrong you can do better (and by better I mean not AiG). [[User:Jrssr5|Jrssr5]] 14:52, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
