Mark Andrew Hodges commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"Well, Piltdown was on the books for closer to 30 years, but it is a good case to show how we are led by our preconceptions. You're committed to radio-active dating being a meaningful way to measure geological time, and I am not, though I dont…"

York. Do you use it to go to New York or dismiss it on the grounds it isn’t completely accurate all of the time?
When picking an answer, you must remember that understanding the context of use is important. Like the radiometric dating,…"
Adam J. Benton commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"Variables have been known about pretty much since the inception of modern science. Even the earliest calculations of the age of the earth based off cooling rates came with error bars to account for variables, as did results from chemical dating…"
Mark Andrew Hodges commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"Adam, your "law" of fixed variables wouldnt have been "discovered" if the young rocks of known ages had been dated accurately to start with. And the idea it doesnt apply to older rocks can't be proven. What we do know for a…"
Adam J. Benton commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"Now, I don't know about you but when I form statements about reality I like them to be as accurate as possible. Part of this involves noting limits and flaws in our knowledge, but also where those flaws don't apply. For example,…"
Mark Andrew Hodges commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"No olsen isnt saying that he thinks it is a hopelessly flawed field, but obviously not absolute in any sense, like it is presented in student textbooks. You haven't persuaded me, even if we were in a secular world, because my arguemnt…"
Adam J. Benton commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"I don't deny that Olsen was talking about various methods of dating, my point was that he was trying to argue that if there are multiple lines of equally valid evidence that disagree with each other, one shouldn't just cherry pick those…"
Mark Andrew Hodges commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"Olsen is not just talking about fish, since he is talking about 3 "independent" lines of data...the fish-zone which i take to be the paleontological, he is also talking about the geochemical and geophysical...;

Adam J. Benton commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"Radiometric dating is an imperfect process. Not every sample is appropriate for dating and being able to determine what is can be quite difficult. Even when a suitable sample is dated you get error bars and the fundamental uncertainty that we never…"
Mark Andrew Hodges commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"I'll look at olsen's quote again, but I think I could easily find 10-50 more being more straight forward in their basic frustration with radio metric dating and its misuse, I think you make some valid points but as I have noted, there is…"
Adam J. Benton commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"I originally brought up calibration curves to show that there are known issues with radiometric dating, issues scientists try and work around but ultimately can't counter entirely - hence the error bars. Every system has such issues and error…"

I found your tree ring explanation fascinating, and though couldn't follow it completely. I do know from practical experience that fatness and thickness in a given ring can have a lot to do with immediate environment and so could be…"
Adam J. Benton commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"Sure you have to make assumptions - namely that the patterns you're lining up to lengthen your chronology are made at the same time. Say you had two samples of tree rings, (1) thin-thin-thick-thick and (2) thick-thick-thin-thick, and lined them…"

Jesus Christ, John 8:32Two opposite points of view. One will free humanity though the knowledge of God, the other through the acceptance of propaganda.

Mark Andrew Hodges commented on Mark Andrew Hodges's blog post 'According to "Absolute" Radio-active Dating I am Over 100 Million Years Old; where are my Social Security checks?'"Since the oldest living tree that ive heard of is less than 5000 years old, to get an older date you have to pick up dead wood and make assumptions. Your error bar figures are interesting, but how do you know which rock is 100mya ? You dont. And if…"

If Scripture Predicted the Entire Future History of Israel in Advance, How Could it Fail to Record Past History Accurately?
Which is easier, to predict the future or record the past? Most of us would say its easier to write history. Anyone can gather a few books, old newpapers or research on the internet and then write a fairly accurate history of the Viet Nam War or Desert Storm, or the Stock Market Crash and Depression…
