Still, if you use the carbon 14 dating calculator at this site: http://www.anycalculator.com/carbon14calculator.htm you can find out how much is left after 1…"

C-14 Decay

This is not done... but I would love any input. According to Dr. Andrew Snelling at AiG, “radiocarbon atoms are produced—in total about 16.5 pounds (7.5 kg) per year.”…Continue

Let's say that I'm Superman and I'm flying along at 186,000 miles per second. Help me understand the theory of relativity here. If I look at my watch as I'm whipping along, will the seconds be…Continue

Hi everybody! I have been here several times in the past, but only to "ask the experts," not to have conversations with other members. I have a few questions just so I can know how to use this…Continue

Steve Paul Johnson replied to Steve Paul Johnson's discussion 'C-14 Decay'"Here is Dr. Snelling's reply. He writes about me and not to me because I sent my question first to Troy Lacey who then sent it to Dr. Snelling. Not the response I was hoping for, but it's a great blessing even to be corrected by somebody I…"
Brian Guiley replied to Steve Paul Johnson's discussion 'C-14 Decay'"Cool. Would be good to hear from them on it. "
Steve Paul Johnson replied to Steve Paul Johnson's discussion 'C-14 Decay'"Brian,
Thanks for the website. I'm still trying to get a direct answer from either Dr. Morris or Dr. Snelling this. I'll post there answer here when I get it."
Steve Paul Johnson replied to Steve Paul Johnson's discussion 'C-14 Decay'"Brian,
That would definitely change how fast equilibrium is reached. Thank you for that comment. I will check into that. If you can remember where you read that 21 pounds per year are formed, I would like very much to know.…"
Richard K replied to Steve Paul Johnson's discussion 'C-14 Decay'"Good article , but the part about the body getting rid of c-14 as quickly as it comes in doesn't make sense to me...
If it is increasing in our atmosphere and we are able to accumulate "X" amount then after that, we get rid of it as…"
Brian Guiley replied to Steve Paul Johnson's discussion 'C-14 Decay'"I think the 16.5 number is the actual increase per year (accounting for decay). I've read somewhere the amount produced each year is about 21 tonnes."
Steve Paul Johnson replied to Steve Paul Johnson's discussion 'C-14 Decay'"Richard,
According to Dr. John Morris at ICR, there are currently 62 tons of C-14 in the atmosphere right now. That's the amount we should have after just three half-lives if I have done the math correctly above.
Dr. Morris also says that the…"
Richard K replied to Steve Paul Johnson's discussion 'C-14 Decay'"So, do we know how much C-14 is in the atmosphere? Have we always produced 16.5 lbs? What is the circumstance under which C-14 is formed and has that circumstance changed at all?"

This is not done... but I would love any input. According to Dr. Andrew Snelling at AiG, “radiocarbon atoms are produced—in total about 16.5 pounds (7.5 kg) per year.”[1] The half-life of C-14 is roughly 5,730 years. Most people when they think of C-14 think of it as a dating method. When used as a dating method, the half-life of C-14 is very simple to understand: half of the total radioactive carbon in a given sample decays every 5,730 years. But when dealing with…See More
Steve Paul Johnson replied to Steve Paul Johnson's discussion 'A Matter of Time'""I'm assuming you meant light years rather than miles. I'm not here to laugh at you or belittle you or even debate you. I'm just curious as to how you came by that figure. Would you care to elaborate?"
Stefan, Sorry, I…"
