What?!? Whitelaw's paper was only cited because it was used as a point of reference when exploring this issue. It had nothing to do with the CURRENT published findings, using current technology that takes these contamination 'processes' (which do not include coal being briefly exposed to CO2 BTW Wink as it is NON-issue) into account.

Whitelaw's paper has nothing to do with the current findings at all.

Care to try again?

The first thing I saw from RATE used Whitelaw's dating results.

It can't take modern C14 into account, it only reduces the effects of other sources of radiation by counting C14 directly. You know how AMS works, right? It can't differentiate between ancient and modern C14, it can only count it. Modern C14 explains the results.

Which demonstrated what point? That you didn't bother reading the rest of the paragraph?

Modern c14 explains the results? And this is your opinion... guess... excuse... all of the above? Or do you have a mechanism for contamination? A mechanism that is part of science? Something that we can actually test?

RATE's results don't particularly surprise or amaze me.

It hasn't been narrowed down yet, but yes, there are scientific explanations. Link.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?

We went through this already... Rolling Eyes tell me... which one of these excuses is going to contaminate EVERY SINGLE COAL SAMPLE IN THE WORLD?

Have you tested every single coal sample in the world?

Because along the same lines, oil tends to have anomalous C14 in it. But a lot of oil doesn't have any detectable C14. How is that possible? I believe I already asked you this question.

Nope... but every single one that has been tested produces c14 results. But... that doesn't seem to bother you one bit...

A few reasons perhaps. Diluted ... if oil is diluted... we will never be able to measure with any amount of accuracy concentrations of c14. Perhaps permeability. If you haven't realized yet, leeching could have a greater impact on a liquid than a solid. There are all sorts of reasons… but then again, I believe I have read somewhere… I’d have to look it up, where there have been c14 results produced with oil and gas.

And how many samples have been tested, exactly?

Diluted with what? The samples were not diluted after being collected.

How would that effect the C14 in coal?

Leeching of what? Is the C14 somehow going to come out? Oil is mostly carbon. If the carbon was coming out, it would come out evenly, not just the slightly radioactive bits.

Why would some oil have no detectable C14 but other oil have plenty? All oil should have roughly the same amount of C14 if it's all the same age, right?

14,268... precisely.

Do you even know how oil is formed?

Changing the subject again... I thought we were discussing oil here?

I don't FFT... why not try explaining it without leeching, or dilution. You asked a question... an apparently don't like the answers.

Yes, I know how oil is formed. What do you propose it was diluted by?

You're correct. I mixed up the words. How would permeability affect the C14 in oil?

Your answers have much in common with my original answers as to why there was C14 in tested coal. Before I actually did the research to support them. Your answers are a bunch of "maybes" and "coulds."

Your answers are incomplete. Try again.

If there are other sources for c14 near by, it is easier to contaminate oil through leeching as coal is pretty static and oil is not. Oil, is a liquid and can be moved through pressures applied to it. Coal doesn't.

Research??? What research??? Oyu made phone call for Pete's sake. You have cited zippo and are now trying to move away from what the evidence demonstrates with this oil thing... for some reason. Confused or disgusted

" In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." Eph.1:11-14

It appears as though God does what He wants, when He wants, how He wants, where He wants, to whom He wants and that we ( His cogniscant creation? ) ... are to never question why ...!

But, of course, that isn't good enough for some ( including my self, however (( in my defense )), I love and appreciate Him and His intent, what ever that is, and look forward to that promised," the redemption of the purchased possession," (( considering all of His known creation,i.e., space, time, ginetics, water, and all unknown creation )) that should be something very excellent ).

Thunder... got a question for ya...

What confronted with 'scientific evidence' (um... in case you haven't heard there is 'mountains' of it supporting evolution) how do you respond to someone who claims that science has demonstrated that they have demonstrated that there is no need to involke a 'creator' and that Christianity is just a myth.

I read your post and am a bit confused on what you are saying.

Thanks brother!
Trinity

When you start quoting numbers is a good start. My posts have been mostly inferences, I haven't made anything up.

Seriously, how many coal samples have been tested?

But there's no reason for C14 to be affected any differently than the normal C12 and C13 in the oil. Why would it be absent in some samples but present in others?

Because it's a perfect example of anomalous C14. Oil samples are tested much more frequently than coal samples as there's actually a legitimate reason to radiocarbon date oil.

I have no earthly idea. I suppose I could call virtually every AMS facility in the world and try to get some raw data... but then again, I have seen some videos of 'amatuers' going out, gathering samples, taking them back to his home and testing them with his own AMS machine.... I guess I would have to determine how many of these things have ever been made, their location, servicability, get a good look at their maintenance records, their calibration records, etc... is that what you want me to do, or is there a point to your question here?

I'm sure you have heard of the different types of oil... their associated weights... etc... Some oil is higher quality than others. It depends greatly upon its weight and density.

Ok... let me ask you this then... what would you say that a c14 has to be before it becomes questionable... or anomalous as you have inferred?
