Dating Methods Debunked

Truth Carriers Academy | All Ages

Introduction: The Foundation of Evolution

Evolution requires millions of years. Dating methods that claim these ages rest on assumptions that cannot be verified.

What We're Told

The Reality

“For in six days Yahuah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is.” - Exodus 20:11

Radiometric dating rests on unprovable assumptions

1How Radiometric Dating Works

Three Critical Assumptions

  1. Initial conditions known
  2. Closed system (no gain/loss)
  3. Constant decay rate

Think About It

Can any of these assumptions be verified for ancient rocks?

2When Dating Methods Fail

Known-Young Rocks Misdated

Mt. St. Helens: rapidly formed strata later mis-dated

Think About It

What does misdating known-age rocks imply for unknown ages?

3Carbon-14 Problems

Maximum Age Issue

C-14 should be gone after ~50,000 years, yet it is found in:

Dinosaur bone sample with C-14 dating notation

C-14 detected in dinosaur bones challenges deep-time claims

Think About It

Why shouldn’t C-14 be in dinosaur bones if they’re 65M years old?

4Dinosaur Soft Tissue

Findings

Soft tissue recovered from dinosaur bones

Think About It

Why is soft tissue a problem for “millions of years”?

5Circular Reasoning

Rocks Date Fossils / Fossils Date Rocks

Index fossils assume evolutionary ages; rocks inherit those ages; conflicting radiometric dates are often discarded.

Think About It

Explain the circular reasoning in fossil/rock dating:

6Evidence for a Young Earth

Often Ignored Indicators

EvidenceWhat It Shows
Magnetic field decayToo rapid for billions of years
Helium in zirconsSuggests thousands of years
Comet decayShort lifespans
Soft tissue & C-14Not compatible with millions of years
“In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth.” - Genesis 1:1
