Last month we promised to explain all about radioactive dating. We are only able to keep part of that promise this month. This is a very technical subject, and we are going to try to explain it in terms that the average person can understand.

If you don’t know any calculus, you can be thankful that I am not going to explain it to you. Just take my word for it. ... So, in our opinion, the main problem with radioactive dating is knowing the initial concentrations of the radioactive elements.

Carbon dating is a type of radiometric dating. It works like this. Atmospheric carbon in CO2 has a fixed ratio of C14 to C12. High in the atmosphere Radiation from space transforms some of the C12 to C14. When the carbon is fixed by a plant...

Radiocarbon, or Carbon-14, dating is probably one of the most widely used and best known absolute dating methods. It was developed by J. R. Arnold and W. F. Libby in 1949, and has become an indispensable part of the archaeologist's tool kit since.

Discusses the uses of limitations of different radiometric dating techniques. ... Dating rocks by these radioactive timekeepers is simple in theory, but the laboratory procedures are complex. The numbers of parent and daughter isotopes in each specimen are determined by various kinds of analytical methods.

Contrary to creationist claims, it is possible to make that determination, as the following will explain: ... Creationists also attack radioactive dating with the argument that half-lives were different in the past than they are at present. There is no more reason to believe that than to believe that at some time in the...

Geologist John Woodmorappe, in his devastating critique of radioactive dating,[8] points out that there are other large-scale trends in the rocks that have nothing to do with radioactive decay. ... Numerous models, or stories, have been developed to explain such data.[38] However, such exercises in story-telling can hardly...
