Carbon dating (Also called Carbon-14 dating) is an often discussed method of dating. Scientists look at the amount of carbon-14, a type of element, in the remains of a dead organism and compare it to that of one living today. Evolutionists use this to support their theory that the earth is billions of years old. The truth is that it can’t be used for dating things past a few thousand years old. It has also been shown to be far from perfect in dating organic material. In conclusion, the Radiocarbon Dating method is flawed, and a simple excuse for people to use evolution.

Another problem with Radiocarbon Dating is that without a living host, we have no idea how much carbon is in a fossil!

Allow me to explain. Let's say that Humans have X amount of carbon atoms in them during their life. Then, at death, the carbons begin to lessen. If scientists had a living human when they measured the carbons in a human skeleton, supposedly they would know how long the skeleton had been dead, by basing the remaining carbons in the fossil or skeleton to the known half-life of the living sample.

This has several major flaws in it. For one, scientists assume that carbon are found in beings AT THE SAME RATE. Realistically, we don't know if carbons are more prevalent in one person than another, due to things like external radiation or diet. Without this information, carbon dating cannot be accurate.

Second, Radiocarbon Dating has been used to date things like Dinosaurs and Mammoths, animals that are extinct. See the problem? Without the living host, WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY CARBONS WERE IN THE ANIMAL ORIGINALLY! If we had a live Tyrannosaurus that had X carbon atoms in it, we could then begin tracing the half-life of the carbon we find in fossils beneath the ground. But we don't have a live Tyrannosaurus, so carbon doesn't--as of yet--help us with dating fossils of animals that have gone extinct.

Radiocarbon Dating is just another flawed dating system, used in an attempt to disprove God.
