<p>Carbon-14 dating was recently performed on dinosaur fossils, <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref1_z7a42qa title="Wieland C (2013 Jan 22) Radiocarbon in dino bones: International conference result censored http://creation.com/c14-dinos Accessed 2013 Jul 2" href=#footnote1_z7a42qa>1</a>

and the results were presented at the Western Geophysics Meeting in Singapore, August 2012, a gathering of approximately two thousand scientists. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref1_nqujiyy title="Wieland C (2013 Jan 22) Radiocarbon in dino bones: International conference result censored http://creation.com/c14-dinos Accessed 2013 Jul 2" href=#footnote1_z7a42qa>1</a>

The carbon-14 dating involved precautions against contamination. Several tests were done by the University of Georgia using accelerator mass spectrometry. The age for all these fossils was found to be less than 50,000 years. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref1_kktjn1u title="Wieland C (2013 Jan 22) Radiocarbon in dino bones: International conference result censored http://creation.com/c14-dinos Accessed 2013 Jul 2" href=#footnote1_z7a42qa>1</a>

This is not predicted by conventional evolutionary theory; and other discoveries have been made concerning dinosaurs which also are not predicted by evolutionary theory such as the discovery of soft tissue in bones that are not or are only partially fossilized. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref2_rblxeew title="Gift J (2009 Jul) Dinosaur Bones - a Whole Lot of Twistin' Goin' On http://tasc-creationscience.org/content/dinosaur-bones-whole-lot-twistin-goin Accessed 2013 Jul 2" href=#footnote2_rblxeew>2</a>

<span data-mce-mark=1 style=line-height:1.538em> Both the carbon-14 dating results and the discovery of soft tissue in incompletely fossilized dinosaur bones share the common theme of being indicators of much younger ages for dinosaurs than evolution claims. Compared to the conventional theory of dinosaurs’ being at minimum 65 million years old, the time it would take soft tissue to degrade and the < 50,000 year ages reported from carbon-14 dating are less than 1 tenth of 1 percent of the expected age for the dinosaur fossils.</span></p>

</span><span style=line-height:1.538em> </span>Why is the information presented in the paper important? If the accepted ages of millions of years for dinosaurs were to be found to be in error, this would be a problem to evolution. The dinosaur dates reported below and discussed in the AOGS 2012 paper discussed throughout this article, included triceratops, hadrosaur, allosaurus, and acrocanthasaurs. Below is a list of some dinosaur fossils and their dated ages from the Miller paper. <span style=line-height:1.538em><a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref6_elf8olr title="Miller H, Owen H, Bennett R, de Pontcharra J, Giretych M, Taylor J, van Oosterwych M, Kline O, Wilder D, Dunkel B (2012 Aug 15) A Comparison of δ13C &amp; pMC Values for Ten Cretaceous-Jurassic Dinosaur Bones from Texas to Alaska USA, China and Europe, Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) - American Geophysical Union (AGU) Joint Assembly, Resorts World Convention Center, Singapore, 15 August, 2012" href=#footnote6_elf8olr>6</a>

<ul><li>An allosaurus from the Morrison formation, late Jurassic, found in 1989 was dated by the University of Georgia by accelerator mass spectrometry. The age was found to be 31,360 ± 100 years old.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>The femur of an Upper Creataceous Hell Creek formation triceratops-like dinosaur (perhaps a new type of ceratopsid) found in 2007 was carbon-14 dated by the University of Georgia using accelerator mass spectrometry and found to be 39,230 ± 140 years old.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Another Hell Creek formation dinosaur, found in 2004, a triceratops, was dated by the University of Georgia by accelerator mass spectrometry in 2009 as 24,340 ± 70 years old.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>An apatosaurus was found in late Jurassic strata of the Morrison formation, and excavation was done in 2007 and 2009. In 2011 the University of Georgia dated the fossil to 38,250 ± 160 years old.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>A hadrosaur’s hip bone was found in 2011 in the Hell Creek formation. The University of Georgia dated a sample from this bone to be 37,660 ± 160 years old.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>In 2012 a triceratops horn was found. The University of Georgia dated the fossil to be 33,570 ± 120 years old.</li>
|

<li>A femur bone from a hardosaur in 2004 was found in the Hell Creek formation. The University of Georgia using accelerator mass spectrometry dated the sample to 25,670 ± 220 years old.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>An acrocanthosaurus (carnivorous dinosaur) specimen was excavated in 1984 near Glen Rose, Texas and was tested in 2010 by the University of Georgia. It was found to be 29,690 ± 90 years old.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul><p>Are the dates beyond the range of testing technology? No, the University of Georgia had extended the maximum limit up over 50,000 years, and the ages were all well below this. Are the ages still too old? After all, even though these ages are much younger than conventional ages, many creationists believe life on earth to be much younger than even the reported carbon-14 ages of these dinosaur fossils. This question will be dealt with in a later section of this article.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Another question that might come up with respect to these studies is the issue of contamination. If young organic material became mixed with the dinosaur material that was carbon-14 dated, then the younger material would skew the result to a younger age.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Special care was taken to prevent this kind of contamination.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Bones were cleaned by ultrasonics.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul><li>Then the bone was crushed and acetic acid was applied to remove any possible external contamination (carbonates).</li>
|

|
|
<li>Hydrochloric acid was added to dissolve the bone and release carbon dioxide, which was then chemically treated to produce graphite. This graphite was then tested for carbon-14. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref7_wrdblu9 title="Caron-14 dated dinosaur bones - under 40,000 years old.

<h2 id=mcetoc_1c356uh770>How carbon-14 dating works</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Living animals take in carbon-14 on a regular basis. After death, the animal no longer takes in any carbon-14 (nor any other kind of carbon). The carbon-14 decays at a known rate, but since it is being replenished while the animal is alive, only after the animal dies is no carbon-14 added. Of course, this assumes that carbon-14 is not inadvertently added to the dead animal’s remains. Also, this assumes that no natural process is depositing extra carbon-14 in the animal’s remains. Assuming no intrusion of carbon-14 from external sources, the existing amount of carbon-14 resident in the animal’s remains will decay, assuming the current known decay rate. Given the initial amount of carbon-14, the decay rate, and the remaining amount of carbon-14 in a fossil, the length of time it would take for the initial amount of carbon-14 to decay to the amount measured as remaining in the fossil may be calculated.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Carbon-14 decays with a half-life of about 5,730 years. So if an object contained 1,000 carbon-14 atoms, after 5,730 years it should contain approximately half that much, or 500 carbon-14 atoms.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>There is one other pertinent point to be made about carbon-14 dating, however. Carbon-14’s half-life is too short to measure dates over a million years ago. In fact, if the entire earth were solid carbon-14, in a million years so much would have decayed that there would not be even a single atom of carbon-14 left. Scientists have done studies which suggest that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, but those dates were not arrived at by use of carbon-14 dating methods. There are other dating methods, making use of materials with even longer half-lives, such as the potassium-argon method, which have been used in dating dinosaurs.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>So, you might ask, why is this article about carbon-14 dating of dinosaurs? Wouldn’t the dinosaurs be too old for carbon-14 dating to work on them? That is the point. That statement would be true if the dinosaurs were really millions of years old. But, if they were not that old, merely thousands of years old, then carbon-14 dating applied to dinosaur fossils might detect some carbon-14 atoms. Are dinosaurs only thousands of years old?</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h2 id=mcetoc_1c356uh781>Other evidence indicating younger ages for fossils</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>These findings about dinosaur fossils are just a piece of the evidence indicating assumed ages are perhaps mistaken. Other pieces include carbon-14 in diamonds, other soft tissue found in dinosaur fossils, and evidence that conventional dating methods are inaccurate.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h3 id=mcetoc_1c356uh782>Carbon-14 in diamonds</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Diamonds supposedly formed even further back in the past than dinosaurs —over a billion years ago. There is even less reason to expect to find carbon-14 in them, but it has been found. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref12_6kn4moy title="Sarfati J Diamonds: a creationist’s best friend. Radiocarbon in diamonds: enemy of billions of years. http://creation.com/diamonds-a-creationists-best-friend Accessed 2013 Oct" href=#footnote12_6kn4moy>12</a>

</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h3 id=mcetoc_1c356uh783>Soft tissue found in dinosaur bones</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Soft tissue normally will deteriorate over time. Soft tissue should not last 65 million years, yet it has been found in a dinosaur fossil which “has” to be at least that old. This is so contrary to conventional theory that the discovery met with disbelief at first. <span style=line-height:1.538em><a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref13_8j4azbi title="Gift J (2009 Jul) Dinosaur Bones - a Whole Lot of Twistin' Goin' On http://tasc-creationscience.org/content/dinosaur-bones-whole-lot-twistin-goin Accessed 2013 Jul 2" href=#footnote13_8j4azbi>13</a>

<h3 id=mcetoc_1c356uh784>Other evidence of inaccurate dating</h3>
|
|||
|
|
<p>A living animal has carbon dated as having been dead for thousands of years.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Lava that obviously flowed around a piece of wood, since the hardened lava has taken the shape of the wood, has been dated as having solidified millions of years before the wood existed. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref15_iwiy4et title="Snelling A, Radioactive ‘dating’ in conflict! http://creation.com/radioactive-dating-in-conflict Accessed 2013 Oct" href=#footnote15_iwiy4et>15</a>
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The point here is that the evidence of carbon-14 dating presented above is not the only evidence indicating that currently accepted dates for dinosaur and other fossils might be wrong. Experiments are replicated in the belief that increasing the number of results supporting a hypothesis increases the evidence for the hypothesis. In a similar manner, the more evidence of young ages for dinosaur fossils, the more compelling the evidence (in total) becomes.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Could the dinosaur ages now be said to be precisely what the carbon-14 dating results indicated? Even this is too old for many creationists, who would expect them to be less than 6 to 10 thousand years old. Several factors may possibly account for this seeming discrepancy. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref16_gf4o58z title="Brown RH (1979) The interpretation of C-14 dates. Origins 6:30–44." href=#footnote16_gf4o58z>16</a>
|
|||
|
|
Some think there was a change in atmospheric concentration of carbon-14. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref17_tgqm22z title="Brown RH (1973 Apr) Answering Questions Concerning Radiocarbon Dating. https://www.ministrymagazine.org/archive/1973/04/answering-questions-concerning-radiocarbon-dating Accessed 2013 Oct" href=#footnote17_tgqm22z>17</a>

|
|||
|
|
In one scenario, there would have been change in the carbon-14 concentration due to the burying of much of the earth’s carbon-bearing plant life at the flood. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref19_hxm6fak title="Brown W (2013) How accurate is radiocarbon dating? http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/FAQ221.html Accessed 2013 Nov 2" href=#footnote19_hxm6fak>19</a>
|
|||
|
|
According to this theory, the proportion of carbon-14 would have been higher due to the removal of much normal carbon. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref20_94t7ulk title="Brown W (2013) How accurate is radiocarbon dating? http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/FAQ221.html Accessed 2013 Nov 2" href=#footnote20_94t7ulk>20</a>
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Another possibility is that, as hinted in Genesis 2:5-6, the pre-flood atmosphere may have had a much higher humidity than the post-flood atmosphere. The increased humidity before the flood would have reduced the formation of carbon-14 in the atmosphere, while the drier air after the flood would have allowed more carbon-14 formation.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Another possibility is that the earth’s magnetic field may have been stronger before the flood, resulting in less carbon-14 formation before the flood.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>And yet one more interesting possibility is that radioactive decay rates might have been increased due to the flood’s mechanical stresses on piezoelectric quartz in granite rocks. This could make younger fossils yield dates greater than their actual age. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref21_560wnun title="Brown W (2013) The origin of Earth's radioactivity. http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/Radioactivity2.html Accessed 2013 Nov 2" href=#footnote21_560wnun>21</a>
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Evidence of differing dates for parts of the same animal support the hypothesis that there was a change in the carbon-14 concentration or in the decay rate. One interesting observation is that rapidly-growing body parts, such as hair, would absorb carbon-14 from most recent concentrations, while slower-growing body parts, such as bone or muscle, might contain concentrations of carbon-14 based on levels of carbon-14 existing at earlier times in the environment of the animal. Therefore, evidence of differing carbon-14 concentrations (i.e., different ages) for different parts of the same animal are consistent with the hypothesis of a change in the carbon-14 concentration in the environment. We now will look to see if there is just such evidence.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>A frozen musk ox found at Fairbanks Creek, Alaska, had scalp muscle tissue 24,000 years old and hair 17,200 years old according to carbon-14 dating. At least three other frozen animals, two mammoths and a mastodon, have been found with parts of their bodies with carbon-14 ages far different from other parts or from surrounding plant life that perished with or shortly after the animals. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref22_zl3ryy3 title="Holzschuh J, de Pontcharra J, Miller H (unknown date) Recent C-14 dating of fossils including dinosaur bone collagen. http://www.sciencevsevolution.org/Holzschuh.htm Accessed 2013 Nov 2" href=#footnote22_zl3ryy3>22</a>

<h2 id=mcetoc_1c356uh785>Implications</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>If the conventionally accepted age of dinosaurs is wrong, then what about other conventionally accepted dates? When <em>was</em> the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous? Other dates are thrown into question. This implies there may be less certainty about the time frame during which species supposedly evolved. One point that is worth noticing is that these dinosaur ages are all much younger than the conventional ones. This implies there was less time for evolution to occur. Even with the accepted millions and millions of years for evolution to supposedly have brought mammals into existence from their precursors, evolution still has many problems. Shortening the time available just makes evolution even more unlikely. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref9_gn96zit title="Gift, J (2012 Aug) Creation: A Matter of Perspective. http://tasc-creationscience.org/content/creation-matter-perspective Accessed 2013 Oct" href=#footnote9_95kkicb>9</a>

|
<p>Evolutionists have said the following. From Louis Jacobs, Southern Methodist University, Former President of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>Co-occurrence of men and dinosaurs. Such an association would dispel an Earth with vast antiquity. The entire history of creation, including the day of rest, could be accommodated in the seven biblical days of the Genesis myth. Evolution would be vanquished. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref23_q3n8rrs title="Juby I (2013 May 1) Paluxy fossil human footprints – special Genesis Week, Episode 33, season 2 http://ianjuby.org/newsletter/?p=657 Accessed 2013 Oct" href=#footnote23_q3n8rrs>23</a>
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>From Steven M. Stanley, Johns Hopkins University:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote><p>There is an infinite variety of ways in which, since 1859, the general concept of evolution might have been demolished. Consider the fossil record—a little known resource in Darwin’s day. The unequivocal discovery of a fossil population of horses in Precambrian rocks would disprove evolution. More generally, any topsy-turvy sequence of fossils would force us to rethink our theory, yet not a single one has come to light. As Darwin recognized, a single geographic inconsistency would have nearly the same power of destruction. <a class=see-footnote id=footnoteref24_rll3ciw title="Stanley SM (1981) The New Evolutionary Timetable, Basic Books, New York, NY" href=#footnote24_rll3ciw>24</a>
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The evidence strongly hints that evolution is, at best, not on as firm a foundation as many have claimed. Do we look at the evidence and let it speak, or do we deny the evidence because of our biases? This is the choice we face when confronted with evidence such as presented in this article. Science is theories built on evidence; evidence built on theories (i.e. evidence accepted because of confirmation of existing theories or evidence rejected because it contradicts existing theories) is dogma built on bias.</p>
