Just refer to the kt boundary layer. All dinosaur fossils are found beneath that boundary. That’s dated at 66 ma.

Carbon dating has its limitations, and that is why it is not used to date dinosaur fossils. This article spells out some of the limitations and problems associated with Carbon 14 dating procedures.

Here is how dinosaur fossils are actually dated. It is a highly accurate process, but there is always a margin of error. The margin is rarely great.

We carbon date bones. Fossils are not bones.

You'll never win... because there is a fundamental flaw in carbon dating. It is not accurate and there are mistakes and debatable. It can go on forever. I'm assuming you are debating Creationism vs Evolution. I would target Creationism as a Science.

The weak point of Creationism is that it is not based on Science but faith. Creationism will end Science because it doesn't lead to questions to more questions. It just ends with "Because God made it that way."

Strangely, I'm a Conspiracy Theorist... Creationism fits into Aliens creating us as slaves for gold mines. The jumps that talked about in the fossil records and "Junk DNA" fits that theory. But Creationists are faith base and is against Science to gain more knowledge. I know all this sound insane. LOL

I agree with most, give up.
I had 2 joho teens call at my door last year to sell me a cooking book, then religion. After they confirmed their belief re the age of the universe I asked them how they felt about failing science at school. After some conversation I was told that all fossils are fakes put in place by Satan, the great deceiver to make people turn away from god and the bible. Lost cause.

You're wasting your time Carlos. Even if you found written scientific narrative contradicting their assumptions it wouldn't matter. They are in a 'religious mind set' and that's where they're staying.

One way of dating fossils is not to test the actual fossils themselves but to test the rocks or volcanic material near them, or that they were found in.

Recall a Potholer54 video on the subject . "Oi Kent, there's no #@%$ing carbon in it!".

Yes, stop it and find something more useful to do...like clean the bottom of your plant pots.

I don't know if this addresses the exact question or not, but look around the site. It has lots of good info.

You are evolving yourself in an act of futility by participating in a discussion that threatens the moron's core beliefs, it will accomplish nothing, just end it.

Yes. Stop trying; they are invested in their beliefs.

Short answer: no.

Carbon dating is simple, reliable, time tested, science fact. The bible however is myth, legend; has been altered and changed myriad times. Read "Misquoting Jesus" by Ehrman, a PhD biblical scholar. It lays out facts that point out the bible is pretty much BS. Peace.

sure ! How the hell long do you think that trilobite took to become a rock !! ??

Is your friend prepared to change his position in the face of facts? If not, I wouldn't bother.
