About this Episode
Presentations that Paul gave at the UCCA for the ICC-International Creation Conference.
Concordance-Radiometric Isotope Dating-and why Creationist are interestedin this type of dating fossils.
-The constancy of the radioactive decay rates-varied by thousands of years.
-Accelerated nuclear decay accounts for the variance in ages.
-Then talked about the RATE project-Rate stands for Radioactivity & The Earth.
-Garner was interested in discordance in the rates and she took a look at it more closely. Took a large database of rocks and 29,000 isotopes and compared the rocks age range, as long as the margin of errors matched up. They concluded that was concordant if there was overlap.
-By comparing the ranges between more dates with the wide variety of radio isotope dating, the more discordance that is going on.
-The study authors gave wide latitude in the dating and the types of dating; however, there was consistency in discordance.
-New version of the database came out in January this year that will help determine the accuracy of the database.
-Do minerals give different dates within the same rocks? There is a lot more than can be done with the preliminary study.
Study Garner discusses he wants to expand upon and of course, his study raises a lot of questions for Creationists.
Number of talks at the International Creation Conference similar to what Garner discussed. A lot of advancement between the original ICC and the most recent conference.
Zachary promotes next podcast with Dr. Stephen Lloyd about Noah’s Flood and the Biblical record.
