old is the earth? Billions of years or just thousands of years?
Carbon-14 has been found in dinosaur bones, coal and diamonds. Why is that a big deal? Carbon-14, also know as carbon dating, is only valid for ages less than 100,000 years. Yet diamonds, supposedly a billion years old, carbon date to be 55,000 years old. Something is wrong. Coal is supposed 300,000,000 years old. Yet it carbon dates to 30,000 to 55,000 years old. Something is wrong. Dinosaurs are supposed to have died out 65,000,000 years ago. Yet their bones carbon date to 30,000 to 55,000 years old. Something is definitely wrong!
There should not be any carbon 14 in dinosaur bones, coal, or diamonds. But scientific studies have found C14 in all of these multiple times. What this means is that there is a problem using radioactive decay to measure ages. These C14 dating results shows two things:
Based on evolutionary thinking there should be no C14 in diamonds, coal or dinosaur bones. All of the C14 should be gone within 100,000 years. Yet, there it is. This is powerful evidence that the earth is young.
Second, this shows that C14 dating is not reliable nor accurate in some circumstances. Based on the Biblical time line we know that these objects cannot be more than 6,000 years old. In addition the RATE study has shown that there were periods of accelerated radioactive decay several thousand years in the past. Where C14 dating can be calibrated using historical artifacts of a know age, C14 produces good results. However, when we get beyond that, it is not a reliable dating method.
Carbon-14 in Fossils and Diamonds: An Evolution Dilemma (AIG Article)
Most people choose the wide road. It's the way everyone else is going. It's wide and it's an easy road, so it must be the right road. But it's the wrong way!
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. - Matthew 7:13
The wide road, and wide gate is our choice based what feels good. But our feelings (our heart) are deceptive.
The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; - Jeremiah 17:9
Christianity... meaning belief in Jesus Christ... is not a blind faith driven by emotions. It is an informed faith, based on historical facts and truth.
The truth is that we are law breakers (sinners) in need of a Savior from the just wrath of God. That Savior is Jesus Christ.
Trusting Jesus is not the easy way. It is the narrow road, through a narrow gate, and it can be difficult at times. But it is the right way to go. And it is the only way to have eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Trust Jesus. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. - Acts 16:31
