Radiocarbon dating is often presented as proof of deep time.
But there’s a problem.
Carbon-14 decays relatively quickly. After enough time, it should no longer be detectable in samples that are millions of years old.
Yet scientists have detected carbon-14 in dinosaur bones, coal, and even diamonds.
That raises an important question:
Are the dates correct, or are the assumptions behind the dating methods leading to inaccurate conclusions?
Understanding how radiocarbon dating works — and its limitations — is key to interpreting the evidence correctly.
