What would make us think that dinosaurs are millions of years old?

Question

Dinosaurs walked the earth with Adam & Eve around 7,000 years ago and they probably ate them. Why would anyone think that these animals were millions of years old?

Some say carbon dating & some say carbon dating won't work on dinos??/

I thought carbon dating didn't work for hundreds of millions of years??/

Answer 1

Its an article of faith if you believe in evolution. Because nobody has ever seen evolution, it must take millions of years. Doesn't that sound scientific?

Carbon dating is not reliable for thing over 4000 years old. Even recent artifacts have been dated at 20,000 years old, and older.

I don't believe that any fossil could last a million years, let alone, 65 million years. It would break down chemically long befor that.

Answer 2

LOL oh dang I just got the answer to this from Kent Hovind, hmm i cant answer it as best as he can, but here i go anyhow, well the earth is NOT millions of years old. If u just do a little math by using the ages of Adam and Eve and so forth, its not that hard. The Earth is only 6 thousand years old, then there was a flood 44 hundred years later. Have you ever heard of the locness monster (i dont know if i spelt that right) But so forth they have many accounts of people witnessing this creature, and they all say this creature represents a Plesiosaurs. There is many other places around this earth were this creature and a few others were located. And yes most dinosaurs are extinct but you should really get Kent Hovinds videos and watch them, you can learn something from it. Hope I could help

Answer 3

65 millions years ago a global killer (a 10 miles wide meteorite) crashed in Yucatán, Mx, and killed the dinosaurs as they are known. Without predators, the little mammals had a chance for evolution and the humans appeared in scene.
As a matter of fact, some dinos did survive and developed also into birds, so strictly dinos are with us nowadays.
Our species is really young, some 3 millions years and a half old, so if Adam & Eve were arround, of course they had chance to try chiken.

Answer 4

Carbon dating tells us by the amount of carbon decay, that the fossils we have found have been pretty much as we have found them for hundreds of millions of years. Why would anyone think that Adam and Eve actually walked the earth?

Answer 5

Soil deposits, carbon dating, continental drift, to name just a few. Also, since we know the speed of light, and the distance of stars/galaxies, then we know how long it took for the light to reach the earth and it’s not 7000 years. The earth was formed billions of years ago, dinos lived millions of years ago, Adam & Eve is Jewish mythology borrowed from the Mesopotamians, get over it.

Answer 6

Chronometric dating (potassium-40). If they're found in volcanic ash, K/Ar dating is effective. The frission-track dating method is a good backup. They don't really use carbon dating for paleontological finds anymore. So any anti-evolutionist using that as an argument needs to do more research.

Of course, if you have fossils that indicate a creature died millions of years ago through a very consistent means of atomic decay and a god that says the earth is only 7000 years old, then god is lying. Either the earth is really old and he lied about his age, or the earth is really young and he deceptively planted fossils.

Answer 7

People who ask about carbon dating are usually thinking about the radiometric dating methods that are claimed to give millions and billions of years; carbon dating can only give thousands of years (anything over about 50,000 years old, should theoretically have no detectable carbon-14 left).

With the exception of carbon dating, radiometric dating can only be used on igneous rocks, not sedimentary rocks or the actual fossils. Because fossils are found in sedimentary rock, paleontologists try to use radiometric dating information on igneous rocks found below and above the fossils in order to try and determine an age range for the sedimentary rocks.

The isotope concentrations can be measured very accurately, but isotope concentrations are not dates. To derive ages from such measurements, unprovable assumptions have to be made such as:
-The starting conditions are known (for example, that there was no daughter isotope present at the start, or that we know how much was there).
-Decay rates have always been constant.
-Systems were closed or isolated so that no parent or daughter isotopes were lost or added.

These dating methods are far from infallible—they are indirect methods based on some big assumptions, and evolutionary geologists themselves will often not accept a radiometric date unless they think it’s correct (i.e. it matches what they already believe). There are plenty of scientists who question their accuracy. For instance, the “RATE” project has discovered several striking examples of contradictions in these dating methods. If you want, you can get their book or movie called "Thousands...Not Billions" and learn about some of their remarkable results. If you do a bit of research, you will find that there is a lot of proof of radiometric dating not being accurate. The radioactive dating methods are often a classic example of self-deception and circular reasoning.

OK, since you mention dinosaurs, is there evidence of younger dates for dinosaur fossils?

In 1990 a sample of various dinosaur bones were sent to the University of Arizona for a “blind” Carbon-14 dating procedure. “Blind” in the sense that they didn’t tell them what the bones were. The oldest date they got was 16 thousand years; that’s a far cry from the millions of years evolutionists suggest. If dinosaurs became extinct more than 65 million years ago, there should be no carbon-14 left in their bones. Evolutionist of course say the samples must have been contaminated.

In 1981, scientists identified unfossilized dinosaur bones which had been found in Alaska 20 years earlier. Philip J. Currie (an evolutionist) wrote about this and some similar finds, “An even more spectacular example was found on the North Shore of Alaska, where many thousands of bones lack any significant degree of permineralization. The bones look and feel like old cow bones, and the discoverers of the site did not report it for twenty years because they assumed they were bison, not dinosaur, bones.” As Dr. Margaret Helder has said, “How these bones could have remained in fresh condition for 70 million years is a perplexing question. One thing is certain: they were not preserved by cold. Everyone recognizes that the climate in these regions was much warmer during the time when the dinosaurs lived.”

In 1990, Scientists from the University of Montana found T. rex bones that were not totally fossilized and even found what appeared to be blood cells in them. Dr. Mary Schweitzer said, “It was exactly like looking at a slice of modern bone. But, of course, I couldn’t believe it. … The bones, after all, are 65 million years old. How could blood cells survive that long?” How indeed?

And then in 2005, they found an even greater discovery. Science Daily website said (March 25, 2005): “Dr. Mary Schweitzer . . . has succeeded in isolating soft tissue from the femur of a 68-million-year-old dinosaur. Not only is the tissue largely intact, it’s still transparent and pliable, and microscopic interior structures resembling blood vessels and even cells are still present.” As Dr. David Menton said, “It certainly taxes one’s imagination to believe that soft tissue and cells could remain so relatively fresh in appearance for the tens of millions of years of supposed evolutionary history.” Wouldn’t that be a hit for the meat industry if we could figure out how to preserve meat for so long?

Answer 8

What scientific evidence do you have that (1) dinosaurs lived around 7,000 years ago, (2) that Adam and Eve ever existed, and (3) that "they probably ate them"?
.

Answer 9

No... dinosaurs walked the Earth 65 million years ago and more. Learn your history. Scientists can tests the material that the fossils are made of and can be pretty accurate on how old they are. And if humans walked with dinosaurs, then why the hell wouldn't we know more about them. Stories pass on, ya know.

Answer 10

1. Dinosaur fossils are distributed in land strata that were laid down millions of years ago. They are not found anywhere near the land strata that include later larger mammals, including humans.

2. Genetic information shows that the evolution of birds from dinosaurs took place over several million years.

3. Fossils have been dated via a variety of dating methods that all indicate an age of several million years.

4. The only indication of Adam and Eve is in the Bible, which has no scientific evidence to back it up, and deserves no more credit than any other ancient creation myth.
