White Elephant 1:
Major news media recently reported that bad luck ensured the extinction of the dinosaurs (note 1). However, many dinosaur bones have been C-14 dated as no older than 40,000 years old (note 2). Did the authors not know that? Did the authors pretend or choose not to know that? Some creationists sent dinosaur bones to labs to date their ages in the C-14 method and got the ages of around 20 to 30 thousand years old (note 2). Those ages are correct for these reasons:
The labs tested the C-14 ages of the collagen in the dinosaur bones (note 2). “Dr. Libby, the discoverer of Radiocarbon dating and Nobel Prize winner, showed that purified collagen could not give erroneous ages. Dr. Stafford’s research demonstrated in 1990 that conventional methods of purifying collagen were within 5% of the most excruciatingly exact extraction techniques”(note 3). That means the creationists got the correct ages for the dinosaur bones.
However, evolutionists keep refusing to test the C-14 ages of soft tissues/collagen in the dinosaur bones. For example, Jack Horner, a dinosaur expert, refused that in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szHNDAMfA0s
