Why Are Counting Sticks No Older than 60,000 Years Old?

.... the 4:13 Great Leap Forward. I'll just give you 4:15 the cliff notes again 60,000 years ago 4:19 there's no previous example of 4:21 mathematics being anywhere around Homo 4:24 sapiens or around the the progeny of Y 4:27 chromosome Adam and um mitochondrial Eve. 4:30 None. and then all of a sudden 60,000 4:32 years ago we see counting sticks 4:33 everywhere and we see notched counting 4:35 sticks we see three Road not um Notch 4:39 counting sticks where people are 4:40 actually doing not just addition but 4:43 multiplication on various base levels.

Sounds very impressive until you ask the question about dating methods.

So, the thing is, if something is tested as 60,000 years old or younger, chances are it's carbon dated. But a near permineralised skeleton or skeletal part that's buried under lava will be dated by the lava's Potassium Argon proportions, and be dated older.

You know, part of the situations in which you would in the pre-Flood world land under lava would be, being alive and getting buried when the Flood struck, especially in an area close to a volcano or reasonably close to a hypervolcanic eruption. Yes, one of them has carbon dates, and it the Campi Flegrei eruption I get my carbon date for the Flood from, but Mount Toba is obviously dated much older by different means. I wouldn't put it above the ironies of research and peripeties if some lava helping to date Tautavel man to 300,000 years ago came from the Campi Flegrei.

Going from Campi Flegrei (or close by Naples) to Tautavel is, by A1 1381 km. Going from Naples to Prague is 1 497,8 km via A1. And Campi Flegrei ... shucks, what it blew to Czech Republic was volcanic ash, not lava obviously. Never mind.

But the eruption that put lava on the region of Tautavel would have gone off during the Flood, like Campi Flegrei.

Now, whatever your status as mathematician, trying to run away from lava is perhaps not the best way to keep your counting sticks with you. NOT running away because the volcano fries your brain first will not help to keep counting sticks in a recognisable shape. Being found with counting sticks argues you died before or after the Flood and were buried, perhaps close to a home where someone else was using your counting sticks.

So, I'd put men "300,000 years old" (the age of Tautavel man, from memory) as having died in 2958 BC, during the Flood. I'd put a man dated to "50,000" years old sa having actually died quite some while before the Flood, obviously not before creation or before Cain killed Abel, but he would still be older than the man who from another method is dated older.

Hope Chomsky and Berwick liked writing Why Only Us? (the work referenced), but I think Young Earth Creationism offers a better solution than taking men who looked like us for brute beasts before a certain date.
