Evidence of Rising Carbon Levels

Emil Silvestru gives an example:

Just after 3:00 he mentions an animal found in the permafrost in Yukon. A frozen musk ox was found in 1970.

Muscles on the back of the head: 24 000 years;
Hair: 17 000 years.

The musk ox would have lived 35 years.

What would be the ages in my table corresponding to 22 000 and 15 000 BC?

2890 B. Chr.

0.09274 pmC/100, so dated as 22 540 B. Chr.

2867 B. Chr.

0.119246 pmC/100, so dated as 20 467 B. Chr.

2845 B. Chr.

0.145681 pmC/100, so dated as 18 745 B. Chr.

2823 B. Chr.

0.172045 pmC/100, so dated as 17 373 B. Chr.

2800 B. Chr.

0.198337 pmC/100, so dated as 16 150 B. Chr.

2778 B. Chr.

0.224559 pmC/100, so dated as 15 128 B. Chr.

2890 to 2778 BC. 112 years. A bit more than the 35 years of a musk ox.

How could this be explained?

• musk oxes lived longer that time after the Flood than now (I mean, the beginning is 67 years after the Flood, and human lifespans were much longer for those born then)
• the muscles had more of a reservoir effect due to some ingestion of carbon already old in the lifetime of the musk ox
• the hair had a contamination effect, carbon 14 higher due to closeness to some Uranium source
• my tables are wrong and the musk ox lived when carbon 14 was rising quicker than I account for.

These are the choices./HGL

Emil Silvestru on Radioactive Decay Rates

If natural nuclear fission reactors existed deep inside the earth, in the core or/and in the mantle, there is no particular reason why they could not have a pulsating character, periodic or random. It is conceivable that during pulses, massive neutrino fluxes were produced which could have then affected radioactive decay rates of all radioisotopes on the planet.

This is from one of four articles on radioactive decay rate variations I was reading with great interest on CMI.

I will first list them:

• Variable radioactive decay rates and the changes in solar activity
  by Andrew Sibley
  http://creation.com/radioactive-decay-rates-and-solar-activity
• Radioactive decay rate depends on chemical environment
  by Tas Walker
  http://creation.com/radioactive-decay-rate-depends-on-chemical-environment
• Billion-fold acceleration of radioactivity demonstrated in laboratory
  by John Woodmorappe
  http://creation.com/billion-fold-acceleration-of-radioactivity-demonstrated-in-laboratory
• Neutrinos—the not-so-neutral particles
  by Emil Silvestru
  http://creation.com/neutrinos-not-so-neutral

What exactly was I saying about atomic warfare in the Nodian pre-Flood society, a few months or perhaps even a year ago? I was saying for instance such bombs may have accelerated decay rates very substantially for pre-Flood radioactive samples.

Whence my interest in Mahabharata poem as having possibly sth to do with warfare when Kali Yuga is supposed to have begun, i e 155 years before the Flood (if we date it by Roman Martyrology).

In other words, Hindoo Mahabharata freaks if succeeding in proving atom bombs existed and were used thousands of years ago, would be doing Young Earth Creationism a big favour. Perhaps not a necessary one, but still a big one.

For the reason stated by Emil Silvestru in the quote above.

Of course, there is this other take on very old ages by very long half lives - that they have not been tested as to the Geiger measurer ticking rate per se and calculated half life from there but rather calibrated half lives from old samples. I am not speaking as an expert here, but I am noting that something like that was done when a mummy supposed to have been historically dated was used to calibrate C14. As already noted on the three parts of the fifth part of a series that also includes messages here:

• 5) New blog on the kid : Quarterlife is a Bad Term
• 5b) Assorted retorts from yahoo boards and elsewhere : Answering Bill Nye, the Science Guy on a few points
• 5c) New blog on the kid : Phil Provaznik/Dalrymple on Potassium-Argon and on Principle, more on Fission Track and Isochrons (a debunking of...)

Take it as a suggestion. I have found consistent or near such mutism towards non-specialists among specialists of today, when adressing the essays to them and challenging for refutations if they have such. So I cannot claim to know for a fact exactly how it is claculated, but these are my musings on the matter.
