Why won’t atheist evolutionary scientists test dinosaur bones for carbon 14?
Is it because the results routinely show man and dinosaurs lived at the same time, thus totally destroying the religion of evolutionism, or is there another reason?
Update for Buddy. That's circular reasoning. Why are the bones assumed to be millions of years old? And if they are, why do they have C14 in them according to those that have tested them? Anything even over 100,000 years old should have no detectable C14 in them.
Jack Horner, the famed paleontologists was offered $20,000 to C14 test a dinosaur bone, but he refused. Even if the bone was 100 million years old and thus the testing can't or won't work, why not just test it to get the $20,000? If you had a $25 dino bone and someone said they'd give you $20,000 to do a $250 C14 test on it, wouldn't you?
Update for Tomp. Scientists routinely use C14 dating on the bones of mammoths, giant sloths, saber tooth tigers, and other similar ancient animals. Why when they show C14 in them, that indicates they are tens of thousands of years old according to the test; however, if the exact same tests are done on the bones of dinosaurs (which incidentally also contain soft tissue like the mammoths), and those results also show similar amounts of C14, their derived ages can't be right, but the mammoths can?
That makes sense to you?
Your analogy is vastly imperfect. It is impossible to measure the stratosphere with a 6-inch ruler. It is not impossible to do a C14 test on dino bones. If somehow it were possible to measure the stratosphere with a 6-inch ruler, and the measurement only cost about $300, I'd sure take the measurement for $20,000. Wouldn't you? I wouldn't care one way or another what the actual height was; I'd have $20,000 in my pocket.
Update for Vincent. Seems to me you are saying that cosmic rays selectively hit dino bones making them look younger, but don't do the same with mammoth bones. How come ALL dino bones that have been C14 tested show them to be 40,000 years old or less, no exceptions? Are only dino bones contaminated? How come testers somehow are able to properly prepare mammoth bones for testing, but never can get it right with dino bones; there's always some problem with cosmic rays or contamination?
And I'm the one demonstrating poor knowledge and understanding?
