DIAMONDS, A FRIEND

For they deliberately suppress this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water. Through these things the world existing at that time was destroyed when it was deluged with water.
II Peter 3:5-6 NET

The link below greatly expands on the main idea in this blog. Excerpts were taken from the article along with my own thoughts.

Carbon-14 dating is not used to date rocks at millions of years old. Some scientists have estimated the ages of diamonds to be millions to billions of years old using other radiometric dating methods. So why has carbon-14 been found in diamonds originally buried about a hundred miles beneath the surface when carbon-14 could not permeate the diamond, not to mention that far beneath the surface if any c-14 made it that far anyway? The c-14 "should" have disappeared long before the diamond became a diamond if millions or billions of years is true.

Because of their hardness, diamonds (the hardest known substance) are extremely resistant to contamination through chemical exchange. Since diamonds are considered to be so old by evolutionary standards, finding any c-14 in them would be strong support for a recent creation.

You see, these are simple step-by-step items to consider. There is no need to talk about what a theory is compared to a fact when you have these types of items of evidence, and many more, to consider carefully first; although I understand it can be stimulating to expound and expand on what makes this a that or that a this.

All radiometric dating methods are based on assumptions about events that happened in the past. If the assumptions are accepted as true (as is typically done in the evolutionary dating processes), results can be biased toward a desired age. In the reported ages given in textbooks and other journals (or peer reviewed papers before they make it to the journal stage), these evolutionary assumptions have not been questioned, while results inconsistent with long ages have been censored. When the assumptions were evaluated and shown faulty, the results supported the biblical account of a global Flood and young earth. We Christians should not be afraid of radiometric dating methods. Carbon-14 dating is really the friend of Christians, and it supports a young earth.

Facts. They can be such annoying things to some and a good friend to others.

MAD AT GOD

Monday, December 14, 2009

For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.
Romans 1:21-22 NET

Don’t forget this. Non-intelligent designers and non-creationists are just mad at God. That’s all. Keep this in mind when debating. The more intimidating the evidence appears, the madder they get. That’s it. They are licked and ticked. Then they believe they need to be more clever than ever. How sad. But also remember that the truth is in our side. We need to pray for them, too.
