In all cases, careful precautions were taken to<br />
elim<strong>in</strong>ate any possibility of contam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
from o<strong>the</strong>r sources. Samples <strong>in</strong> all three<br />
“time periods” displayed significant amounts<br />
of 4 C.<br />
This is a significant discovery. S<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong> halflife<br />
of 4 C is relatively short (5,7 0 years), <strong>the</strong>re<br />
should be no detectable 4 C left after about<br />
00,000 years. The average 4 C estimated age<br />
for all <strong>the</strong> layers from <strong>the</strong>se three time periods<br />
was approximately 50,000 years. However,<br />
us<strong>in</strong>g a more realistic pre-Flood 4 C / C ratio<br />
reduces that age to about 5,000 years.<br />
These results <strong>in</strong>dicate that <strong>the</strong> entire geologic<br />
column is less than 00,000 years old—and<br />
could be much younger. This confirms <strong>the</strong><br />
Bible and its age for <strong>the</strong> earth, and challenges<br />
<strong>the</strong> evolutionary idea of long geologic ages.<br />
Accord<strong>in</strong>g to RATE researchers:<br />
Because <strong>the</strong> lifetime of C- 4 is so<br />
brief, <strong>the</strong>se AMS [Accelerator Mass<br />
Spectrometer] measurements pose<br />
an obvious challenge to <strong>the</strong> standard<br />
