I'm already amazed at the events that are dated that are just said
as if they know for a fact they occured when.

It is, of course, a review paper. The original data is shown in the original papers. Probably, I can give you pdfs of them too. They probably base of previous studies, but, as I say, anything I can do to help.

Please do, I'll put them on my lap top and read them when I get a
chance. Worst case you'll have a million questions when I get back.

God has fingers? The whole thing ( religion ) makes sense now. Why didn't i think of the finger theory?

Didn't you know, god is a man but about 50 feet tall and has a huge throne on the top of a mountain but not an earthly mountain.
You should see his tallywhacker....

Why don't you just do us a favor and list the 20 methods used as well as all the different independent assumptions used as well?

And don't forget to say exactly how the results have validated the used assumptions.

Good luck.

the earth is either old or it isn't. So it's a 50/50 bet then either way.

I tackled this all ready. I'll tell you what, I'll send you a copy of the Zhang pdf and YOU can try and refute it, if you will.

By that logic, is a man is ill, and showing all the symptoms of bubonic plague, then it's a 50/50 chance that he's demonically possessed..

Why don't you at least try to demonstrate that you have some elementary understanding of the Zhang paper yourself, and just highlight the 20 odd methods and assumptions used and say how the methods validate the made assumptions. Or is that asking too much?

I have no doubt that the circular reasoning used by Zhang is indeed very impressive, and certainly has bamboozled even yourself.

I have a good understanding of Zhang's paper. His logic is not circular. Feel free to email me, and I'll send you a pdf copy. Kelly has accepted that challenge, won't you?

If not, please don't interrupt the grown ups.

Well you certainly have not demonstrated any understanding of it, whatsoever.

To the contrary, you seem obsessed with making claims and chickening out when asked to produce the goods.

Whenever I have given you any links you simply resond: "Don't trust a word those Charlatans say! It all cr@p! blah di blah blah..."

At least try and back up your claims in the future it you want anyone to take you seriously. And simply sending people pdfs isn't cutting it at the moment. I could send you plenty of pdfs myself, which totally discredit the accuracy of radiometric dating. But sending each other pdfs isn't quite the way to debate is it?

But send me the pdf in anycase, I'll certainly take a look at it.

You mean the one dated from 1985 or so? That one has been thouroughly (obviously not to your satisfaction) discredited.
