i can't understand how our science can take the shells from ocean floors to the top of mountains over such a long time and they still are in good shape.

Originally posted by 7ate9Perhaps if the parent amount of 14C in the atmosphere were different it may have some effect, but radioCdating methods work so well and have been so rigourously tested it seems exceptionally unlikely. Also, we were in an ice age from 118,000 years BP to 18,000 years BP and atmospheric CO2 conc was relatively static.
so, can the atmospheric changes have an effect on dating systems 60,000 yrs or less?

i don't know much about dating systems and are trying to learn. i was under the impression that 60000 years and less were not dated by radioactive decay rates and could be affected by the environment. i think i was wrong.
i've heard talk about how it's the nucleus that decays and cannot be changed as other neculai around would not take on the same effect. y ...[text shortened]... hat i'm looking at here is it possible to speed up time and how, despite how confused i am?

well from the point that science takes, it makes no sense that shells would appear on top of mountains and high places at the same time. it is through the gradual changes of the earth... such as continental drift. evolution would come into play if it is linked to those other fields,as for the long periods it takes for the land to achieve this the shells would ...[text shortened]... anything in regards to the flood, it does show the areas that earth has undergone big changes.
