Explain why both relative dating and absolute dating are necessary to develop the fossil record.?

Mohamed Szollosi: Q. How do YECs explain the fossil record. A. YECs explain fossils as animals that have been swiftly buried for the period of the worldwide flood in Noah's time approx 4300 years in the past. There is not any "document", only a snapshop of the animals that had been alive then (together with dinosaurs). Q. How do YECs provide an explanation for C14 courting. A. C14 courting assumes that the C14/C12 ratio has reached equilibrium. It might do so within 25,000 years, good within the "scientifically authorized age of Earth" of approx 4.7bn years in the past. It isn't at equilibrium yet. That means C14/C12 ratios have been cut back than they are in these days, so this false assumption exagerates the number of half-lifes, and thereby gives bigger a while than truth. ----------------------------------- westy - the typical Egyptian chronology by using Menatho conflicts with each Biblical and Assyrian chronology. The flawed assumption made is that there was no over! lap between the reigns of Pharoahs. The archaeologist David Down suggests "a number of Egyptian pharaohs may have ruled whilst in extraordinary areas of the land". Egypt has traditionally been divided into northern and southern kingdoms....Show more
