let's start with carbon dating: isn't coal carbon? coal is made in marshy areas with lots of pressure. marshy area...... how about vegitation/plants in a flood? lots of pressure..... have you ever swam in a flood or a tsunami? it's a lot of pressure pushing on you trying to swim against the current. now multiply that by lots to see what it was for the flood. ta da! you have coal! which is carbon..... which means that everything they say is 10 million years old is only around 10 thousand.

Carbon is in Carbon Paper. Carbon Paper is black. Coffee is black. Coffee has caffeine. Caffeine wakes you up. My Mom wakes me up. My Mom is a woman. Woman comes from Man. Man comes from God. So Carbon comes from God, and this proves that God created the world in 6 days, 6000 years ago.
You know, Dumdum, carbon is contained in the molecules of all living things on earth and their remains, not just coal.
How hard is it, really, to look up carbon dating online and make sure you actually understand what it is before posting something idiotic like this for all the world to see?
JustinGG, does that mean your mom is God, as she's made coffee before, which, as we know, is carbon, because it's black?
Wow!!!Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch .
Waaaaait, but pitch only happened AFTER the flood!
WTF?
Justin Unfortunately, there's a flaw in your proof of God. See, women do come from men, yes, but a woman named Carbon weighs the same as a duck, therefore she is a witch, and God doesn't like witches, so he would fly into a rage and deplete his energy by turning coal into carbon paper. The problem is, that after doing this, he would need to drink the coffee to pick himself back up, and without the coffee, your whole proof falls apart.is
Fundie science is great!
Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!

Pressure does exactly two things to radioactive decay rates: jack, and shit.
The only way pressure can possibly affect radioactive decay is if the pressure is sufficiently great that it actually induces nuclear fusion, and changes the atoms of one element into those of another element with different properties. There is no place on, or even INSIDE of, this planet capable of generating the kind of compression forces needed naturally (the only places we can generate that kind of force even momentarily are inside of the cores of thermonuclear devices and within fusion reactors). In fact, the only place where this kind of pressure is found in our entire solar system is in the deepest guts of the Sun itself.
So it doesn't matter HOW much pressure the carbon in a coal bed is under while it's formed. I promise you it isn't anywhere nearly enough to affect the rate of decay.
How much pressure, for how long? No, "lots of pressure" is not definitive. Show your calculations, please.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
