[_ Old Earth _] new kid on the block

[Charlie Hatchett]

charlie:

In my opinion, they picked out the date that made the most sense in
uniformatarian terms. This subjectivity is in fact circular reasoning, i.e.- "The
other dates dont' fit the model, so the discordant dates must be wrong".
Instead, maybe the uniformatarian assumption should be questioned.

jwu:

This was explained in the article. Most data actually was concordant, there

were just a few odd results. These were not discarded but explained.

Any comment on the two papers about helium diffusion which i provided,

and what is zour take on the heat problem of accellerated decay?

Yeah, but to reject 139 samples and only keep one as "good" smacks of

cherry picking.


I'll start researching the plausibility of accelerated radioactive decay, and it's

hypothesized corresponding ultra-high heats.


I'll be honest: I haven't had time to throughly read the two papers you

you provided on helium diffusion. Could you post the parts that you think

are relevant to the discussion at hand. That would help tremendously.


Sorry. No disrespect intended. I'm juggling 5 kids, my wife, my business,

my archeological studies, and serving at church. It gets a little crazy at

times :o
