[GSMNL] ESA Probe Lands Comet
http://gscim.com/Science_News/11-14/ESA_probe_lands_comet.html
The Philae the lander of the European Space Agency (ESA) probe Rosetta has landed on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gera on November 12th, 201 becoming the first probe to land on a comet.
A look at the high resolution version of the first image shows a grainy surface that is consistent with being a loose arrogate of material held together mainly by gravity, while a portion does look melted from being melted by the sun. It seems to be a mixture of various materials making it most consistent with an exploded or shattered planet. However other possibilities can not be ruled out without an actual mineral analysis.

[GSMNL] Radiometric dating - Erroneous Radiometric dates.
As stated before rocks are not dated by plugging them in to an ACME dating machine. Dating labs do not measure time but measure isotopes ratios. Are these ratios the result of radioactive decay over time or other processes that have taken place in the rock?
Uinkaret Plateau
Ages of Rocks in Millions of Years
| K-Ar | Rb-Sr | Rb-Sr Isochron | Pb-Pb Isochron |
| 0.01 | 1230 - 1310 | 1300 - 1380 | 2390 - 2810 |
| 1.0 - 1.4 | 1260 - 1380 | ||
| 2.63 | 1310 - 1370 | ||
| 3.6 | 1320 - 1440 | ||
| 3.67 | 1360 - 1420 |
Some times different methods used on the same rock, produce different ages. Further more the same method can produce different ages on different parts of the same rock. Some times these are close but other times they are vary different.
Anomalous dates
Some times radiometric dating produces impossible results.
Uranium-Thorium-Lead Method
Ages in Billions of Years
| Apollo Sample # | Low | High | Age Inconsistencies extremes in billions of Years |
| 14310 | 5.3 | 11.2 | 5.9 |
| 14053 | 5.4 | 28.1 | 22.7 |
| 15426 | 4.6 | 16.2 | 11.6 |
| 66095 | 5.6 | 14.1 | 8.5 |
Some soil from the Moon has been dated as more than a billion older than the uniformitarian age for the Moon. It was explained by processes of heating and cooling soil had been through.
Some rocks dated older than the
4.5 billion year evolutionary age for Earth.
| Description | Method | "Date" in billion years. |
| Diamonds from magma | K-Ar Isochron | 6.0 +- 0.3 |
| Rock | Rb-Sr Isochron | 8.75 |
| Rock | Rb-Sr | 8.3 |
| Rock | Re-Os | 11 |
Recent or young volcanic rocks producing excessively old K-Ar "ages":
| Name | Location | Real Date | K-Ar date |
| Kilauea Iki basalt | Hawaii | AD 1959 | 8.5±6.8 Ma |
| Mt. Etna basalt | Sicily | May 1964 | 0.7±0.01 Ma |
| Medicine Lake Highlands obsidian | Glass Mountains, California | <500 years | 12.6±4.5 Ma |
| Hualalai basalt | Hawaii | AD 1800-1801 | 22.8±16.5 Ma |
| East Pacific Rise basalt | Pacific Ocean | <1 Ma | 690±7 Ma |
| Olivine basalt | Nathan Hills,Victoria Land, Antarctica | <0.3 Ma | 18.0±0.7 Ma |
| Anorthoclase in volcanic bomb | Mt Erebus, Antarctica | 1984 | 0.64±0.03 Ma |
| Kilauea basalt | Hawaii | <200 years | 21±8 Ma |
| Kilauea basalt, | Hawaii | <1,000 years | 42.9±4.2 Ma; 30.3±3.3 Ma |
| Sea mount basalt | Near East Pacific Rise | <2.5 Ma | 580±10 Ma; 700±150 Ma |
| East Pacific Rise basalt | Pacific Ocean | <0.6 Ma | 24.2±1.0 Ma |
Examples of negative ages
| Name | Date | Ar-Ar age |
| Glass Mountain | AD 1579 - 1839 | -130,000 -30,000 years |
| Mt. Mihara | AD 1961 | - 70,000 years |
| Sakurajima | AD 1946 | -200,000 years |
G.B. Dalrymple, "40Ar/36Ar Analyses of Historic Lava Flows," Earth and Planetary Science Letters,6 (1969): pp. 47-55.
Some rocks have been measured with negative radiometric ages, in some case in terms of millions of years. Isochron dating can also produce negative ages, by producing a negative slope. K-Ar and Ar-Ar can result in negative ages when atmospheric argon is considered. So if these are real dates then you can hold a rock in your hand that wont form for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years yet.
Now in all fairness Ar-Ar dating can get the right age for a sample of known age, but it can also date samples as way too old, but without a known date there is no way of knowing when it is too old. One key factor is the fact that Ar-Ar dating need a standard of "known" age. If standard is of historically known age, such as would likely be used for testing Ar-Ar dating on sample of known age, then one would be more likely to get the correct age. For allegedly older samples K-Ar is used to "date" the standard and as such it still has the same problems as K-Ar dating.

[GSMNL] Radiometric dating - The assumptions of Radiometric dating
http://genesismission.4t.com/Radiodating/methods.html
Some of the basic Dating Methods are as follows:
- Samarium - Neodymium. (Sm-Nd)
- Rhenium - Osmium (Re-Os)
- Uranium / Thorium - Lead. ( U/Th-Pb)
- Ribidium - Strontium (Rb-Sr)
- Potassium - Argon (K-Ar)
- Argon - Argon (Ar-Ar)
- Lutetium - Hafnium (Lu-Hf)
- Constant decay rate.
- No gain or loss of parent or daughter isotope.
- Known amounts of daughter isotope at start.
A shift from contamination can take place in all of the data points, but such contamination does not affect all data points equally, so it can cause the data points to shift off the true Isochron completely. Given this when one looks at an Isochron plot how can one really tell where the true Isochron line should be. Sufficient contamination can produce any Isochron pattern regardless of the true Isochron. It is even possible to get a negative slope, this would be equivalent to a negative or future date.
When you look at actual isochron plots such as the ones at above link, there seems to be room for subjectivity. Some are better than others but there is often room for multiple plot lines. Even uniformitarian geologists recognize the existence of false isochron. So how do they distinguish good data from bad? The answer is where the sample fits in the Geologic Column.
The unique key assumption of Isochron dating is that the affect of contamination does on the Isochron can be determined. However the quality of an Isochron is still judged by where the sample fits in the Geologic Column. Also like all forms of radiometric dating it assumes that nuclear decay rates are constant, an assumption which will later be shown false.

[GSMNL] Radiometric dating - The theory behind Radiometric dating.
The theory behind radiometric dating is actually quite simple. Every Atom of a given element has the same number of protons, but there are varieties in the number if neutrons. These varieties are called isotopes. Some of these isotopes decay (parent isotope) into other isotopes of other elements (daughter isotope). The time is takes for half of a sample of a given isotope to decay is called its half life. The half life of a given isotope can be as small a fractions of a second to billions of years. Some as far as we know are stable and do not decay.
Measurements of the half lives show that in general they are constant though there have been some reports of small variations. It is these half lives that form the theoretical bases of radiometric dating. The basic idea is that if you have x amount of the parent isotope and y amount of the daughter isotope that given a constant half life you can calculate how much time parent isotope would have to decay to produce the measured amount of the daughter isotope.
Next the assumptions of Radiometric dating

[GSMNL] Asteroid 2014 RC
Based on the Nebula Hypothesis it is claimed that asteroids a remnant from formation of the solar system but it suffers from problems such things as inbalences of angular momentum.. Also real planets both in the solar system and among exoplanets that are not in orbits predicted by the Nebula Hypothesis. Alternative theories include an exploded or shattered planet between Mars and Jupiter. They could have originated from outside the solar system which from a creationist perspective could have been created on day four of the creation week with the rest of the universe. There is also the idea that they formed from material ejected from Earth during the Genesis Flood.
