Abstract

Radiocarbon is found throughout the geological record. The confirmation of this hypothesis in the cases investigated in this paper strengthens the young earth creationist paradigm. This research builds upon carbon isotope analyses done on diamonds, coal, carbon dioxide gas wells and coal bed methane (CBM) gas wells where significant amounts of radiocarbon were found, and extends it to the analysis of deep natural gas wells. The resulting radiocarbon data, given as percent of modern carbon (pMC), provide a strong indication that both the carbon dioxide (0.58 pMC) and methane (0.32 pMC) gases found in the Ordovician strata of two Valverde Basin natural gas fields are thousands, not hundreds of millions years old.
