Abstract

In the twenty years since introduction of radiocarbon dating by Libby, some 91 universities and laboratories in 25 different countries have dated over 15,000 independent specimens of onceliving matter. Almost every imaginable form of life both recent and ancient is represented, gathered from every corner of the globe, including "prehistoric" man, a wide range of fossil flora and fauna, and even coal, petroleum and natural gas. All such matter is found datable within 50,000 years as published. When the published dates are corrected for a basic scientific error in the method, they not only point to a recent creation, but they show an unmistakable world-wide disappearance of man and animals for a long period about 5,000 years ago. On the hypothesis that this drop-off corresponds to the Genesis Flood, it is then possible to derive a Carbon-14 production rate variation with time, which in turn leads to a better correction from published to true dates. When the true dates of 9,671 independent specimens of animals, trees and human culture are then separated into three categories, and their distribution studied from creation to present in 500-year intervals, a most remarkable confirmation of the details of Biblical Creation and Noachian Flood can be seen on fourteen separate counts. This is shown graphically in Figure 3. The hypothesis employed is thus confirmed! The evolutionary concept of time, life and history stands thoroughly discredited, and the Biblical record of creation and flood just as thoroughly vindicated.
