Talk:Carbon dating gives inaccurate results (Talk.Origins)
Forwarded Edit by user:Brianbleakley
Samples can be contaminated with younger or older carbon, again invalidating the results.
Thank you Talk Origins for proving the point of the claim. They are once again begging the question since the way to determine if an object is contaminated with "younger" or "older" carbon is by dating it with some other method uniformitarian. Response: This is not fallacious reasoning. Talk.Origins is referring to instances where contamination is detectable, and an incorrect date would be predicted before before a sample would be dated. Talk.Origins is not arguing that we should disregard any unexpected results- although we should double-check them and look for specific causes of contamination- they are merely stating the obvious.
