Talk:Ice core

Re: "Ice cores are obtained by drilling core samples of ice near the poles."

Some recent studies have been done on ice cores taken from the upper slopes of Mt. Kenya.

Re: "This is further demonstrated by the Lost squadron. In 1952, P-38 Lightning fighter planes ran out of gas and landed in Greenland. Then in 1990, a group started looking for the plains. They finally found them in May, 1992, under 250 ft and hundreds of layers of ice."

They were also several miles from their original landing place due to the motion of the glacier they were embedded in.

Re: "Now it is true that neither of these is representative of the glaciers used for ice core analyses to day, but the could be been representative of those glaciers in the past."

Or not. Anyway, this assumes that there is no way to distinguish between the two, and also implies that the people taking the ice-core samples don't know what they are doing.

Re: "However most articles do not make a distinction between these so called annual layers and the visible layers."

This may be true of popular articles, but it is not true of the original research articles.

Re: "All ice core "dates" derived by calibrating the various methods to the uniformitarian theoretical system. When calibrated to the Creation theoretical system the dates derived agree with time of the Flood."

A link to the Creation theoretical system would be useful, since it is difficult to locate.

This article says no such thing. The only thing it really says is that it can’t happen because it would require layers on ice being created in more then one year, but that is what the argument is trying to disprove in the first place.

It’s nothing more then wishful thinking. It’s like arguing that caves have to be old because the dictionary says that cave require long ages to form by definition. This article by no way even challenges that they are there, but they are there. This claim is too well documented. They are there and they won’t stop existing if you just throw some math out there that assumes old-earthism. --Nlawrence 21:11, 19 February 2007 (EST)
