Re: Young Earth Radiocarbon.
I loved the article you linked to. It displays the wishful thinking of evolutionists. The article said that these newly discovered fish might be able to see like humans.
Strangely enough most fish seem able to accurately judge distance underwater without binocular vision.With its unusual flattened face, the fish's eyes appear to be directed forward, something Pietsch says he's never seen in 40 years as an icthyologist, a scientist who studies the structure, classification and habits of fishes. Most fishes have eyes on either side of their head so that each eye sees something different. Only very few fishes have eyes whose radius of vision overlaps in front, providing binocular vision, a special attribute well developed in humans that provides the ability to accurately judge distance.
Those lobe fins that it uses to crawl along the reef look just like fins to me, not resembling legs in the least.
I guess we see what we want to see, regardless of what's really there.Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

Re: Young Earth Radiocarbon.
That's because humans and most mammals have forward facing eyes, a requirement for binocular vision and depth perception. The article explains that quite clearly, but apparently you didn't read past the first paragraph.
Nope. Non overlapping fields of vision means no depth perception. Try playing catch with a hardball and keeping one eye closed. See how long before you get your front teeth knocked out.Strangely enough most fish seem able to accurately judge distance underwater without binocular vision.
Most fish get by without it because they don't need depth perception to survive. This one inhabits a niche where such vision is a huge evolutionary benefit.
So to all professional biologists those front appendages are stiff fins that are used as legs. To a butt-ignorant goober like you they seem to be merely fins. Let's see, whose opinion should carry more weight?Those lobe fins that it uses to crawl along the reef look just like fins to me, not resembling legs in the least.
Maybe you could define fins and legs in marine creatures for us so we can know the difference.
Speaking of legs/fins, have you ever gotten over your cowardice in discussing the mudskipper? Still claim they propel themselves on land by just using their tails?

Talking about your own Fundy-induced blindness again I see.

Re: Young Earth Radiocarbon.
Just came across this thread. I'm not a scientist, so there's a lot I don't understand; however, I have a few questions:
1) Why would a flood that buried a huge amount of carbon from living organisms in the ground affect the C14/C12 ratio in the atmosphere?
2) Does assuming a global flood followed by a higher C14 production rate just after the flood allow C14/C12 ratio in the atmosphere reach a rough equilibrium by about 3500 years ago, ie. in time for radiocarbon dating to be accurate for historical times?
Thanks
