“Well the truth is that I am honest and I continue to
demonstrate my honesty every day in writing on the web“, afdave.
afdave admitted he posted “a small flaw” in the Young Earth Radiocarbon thread over at theology web!! This is a rare event indeed and earns afdave his first honest day! It occurred in a response to Geochron:
Geochron …
OK, so this seems to clarify that the buried carbon is removed from the total inventory, which is the only thing that makes sense. But the removal of all this carbon is not shown in your blue global 14C inventory curve. When you remove 99% of the carbon at the flood, you are removing it from the system and need to remove 99% of the 14C along with it., the 14C curve will then start to evolve again from close to zero. ie there should be a step in “total 14C” at the same point as the step in UB biomass.
My other problem remains with the ratio curve, which goes to zero at the flood having been higher beforehand. There is no mechanism to change the biosphere 14C/12C ratio downwardes at this pont- you remove a lot of carbon with this ratio and leave behind a small amount of carbon with this ratio. You don’t reduce the ratio. This suggests to me that there is a small flaw in your calculation at about that time,
The Global Inventory curve doesn’t show the removal because it’s not removed from the planet, just from the Upper Biosphere. You are correct. There is a small flaw in my Ratio calc. I missed that for some reason. Thanks.
(Note, I’ve noticed some of afdave’s other posts today might not qualify as honest but I’m going to throw afdave a bone and ignore them. It’s a new year. Maybe afdave has a resolution to play nice and be honest with others. I’ll encourage him today.)
Honest today!
