Re: Christian Update -- tree rings anyone?
I got that book. It looks very interesting and well-written. Of course I still expect to disagree with him but I don't think it will be difficult to read.

Re: Book on the age of the earth?
Maybe it will get more difficult as I go. I've only read a few pages so far.

Re: Book on the age of the earth?
If you're talking about Dalrymple, yes, there are some pretty rough spots for a non-geochemist. But just the tables of dozens of dates for the same rocks - done with four or five independent methods but still agreeing - are worth scanning through.

Re: Book on the age of the earth?
Loved the bottom review on Amazon. Pity he never listed a few links
​
Rosy Mis-Portrayal of Isotopic Dating, January 14, 2000
Reviewer: a biologist/geologist (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
Dalrymple does an excellent job of presenting isotopic dating as factual. In particular, he would have us believe that dating results converge on 4.5 billion years. In doing so, he conveniently ignores large numbers of contradictory dates, and numerous other serious problems with isotopic dating. Dalrymple's work will prove convincing only to those who have not read the relevant geologic literature for themselves and/or who are already predisposed to believing that the earth is very old.

admins -- shall we start Part III ?
seems a good point to stop this one and make a new one with the OP, close with a link to the new one so Christian can find it.

see slightly revised version in new topics (updated to all corrections made in part II with new links and info)
