Re: Back to the basics
You're assuming the decay rate of half lives is the same.
That's a pretty good assumption: it's because every carbon-14 nucleus has six protons and eight neutrons, and because quantum mechanics works! If it didn't, nuclear power wouldn't work. Computers wouldn't either.
And you better read up on what a "half-life" is. Hint: they don't decay.

Re: Back to the basics
With the land mass all in one place at the time of the flood and then being divided as it is today what would you expect to find in your search for a global flood?
Ocean-laid sediments worldwide, all of the same Fludde age, that included human fossils or artifacts. It would, of necessity, be young enough sediment to include humans, as the Fludde was designed to wash them away.
You would also expect to find evidence of continents scooting around in Peleg's Days, say 5000 years ago or so. Evidence like, perhaps, the entire crust of the earth still being molten, and the sediments mentioned above still being lava instead of sediment.

One can imagine whole provinces being lifted up and moved intack some distance and placed over a layer.
Such power could hold in place, here and there, standing trees .
Newfoundland on top of Manitoba? You might be able to imagine that, but the rest of us here don't have access to whatever it is that you are smoking, Robert. Clarify for me, if you would, how moving water is going to pick up a slab of soil, with trees, and move it "hundreds of miles."
