I am trying to fathom out whether the Bible is inspired or not?
Daniel 9:25 talks of the time when the messiah was expected to appear. Were the jews expecting this? The reason that I am asking is that I am reading a book that states that the Jews were looking for a messiah that would lead them against the Romans. Many men tried to be this person. So using this reasoning, could not the OT be a book that should be taken seriously?

c-14 made simple .
i am reading with amazement the comments about c-14 dating.
thankfully, larc brought my older posts on this back to the top.
I printed off your reply Amazing and found it very informative and answered a lot of my questions. However I have a few more to ask you:
1. What about the claim that Coal still has C14 in it when it is supposed to be 000s of years old?
2. The shroud of turin C14 was meant to be highly out? (I have not done any research on this one but it was an arguement used by a Christian friend)
3. What about the mouse head that I mentioned in my other posts that measured different readings on different parts of its skull?
If poss can you e mail me?

the thesis said:.
carbon dating in many cases seriously embarrasses evolutionists by giving ages that are much younger than those expected from their model of early history.
a specimen older than 50,000 years should have too little 14c to measure.. laboratories that measure 14c would like a source of organic material with zero 14c to use as a blank to check that their lab procedures do not add 14c.
But what I have read says that c14 can not be detected aftre 1000 years no matter what it is and no matter how big it is?
BTW thanks everyone for their comments.

go to the page and have a look
i have been doing some research on c14 dating.
i thought the "simplest" way to check it out would be to read a thesis on why it is "wrong" and then research these arguements and see if they are wanting.the thesis is at http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c007.html.
i will post the different points and hopefully we can get a few good threads going.. 1. the thesis makes the point that because the flood occured, the carbon in different materials would be as it is now.
I agree But I am appoaching this from this angle: i have to prove to myself one way or the other about the validity of C14 dating. Neanderthals existed,we have proof. But the creationalists say that they were a race that were at the tower of Babel and therefore are not the age that C14 says as C14 is unreliable.Now I have to proof to myself that that this is or is not the case. Why? Well I want to believe the Bible as I can not see how evolution could have taken place (although this is a subject that I have noot researched properly yet)But I can not believe the Bible if it contradicts what we have here and now.I am very opened minded and want to see both sides of the story before I make a decision. As I have said before....NO ONE is going to pull the wool over my eyes again!

"the moon is slowly receding for the earth at about 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) per year, and this rate would have been greater in the past.
but even if the moon had started receding from being in contact with the earth, it would have taken only 1.37 billion years to reach its present distance from the earth.
this gives a maximum age of the moon, not the actual age.

But even if the moon had started receding from being in contact with the earth, it would have taken only 1.37 billion years to reach its present distance from the earth. This gives a maximum age of the moon, not the actual age. This is far too young for evolutionists who claim the moon is 4.6 billion years old. It is also much younger than the radiometric "dates" assigned to moon rocks"

the earth's magnetic field has been decaying so fast that it looks like it is less than 10,000 years old.
rapid reversals during the flood year and fluctuations shortly after would have caused the field energy to drop even faster.[29].

Radioactive decay releases helium into the atmosphere, but not much is escaping. The total amount in the atmosphere is 1/2000th of that expected if the universe is really billions of years old. This helium originally escaped from rocks. This happens quite fast, yet so much helium is still in some rocks that it has not had time to escape -- certainly not billions of years.[30]
