Oh, afdave admits that we are correct. That's why he doesn't answer certain questions. Not answering questions is how afdave says "You are correct". It just hurts him too much to say the words out loud.
Well we all have to do painful things at some points in our life. This is something Dave has to do, and I'm not going to let up until he does.

I do not claim that there is a scientific conspiracy. That is other people pretending that this is my claim. I find it highly offensive that you seek to propagate this myth about me. I have asked legitimate questions about the Suigetsu study and I am awaiting the answers from the authors. I don't know if I will receive any answers, though.

It is a very important question to ask why only 85 results were plotted out of 250. Were they tested but not plotted? Were they not tested at all? Or what?

Constant Mews should have asked these questions himself before presenting this study. Because he did not, he can in no way claim that he has demonstrated anything.

Can't be any more painful than the time I passed a kidney stone that showed up on X-ray like a meteorite stuck in my tubes. If I could do that, Dave can admit he's made errors.

Okay, then. My mistake.

Wrong. He demonstrated the conscillience, and even if the Suigetsu scientists failed to answer a single one of your questions to your satisfaction, you would still have to explain why their results, however obtained, agree with all the results obtained by all the other methods.

Now, there were multiple people working on the Suigetsu study, all of whom had access to the same data, all of whom knew how to interpret it properly. If one person decided to suppress or destroy the data that did not fit whatever old earth preconceptions he might have had, then the others would have caught his error and corrected it. In order for the final results to have been deliberately suppressed, most or all of the scientists would have to have been in on it, by either spoken or unspoken agreement. That constitutes a scientific conspiracy.

However, you do not claim that a scientific conspiracy exists.

What, then, is your explanation for the conscillience?

Revisionist history? Aren't you the one who said:

You said they have agreed upon a plan to falsify their data. That's "conspiracy to defraud". You HAVE claimed there is a scientific conspiracy.

Don't worry, afdave. Any time you try to hide from the truth, I'm here to make sure it finds you!:angel:

Ahhh, he'll probably say something like, "they agree on what the end result should be, not that they should shoehorn." Rofful.

Anyway, since this post will appear at the top of a new page, let me repeat what I said in my last post so Dave doesn't skip over it "accidentally":

OK Dave, then we're right back to where we started 420 days ago, when you first started cowardly ignoring this issue.

If there wasn't an evil worldwide conspiracy to deliberately falsify all that C14 calibration data, then

Why do the multiple independent C14 cal curves cross-correlate so closely, none show a 100X carbon spike at 4700 YBP, and all show ages much older than 10,000 YBP?

Round and round and round he goes, where Davie will stop nobody knows! :Cheeky:

Fleeing Chook? Is that an Aussie-ism?

Actually, phonetically speaking, it suits Dave quite well imho . . .

Chook is an Australian colloquial term for some avians of the Gallus family.
