Sounds like the Shroud of Turin gets a new lease on life. Carbon 14 was their "proof" that the shroud couldn't be Jesus' burial cloth. Those infalliable, God-less scientists may be forced to reconcile that Jesus himself was real afterall. I look forward to progress in this area of science.
Yes you're right! I've seen the light! The earth is 6,000 years old! It was created in six literal days! How do I know this? Advanced science? No, a bronze age fairy tale book told me so! Talk about progress in science.
The article states that it 'seems' to influence radioactive decay, and that they still need to thoroughly test things. Your thread title states that carbon-14 dating is completely wrong. Super misleading to say the least.
and of course this post gets ignored because sensationalistic headlines are way more important
this is why we have fallen so far behind in math and science
In spite of being located no less than 93 million miles away from Earth, the Sun appears to be influencing the decay of radioactive elements inside research labs on the planet.
The conclusion belongs to a new investigation, which was carried out by experts at the Purdue University and the Stanford University.
Think of all the things that have been carbon-14 dated and may be way wrong.
Conclusion?
The article ends stating “It's an effect that no one yet understands”

The beauty of science is that it is doesn't claim to know it all.
The first principle of scientific inquiry is that "All knowledge is tentative, based on further observation."
Anyone acquainted with science would know that. It is only people who deal in absolutes who show themselves at the end of the day to be complete fools.
Just a thought: I find it interesting that someone would start a thread then never post any replies to anything said on their own thread. If I was interested in discussing an issue enough to post a thread here I would at least take part in the discussion, wouldn't you? I think that I need to re-read the TOS but the following comes to mind. Troll (Internet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
