You can't date an item directly. You will be dating the clay, not when the figurine was made.

What, you can't find one done by your people in the last 60 years? Oh, what a surprise. Do you even understand where your information is coming from? Can you tell us what university actually did the review, or the time testing of the figurines? Can you tell us what scientists actually did the study? Or do you believe that we can assume they are fakes based on faith?LOL
You have already been told.

You accept radiometric dating for clay figurines of dinosaurs, but reject it for everything else that states the Earth is older than 6000 years old?

And allow me to add the following. Skeptic information is mostly categorized under "Acámbaro figures"

You can date a fired ceramic directly. And that is by Thermoluminescent testing. The El Toro figurines are made of both fired ceramics, and stone. So it is not just clay. And the stone figurines, show all the evidence of weathered erosion. Do you really believe someone took the time to try and fake erosion?

My sources state otherwise. Did you even read them?

CH710.2: Acambaro dinosaur figurines
Figurines were found new. The figurines were entirely intact. The figurines were found in suspicious conditions, etc.

Exactly....That is the only flavor the sites you favor have.... Pure unadulterated BS. How many times do you have to be shown that they have been tested, proven to be fakes. It seems they are no longer available for independent testing, even if there was an interest...I doubt that very many unbiased scientists are interested in wasting time and money on proven hoaxes.

Can you tell me how all this BS relates to the topic?

Without bothering to read this whole thread through before responding,does anyone who denies that evolution is provable and still ongoing ever wonder why antibiotics quit working on some bacteria and why we now have superbugs?

How about some of the evolution deniers investigate this and get back with the rest of us on why medical scientists are worried about this?

Or to simplify,WHY do antibiotics that worked 50 years ago no longer work as effective?Any clues at all?

You guys seem to be getting North America, and the USA confused. There are not six and a half million Jews living in the United States. There are six and a half million Jews living in North America. I am speaking of a single country, not a continent. And as of 2006 the number of Jewish people living in Israel for the first time surpassed the number of Jews that would be found living in the United States. And future projections show us that because of the younger Jewish population found in Israel, we can expect to see the vast majority of Jewish people living in Israel between the years 2030 and 2040. These projections, are based on demographics, yet would agree with the Biblical timeline.

For Pete's sake, Campbell...Get back on topic, that is if you even know what it is. Tell us why you dismiss evolution in favour of ID.
