What is Carbon-14 Dating? Part 1 In this first of two sessions on carbon-14, Mike answers 3 important questions: • What is carbon-14? • Where does carbon-14 come from? • How can carbon-14 be used to determine age? Mike concludes by presenting powerful, observational evidence why carbon-14 demonstrates the earth is young and not billions of years old. As Christians we are called to guard the truth against all false teachings (1 Timothy 6:20). The evolutionists’ teaching of billions of years is a false teaching and we should not compromise God’s Word to be like the world.
