Would Water affect the Carbon Dating Process..?

Question

say give it a slower rate of decomposition than expected. If one believed in Noah and the Flood, according to Carbon Dating the calulation of Earths History was given but the Water aspect was over looked so... would Water affect the Carbon Dating calulations.

Answer 1

NO.WATER CANNOT  REPLACE OLD CARBON WITH NEW CARBON.THE STUFF IS BASICALY CHARCOAL.

Answer 2

NO!!!  Water would not affect in any way, shape, form or fashion the rate at which carbon-14 atoms decay.

The decay rate is a characteristic of the nucleus itself.  NO external forces affect the decay rate, not temperature, pressure, other nearby elements.  Nothing.

And you need to know that carbon-14 dating is not used to date the age of the Earth.  Carbon-14 is only useful to date things which at one time were living, and goes back as far as about 50,000 years.  That's all.  The Earth is around 4.5 billion years old.   There are other methods which measure much greater spans of geologic time.

Take a look at this website to find about how the age of the Earth is determined.
