Cause Of Large Post-Flood Jump In Earth's Carbon 14, D Russell Humphreys Dec 2023

Cause Of Large Post-Flood Jump In Earth's Carbon 14, D Russell Humphreys

Accelerated fusion in the Sun during the flood caused large post-flood jump in Earth’s 14C

D. Russell Humphreys

Creationists studying carbon-14 dating are generally aware of the need to have a large increase in Earth’s 14C/C ratio during the post-flood Ice Age (Oard, 2021), from about 0.5% of today’s ratio in fossils (Baumgardner, 2005) to more than 95% of today’s ratio by the time of Moses, 1500 B.C. Today cosmic-ray-generated neutrons hitting 14N nuclei in the atmosphere produce most of the 14C. With today’s influx of cosmic rays, it would take about 14,000 years to build …


A Rapid Ice Age And Transition To Ice Sheet Growth, Steven M. Gollmer Dec 2023

A Rapid Ice Age And Transition To Ice Sheet Growth, Steven M. Gollmer

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

For the past half-century, creationists have explored different explanations for glacial erosion features across the Northern Hemisphere. The best explanation to date is a single post-flood ice age with multiple surges. The challenge with this model is the limited time available between the end of the Flood and the time of Abraham, which appears to be post ice age. Oard (1979) proposed a short post-flood ice age developing due to warm oceans, volcanic aerosols, and barren surfaces. Performing computer climate simulations, Spelman (1996), Vardiman (1998), Gollmer (2013), and Gollmer (2018) verified that enhance precipitation occurs at higher latitudes due to …
