Science with Dr. Snelling

by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on October 1, 2012; a 2 minute read Carbon-14 (or radiocarbon) is a radioactive form of carbon that scientists use to date fossils. But it decays quickly. Continue reading at answersingenesis.org.

by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on October 1, 2012; a 2 minute read During the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium contained in rocks, lots of helium is produced. Because helium is the second lightest element and a noble gas—meaning it does not combine with other atoms—it readily diffuses (leaks) out and eventually escapes into the atmosphere. Helium diffuses so rapidly that all the helium should have leaked out in less than 100,000 years. So why are these rocks still full of helium…

by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on October 1, 2012; a 2 minute read The earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that protects living things from solar radiation. Without it, life could not exist. That’s why scientists were surprised to discover that the field is quickly wearing down. At the current rate, the field and thus the earth could be no older than 20,000 years old.

by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on October 1, 2012; a 3 minute read In many mountainous areas, rock layers thousands of feet thick have been bent and folded without fracturing. How can that happen if they were laid down separately over hundreds of millions of years and already hardened? Continue reading at answersingenesis.org.
