No Comments A Little Diamond Detail – Did You Know?
The saying goes “Diamonds last forever.” Well, they are one of the hardest substances on the planet. Because of that, nothing can get inside of a diamond and mess it up because it is so hard and complete. Science had also long thought that diamonds that form naturally were 1-2 billion years old.
It was believed that it took a long time for nature to add heat to a diamond to make it so clear. To quote a valid source with video located here:
“Diamonds are made of carbon that crystallized under conditions of extreme temperature and pressure. They were formed millions of years ago in molten rock within the Earth at depths greater than 160 km.”
Yet another website puts it even older:
“Diamonds are beautiful, mysterious and rare. They survive an incredible journey to reach us, a journey that may have begun as long as 3.3 billion years ago. They are created when carbon is put under immense pressure and temperature deep within the earth—at distances of 250 miles or even greater.”
Okay, lots of details here but I’ll do my best to summarize all of that. Carbon (like coal) was pressure cooked into a diamond. Think of the 5th season Smallville episode when Clark proposed to Lana in the episode where his father died. He took a lump of coal, super squeezed it and used his heat vision. Except in nature, Clark Kent isn’t available and it is done deep in the earth under all of those rock layers with fossils and such in them.
With all of those fossils that are “65 million years old,” it just has to be billions of years old right? Dinosaurs lived a really long time ago correct?
Wrong.
All of those dates are guesses or opinions. History only goes back 5000 years or so. That means the millions and billions of years are unproven. They also do not hold up to scientific tests.
We have all heard of radioactive carbon dating tests. Then we listen to whatever number they come up with. However, digging deep into the topic shows that all of those test result dates require them to use a lot of guesses in their math. Math isn’t my best subject but I know I wouldn’t want anyone guessing on my paycheck much less trying to say something is x years old or guessing at other numbers. What is good about the radioactive carbon test is that is has a relatively small range in which it can detect radioactive carbon. The top end, depending on what you read, is between 30,000 to 90,000 years old.
If the above two websites are correct, there is absolutely no way naturally formed diamonds could have any radioactive carbon in them at all. 1 billion years is far larger than 90,000 years.
Test results say otherwise. They did find radioactive carbon in the diamonds. Here is the entire report.
What does all that mean? It means the diamonds are less than 90,000 years old at the high end. It also means all those fossils and dinosaurs are less than 90,000 years old too. Oldest layers are the deepest. Everything above it must be younger.
Dinosaurs were here not that long ago. Thank you diamonds for such “rock hard, solid” evidence.
Thank you,
