How We Know the Ages of Things
from Mark and Toddcast · host Mark and Toddcast
One of the push-backs we often hear from critics of evolution is how unreliable the method of Carbon-14 Dating is. Which is correct. Sort of. But Carbon-14 Dating is far from the only method we use to figure out how old the earth and galaxy around us is, and this week we explore the many different ways we can understand, test, and know the relative age of what's around us. Plus, the most decorated military dog in history, you may die of dysentery, Montana wants to ban vaccines, Trump's meme coin quasi-rug pull, obligatory Elon Musk news, and Utah bans fluoride. What a time to be alive.
