What methods are used by evolutionists to date an archeological find? And do these methods actually support evolution?

Radiocarbon dating is a commonly used method to determine the age of archaeological finds. The process, sometimes referred to as "radiocarbon reading," involves measuring carbon decay.

Radiocarbon dating is basically this: a radioactive isotope of carbon, C-14, is formed in the atmosphere by cosmic rays. As a result, all living organisms absorb an equilibrium concentration of radioactive carbon. When organisms die, C-14 decays and is not replaced. Since we know the concentration of radioactive carbon the organism had when it was alive, and we also know that it takes about 5,600 years for half of that C-14 to decay, and another 5,600 years for half of what's left to decay, and so on, by measuring the remaining concentration of radiocarbon we can tell how long ago an organism died.

One obvious flaw in this technique is that we don't really know the level of radiocarbon concentration acquired by an organism which lived before such recorded history. Scientists make a bold assumption that the atmospheric concentration of the radioactive material -- carbon or any other element -- being measured has not changed since the organism's death. In addition, scientists make the assumption that the element's rate of decay has not changed since that time. Are these valid assumptions?

After everything scientists have told us, how can they make such assumptions? On one hand, we're being told that the universe has undergone drastic changes since its formation. One moment before the big bang, the universe was nothing like one moment after the big bang. Gas clouds in space have condensed and turned into stars and planets. Moons have formed around some planets. Some planets have undergone evolutionary changes even after formation. Some stars have collapsed into neutron stars, others into black holes. Our universe has seen more changes in those past alleged ten billion years than the fitting room of a busy tailor.

Now, on the other hand, we're being told, in effect, "Sure everything changed, but not radioactive bombardment and its rate of decay -- they have remained at the same level for billions of years." It's almost as if nature knew that some day archaeologists would have to find fossils which appear to be billions of years old to stay in business.

How does one explain the notion that everything in the universe has undergone drastic changes for billions of years except earth's radioactive bombardment levels and rate of decay, which happen to be crucial and integral parts of any attempt to substantiate evolution? "Nature" owed Charles Darwin a favor?

PROVEN TO FLUCTUATE

The fact is, radiocarbon concentrations have been proven to fluctuate. One of the oldest known living things on earth today is Methuselah, a bristlecone pine tree in California estimated to be about 4,600 years old. Another bristlecone pine believed to be older than Methuselah was cut down for scientific research. Comparing radiocarbon readings with the natural time clock of the tree's year by year rings, showed the radiocarbon dating system to be inaccurate. This inaccuracy showed up in a time period which, by astronomical standards, was only yesterday. Simply extrapolating this known range of inaccuracy over billions of years will show radiocarbon reading to be far less reliable than what scientists would like to believe. Then, taking into consideration that radiocarbon inconsistencies have shown up in such a relatively short period of time, who's to say that the rate of today's radioactive bombardment is not totally out of whack with what it was billions, millions, or even thousands of years ago.

Consequently, a fossil which an archeologist finds to be billions of years old by radioactive dating may in fact be no more than several thousand years old. What's more, an organism could conceivably seem to be, by today's assumptions of yesteryear's radioactive bombardment levels and rate of decay, thousands or even millions of years old only days or months after its death.

ANOTHER DATING SYSTEM

There is another scientific dating system besides the radioactive method. This one analyzes the structural changes in a body's amino acids after death. The same human fossils were analyzed using this method and also using the radioactive method. The two dating systems showed discrepancies between 39,000 and 59,000 years. The proponents of each of the two dating methods argued that the other one was wrong. Obviously, one of these "scientific" methods must be wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt. And the other one? The other one doesn't exactly sound right beyond a reasonable doubt.

So, to find out how long ago an organism died, you might be better off using an old and far more reliable dating method -- a seance in which you conjure up an organism's spirit and simply request the precise date of demise. This may not sound terribly scientific, but you meet some very interesting (living) people at seances.

BRITTLE BONES AND FUZZY FOSSILS

Materials dated in support of evolution quite often turn out to be a bigger farce than the dating methods themselves. Bone and fossil records maintained by paleontologists contain so many gaps and discrepancies that they suggest a history of evolution in much the same way that a worm's cell suggests the early stages of a train window, suggesting that trains evolved from worms?

The only way bones and fossils could be taken seriously is if profuse quantities of intermediate species linking various species in an evolutionary chain were found. That is, not just many members of one intermediate species -- that would only indicate that a species existed which was similar to two other species. And not just isolated members of several intermediate species -- that would only indicate that some species occasionally produced deformed members. But many intermediate species and many of their members, showing an unmistakable transformation of one species into another. (And, as shown in the chapter of "Genetics" at EvolutionDead.com, you'd also have to find an enormous amount of diseased and deformed bones and/or fossils to show that random mutation was at work. Without this, there's nothing random evolution.)

As it stands, however, not only are there no profuse quantities of many intermediate species, but there are no profuse quantities of even one intermediate species. What archaeologists have are the kinds of isolated samples of bones and fossils which must be interpreted and "given meaning;" the findings by no means speak for themselves.

The "scientific" method of interpreting bones and fossils appears to be somewhat similar to interpreting the ink blots of psychologists, in the sense that what you see depends a great deal on who you are and the particular inclination of your imaginative faculties. Along these lines, if you discovered a thin string buried together with some old chicken bones, for example, you could, if you tried hard enough, interpret it to mean that prehistoric chickens had teeth because they obviously used dental floss. The fact that no teeth were found would only mean that a "minor" missing link still remained to be found in this otherwise solid theory.

What the "science" of interpreting bones and fossils pretty much boils down to is a game in which any interpretation is correct as long as it cannot be disproven. Proving the interpretation doesn't seem to be part of the game. And for very good reason. The interpretation cannot be proven for the same reason that it cannot be disproven -- bone and fossil records are grossly deficient of cold, hard facts.

COMMON TRAITS

The above two topics -- dating methods and archaeological records -- have one thing in common: as they stand, neither one proves or disproves the theory of evolution. And, as limited as these branches of science seem to be in their ability to uncover strong leads in reconstructing past events, I find it unlikely that either one will change drastically as relates to evolution in the foreseeable future.

Ironically, when it comes to trying to substantiate evolution, it is archaeological discoveries which evolutionists harp on the most. Perhaps they do this for the same reason that I cover it only briefly in my book at EvolutionDead.com -- because it leads nowhere, pro or con. And if you're trying to avoid being disproven, what safer ground is there to tread upon?

Furthermore, even if profuse quantities of many intermediate species did exist, which of course they do not, they still could not stand up in face of the case built against evolution in the chapters on genetics and space exploration (EvolutionDead.com). The genetic impossibility of evolution and the fact that there is no extraterrestrial life would necessitate another interpretation of such archaeological findings. Such findings could by no means prove that evolution is genetically possible, when modern science shows it is not. And such findings could not suggest that there must be life elsewhere in space, when space exploration shows there is none. i.e. Even if such archaeological discoveries did exist, they still would not come close to being a "formidable opponent" of the cases made against evolution by genetics and space exploration. Needless to say, as far as present archaeological findings go, with regards to evolution, they couldn't be worse off if they were still buried deep in the ground.

Diabetes is one of the most prevailing diseases through which a large number of people are suffering. The main cause of this disease is increased level of glucose in the blood. Insulin hormone produced by the pancreas is responsible for the breakdown of glucose in the blood and its conversion into energy which is then used by the body. Insufficient production of insulin hormone glucose level in the blood rises results into Diabetes.

When the glucose level in the blood increases, complications start taking place. The complications are of the two types:

• The first one being, direct, as energy cannot be produced by the sugars, the body is starved of energy and this leads to weakness and dizziness.
• The second problem is an inter-related problem. Here as and when the sugar level in the blood increases other systems of the body start to malfunction. It mainly affects the kidneys, and then comes the nerves of the eyes leading to blurred vision. The toughest condition is when the heart is affected. Plaque starts building up along the walls of the arteries and lining layer and this could lead to stroke or other heart related problems at any time.

Diabetes is most commonly found in people with overweight. There is not one cause of Diabetes. There are several factors which results in Diabetes. Today it has covered even children also. Diabetes is neither an infectious nor a hereditary problem. It has been found in research that women are more prone to Diabetes.

Many precautions are available in the market to keep Diabetes in control like sugar free alternate for sugar, low calorie sugar supplements, Diabetes checker, etc.

Check Blood Glucose Level :

• When the sugar level is between 65 and 140 for every deciliter of blood checked, it is considered that the person is normal.
• A person suffering from diabetes normally has a blood sugar level of 250 to 350 for every deciliter of blood.
• A person with blood sugar level of 350 and above is considered that the person is having extremely high blood sugar levels

Diabetes Test at Home:

One can suffer from one or combination of two or more symptoms. Some of very common symptoms of Diabetes are excessive urination, excessive thirst, and infections like rashes / thrushes, sudden loss of weight, extreme hunger, extreme fatigue, and feeling of nausea, irritability, vomiting, sweet smelling breath, dizziness and blurred vision

Tips to keep Diabetes in control:

• Make your Diabetes meal plan
• Use Low Calorie sugar free supplements
• Eat food that have less fat and salt
• Eat foods containing more of fiber like breads, polished rice, pasta
• Avoid Smoking, Drugs and Alcohol
• Brush and Floss your teeth daily
• Eat healthy food and avoid food with more calories like fried food, junk food, sweets
• Live stress free life
• Exercise Daily
• Control your weight
• Check for your blood glucose level regularly
• Consult Doctor if you find any symptoms for diabetes
• Report any changes in your eyesight to the doctor

One of the most important Sales Techniques I learned in marketing and building a business is the power of relationship building. When I put my energy into getting to know my clients personally their likes and dislikes, what their interests and passions are, that takes the business relationship to a deeper level. Its called you are my friend. People want to do business with people they like.

Amazingly enough decision makers will choose the people they feel they can trust and they like before choosing a company that has been in business for a hundred years or has double the employees. My direct experience has shown me time and time again, get to know your client. Bond with your client and you have a client for life.

The way I build relationships is by coming from a place of true curiosity about the person and who they are, what makes them tick.

That genuine interest is what starts the ball rolling. When I start the conversation with any potential new client it will have something to do with getting to know them and finding out what we have in common. If you ask someone enough questions you find out pretty quickly what you both have mutual interests in. Once you discover that, youre set.

Most people really love when they meet someone else who shares one of their passions. They light up when they know they can talk all about what they love with someone who not only understands but wants to talk about that subject as well.

What you have in common can be anything really. You both love old movies. You both love to jog. You both have children about the same age. You both were married once and now divorced. Believe me if you play twenty questions with your client you will most likely find more then one thing you have in common.

Sales Technique #2Dont sale

You may be thinking what kind of a sales technique is that? That is the point, be honest and real, come form a place of service, and you will see people naturally attracted to that honesty and service and want to do business with you. When you start out trying to sell someone something they immediately get their defenses up.

The reason for this is because there is too much You need to do thisand for only $19.95 you get all that. Its called a pitch. I have never pitched a person in my life. Or if I have its been such a long time ago I dont remember. :)

If my potential client tells me I am a great sales person then I know I am Selling too much. At that point I have to stop and listento my client. One of the biggest mistakes sales people make is they are talking too much and they miss the queue. Your customer just told what they need from you to close the deal but you didnt hear it.

My sales numbers have always been award winningly high. With that type of consistency and recognition other managers naturally wanted me to train and implement my winning sales techniques for their company or office. They want to know what my secret sales techniques are.

I would get requests from within the company where I was a Regional Manager to take sales people out in the field from other regions. Everyone in my nation wide company wanted to know how my personal sales numbers and my offices numbers were always so high.

I agreed many times to take out sales people from other regions to help them increase their profits. One of the first things I would tell a sales person that is coming along to observe my sales technique, "I don't have a canned presentation, when I meet with a client it is not going to look like Im doing a presentation. It is going to look like Im having fun and just talking and gathering information with my friend, even if I just met them.

Have Fun

The reason for that is its exactly what I am doing. I love people and I love helping people. When I go to see a client I look at it as a social event that is fun and therefore the client has fun. They cant wait until I show up. Most people say I brighten up the office. Of course I stay professional, but very real!

How many referrals do you think I get? A LOT why? People like me and they know I like them. People trust me. I am genuinely interested in meeting their needs. I am not pushing some over rehearsed sales pitch on them, I am talking to them and asking questions, lots of questions. I am investigating, which is very important.

Try it next time you go to meet a potential client, just bond. Pretend you are a reporter and your job is to find out your clients likes and dislikes. To find out what they respond to and what they dont. And while youre doing that you make it fun for both of you. It should be easy and relaxed as if youre talking to a friend.

Understanding What Your Client Wants to Hear

Once you know what they like and what they dont what is important to them and what isnt, when its your turn to talk you will have gathered enough information that you know exactly what your client wants to here and that is your presentation, which is why a canned pitch will never work. What you say to the client has everything thing to do with what you just found out.

If they tell you the most important thing to them is what you will do if something goes wrong with your service and additional costs that may come up over time.

Your presentation should start by addressing those two topics. Letting them know you have a plan in place if something should happen. Explaining how or if your service requires them to spend more money down the line and how that cost will pay for itself. If so tell them the benefit of this, never apologize for it. If you are offering additional services that are of value present them that way.

They only care about XYZ there is no reason to tell them all about ABC for twenty minutes. By the time you get to XYZ they wont be interested. You lost them at ABC.

Nothing can occur in your life experience without your invitation of it through your thoughts
