Methane hydrates and the radiocarbon dating

It is estimated that the methane hydrates present at the bottom of the oceans contain twice as much carbon as all known deposits of natural gas, oil and coal. This treasure, difficult to exploit, constitutes a danger for the environment since the oxidation of methane releases carbon dioxide gas (CO2). Climatologists admit that methane released in the past has had profound effects on the climate of the planet Earth and in particular an increase of the atmosphere's temperature by about 2 degrees.

An interesting aspect is the modification of the C-14 content of the atmosphere due to the contribution of large quantities of C12 in the past, for example during the 7 cataclysms that preceded the universal flood. This effect adds to that of the massive arrival of water coming from the bowels of the earth - and therefore devoid of C-14 - during the universal flood.

The C-14 present in the atmosphere has therefore been greatly diluted by these two effects.

Today, the C-14 content of the atmosphere is not in balance. Production is estimated to be about 28% to 37% higher than the decrease. The amount of C-14 in the atmosphere therefore continues to grow.

Carbon 14 dating of archaeological finds is therefore not accurate: scientific results achieved by C-14 dating are artificially "aged" in a very important way.

For example: a C-14 age of 10,000 years corresponds to a real age of approximately 2,000 years . The basic hypothesis of the C-14 dating method is therefore strongly distorted and the C-14 ages, even correct, have little scientific value.

This effect also limits the maximum age of the earth to less than 12,500 years.
