So you are afraid of the establishment. When I suggested this experiment before I got the expected silly comments - now I challenge you to do the experiment and prove me wrong put your money where your mouth is! Walter Alvarez, an American geologist, working with other scientists looking for evidence that would later help to date when the dinosaurs became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous. He examined rocks of the mountains in Italy. He kept finding an unusual layer of clay that marked the boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary strata (the KT boundary). He found many marine fossils below the layer of clay, but few above. Why the reduction in marine fossils? What had caused this apparent mass extinction of many types of marine life so suddenly? And, could it be related to the extinction of dinosaurs that occurred at the same time? Alvarez wanted to know how long it took for this clay layer to be deposited, and when. He discussed this with his father, physicist Luis Alvarez, who suggested using the radioactive element called beryllium-10. Like some other substances, beryllium-10 can act as a timer because it is laid down in rocks at a constant rate. And it is found in larger doses in meteorites. The more beryllium in the clay layer, the longer it must have taken for the layer to be deposited. Then it could also be radioactively dated. Then evolutionists told them there could be no Berillium 10 found because it would be too small amount after 65 million years even with the new methods of radioactive dating. Luis then suggested trying another element which acts as a timer: iridium. Iridium is often found in meteorites also, and meteorite dust “rains down” on Earth’s surface at a slow but constant rate. Some the most famous scientists Nobel Prize winning Louis Alvarez and geologist Walter Alvarez never tried there experiment on beryllium-10. I challenge anyone out there to take a sample of beryllium-10 from the KT boundary clay and radioactively date it. I predict that you WILL get a date, and it WILL be dated as only a few thousand years old. This has already been done using Carbon 14 which is similar to beryllium-10 having a short radioactive life. The results will prove my theory or prediction. I will explain later.
