In before somebody says no way can those trees be 52,000 years old as the Earth isn't that old Quoted:
There's no way this story is true. The Earth isn't 52,000 years old. Minute apart. I know, still funny. |

Quoted: 52,000 years old, part of a glacial period, water has risen 120 feet.....sounds like global warming is older than we think and not man made No. Climatologists know all about glaciation, and that "global warming" has nothing to do with it. |

Except carbon levels in the atmosphere have changed through time.
The earth could be 100,000 years old. We don't know how much carbon trees were subjected to 15,000 yeas ago, so our baseline for home much should be remaining is a good guess. |

What's an underwater ocean? |

So... How much to put 50,000 year old hardwoods in my house. Probably Bill Gates did that ! |

So, how reliable is this carbon dating anyway? Depends on the samples and their context. Usually it is very accurate. |

If they only had the U.N. 52k years ago to inact carbon taxes those trees would not be underwater. |

That's great. I'm more interested in underwater chainsaws. Are they hydraulic? Must be some mean mother fuckers to make a 7' cut. Oh, and liquid cooled too. I want one.

According to the article the forest won't last long until its devoured by sea creatures. They should harvest it.

Shits only in 60' of water, I can put together a commercial dive crew, line up some barges and have that bitch logged out quick.
So, ugh, who wants to front the cash? |

I don't know how old the earth is, but I reckon those trees have been there about 4500 years. On what do you base your learned reckoning, pray tell? The flood that buried the trees. It was about 4500 years ago. |

I'm thinking furniture! Very expensive furniture. Well watched the vid. No "trees" just stumps. Damn loggers cut all the trees and started global warming!

So, not to turn this into a debate (yes I am ), but if the wood will be gone within a few years because of marine life and being exposed, and the only thing that has preserved it is the fact that it was buried under sand and protected from the elements, life and oxygen.... what happened to it that it was so rapidly buried that it didn't have a chance to decompose?
I mean, they are saying themselves that it is a 52,000 y/o (the guy in the video said it was 12k y/o), and it is 60ft. down. Well, if you look at the rate of sea level rise as it is believed by many to have taken place, 12k years ago that forest was above water, and 22k years ago it was 70' above sea level, when the most recent ice age was happening. Additionally, they allegedly survived several cycles of being under water and then back above sea-level over the coarse of these thousands of years, all the while being protected from oxygen and decomposition. Wood that is buried under earth or sand, but above water is subject to decomposition. The only trees that people find on dry land that is preserved and not decomposed, is petrified wood, and this is not petrified wood, nor could it ever have been (two very difference things). Either those trees were buried over a period of thousands of years (in which case they would have decomposed long before they were preserved) and survived intact despite impossible odds and circumstances, or they were preserved in a catastrophic event that buried them near-instantaneously and they have remained buried and submerged since then. Hmmm... something doesn't add up. |

Who knew religion would even be mentioned in a underwater forest thread. Oh yeah, GD. Duh.

I'll say it, there's nothing wrong with them finding what they found but their atheistic interpretation applied to the evidence is wrong. It would be funny if this is rather evidence of the unpredictability of carbon dating, but not being a scientist that's for greater mind than me to consider. The Word of God gives me a geneology back to Adam from the Christ. God's Word is very clear and literal in Genesis about how God made everything in 6 days and it was evening and it was morning etc etc. I'm sorry you can't fit tens of thousands and millions and billions into it. If you don't believe in Genesis as it is written and understood literally by both Jesus who is God, and the Apostles, you have no foundation for the rest of biblical history and theology. All of a sudden there was no fall, death came long before Adam sinned, who was Adam, where did marriage come from, why do we need a savior, why is God's description and order so wrong? I personnaly trust the man who rose from the dead and affirmed himself to be God, and those men like Moses, king David, and Paul, over some atheist scientists who've already rejected truth. I don't expect any atheist millions/billions of years guys to agree with what I'm saying but you Christians need to face the fact that evolution, intelligent design, big bang, multiverse, steady-state, billions of years, 52,000 year old undersea forest theories are unbridgeable contradictions and thinly veiled attacks on the trustworthyness and historicity of Scripture. I know some of you guys were hoping for a post like this so I had to ablige you.

As an aside, my Dad had to shoot his first gator as little kid when the guys rebuilding Old Ironsides were pulling ancient live oak logs out of the family wood bogs in Pensacola Apparently that shit stank very much bad when they hit it with a high speed saw blade. |
