Where Is The Accountant?
Carbon dating is a variety of radioactive dating which is applicable only to matter which was once living and presumed to be in equilibrium with the atmosphere, taking in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis.
Plants and animals absorb carbon dioxide from the air as long as they live, taking in one c-14 atom to every million million c-12 atoms. When they die, their C-14 atoms begin to disintegrate although c-12 atoms do not. As the rate of c-14 is known and is not affected by external factors the age of the remains can be calculated.
Dating by tree rings: age of a felled tee can be calculated by counting its growth rings-one for every year of its life- which vary in width according to the weather and climate for the year. It is curious to notethe growth patterns are siimilar for individual tree species over a large area. The growth rings are compared against a master pattern to establish the felling year. Ack: How Is It Done-Reader’s Digest 1990) Various techniques have been devised by the scientists to calculate the age which could have been possible only because the Truth of Nature.

As fragile as a leaf can show its material nature that time may not erase. We may study the vegetation of some 66 million years old from fossilized leaves. The fossils are formed out of what minerals and the vegetation give to the soil. Time covers them in dust which when settled, and it is a continuous process, it is sediment and the minerals contribute its own to transform it into rocks.
Into this natural and continuous process a decomposing matter no more than a leaf leaves its impress.
Every give and take transacted in a material universe, at any point of time and place is part of Oneness: the key to mysteries of our universe.
Tailpiece: If Nature demonstrates Truth in the way matter transacts business can we not persume that every experience of life forms will also form part and parcel of the universe?
