Neutrinos make C14 in coal. How am I to believe that carbon atoms in
coal are different than other carbon atoms? I don't.

Um, coal-brain, neutrinos don't make 14C atoms anywhere, and the
particles that_do_ make 14C atoms don't make ''em out of other carbon
atoms.

14N captures neutrons to become 14C.

Umm...electrons, sir. If it captured neutrons it would be 15N.


The rate depends on the neutron
flux and the concentration of 14N.

Wotta maroon,

Well, that much is true. But notice that this "response" had nothing to
do with the post it was responding to, and nothing to do with the paper
he had previously cited (which itself had nothing to do with 14C, or
coal, or anything relevant to the thread). He's either a very stupid
creationist or a Loki troll.


LOL
Don't you get a charge out of these trolls who yap like they know
something and pontificate while using terminology which makes it clear
that they are blowing smoke out their ass?

Not really. Mostly you just annoy me.
