Smithsonian: Fossil Dating Nonsense

30X2 VIDEO: Today I have a true story: Mungo Woman is a fossil discovered in Australia. At first the bones were carbon dated at 19,000 years old... then soft tissue from the fossil was carbon dated to be 24,700 years old. Shouldn't they be the same age?

Then a charcoal layer above the fossil was carbon dated to be 26,500 years old. The fossil dates had to be wrong and the age was set at 26,500 years.

But in 1998 sand from the sediment layer the fossil was in was luminescent dated at 42,000 years old. The carbon dates all had to be wrong, and the fossil was now declared to be 42,000 years old.

In 1999 testing using different methods, gave a an age of 62,000 years.

BUT WAIT... A 62,000 year old fossil in Australia would upset the accepted ideas of human evolution... it didn't match the evolutionary story... so it's age was declared to still be 42,000 years. How was the age of this fossil determined? The tests results were all over the place... the age is the age evolutionists want it to be... that's not science.
