Thanos' "article" does not address the processes of C14 dating nor the processes of sampling. He merely uses the outcome of the tests. Therefore, his "article" does not answer the problems raised by Ori.

This also is irrelevant to the process of sampling and C14 dating.

Evidently you also do not have time to become educated on the complexities of C14 dating.

What "faith" I have, and where it lies, has no relevance to the accuracy of the C14 results or the process of sampling that would effect the accuracy of the results. My "faith" is of no interest to the readers who may however, be interested in the process of C14 dating.

I look forward to your rebuttal on the problems raised by Ori. If you do not have the knowledge to discuss them, I trust you will use common sense and defer to those who do have the knowledge. So far, no one on this board has answered the questions in Ori's mini article.
