DATING USING ICE CORES

In the past I have been challenged about the young earth age by reports of talks by scientists who date using ice cores in the arctic and antarctic. The http://creationrevolution.com/the-lost-squadron-2/ site recently posted the story of the Lost Squadron. I shared it on my Facebook page. This is the story of a flight of two B-17s and four P-58s that had to crash land in Greenland during WWII. The pilots were rescued but the planes were left. In 1980 an aircraft dealer had the idea to recover them. He thought he could sweep the snow off, fuel them and fly them away. What he found was that the planes were buried deep in the snow and the glacier had moved them three miles from where they started.
I didn't read that anyone drilled a core and tried to date the layers to the time they knew had passed in this event. But it is obvious that ice depths are recent events and the ice that has formed since Noah's Flood could be what we see today. The dating methods need to be challenged when they say that they represent millions of years when only a few have really gone by.

SLOW GOING ON C14

We have just returned from a trip to Olathe, KS to celebrate my step-son's birthday. We flew up on Friday the 13th and returned today on AA. When we landed at KC on the 13th we were held on board until police officers boarded and removed a woman passenger. As we walked by there were several police and firemen in the passageway. Never could find out what that was all about.
I am still working on C14 trying to look at the data and having problems with the format to download the data. I have requested help from ICR and am waiting for answers. The NASA site has peculiar formats for their data that I haven't seen before.
