Drinking the Kool Aid...

"Drinking the Kool-Aid" is a metaphor commonly used in the United States and Canada that refers to a person or group's unquestioning belief, argument, or philosophy without critical examination. The phrase typically carries a negative connotation when applied to an individual or group. The basis of the term is a reference to the November 1978 Rev. Jim Jones Jonestown Massacre,[1][2] where members of the Peoples Temple were said to have committed suicide by drinking Flavor Aid (not actually Kool-Aid,) drink laced with cyanide.[3][4]
Some survivors of the incident object to the link between blind faith and the deaths of members of the People's Temple implied by the phrase, because some victims were murdered—forced to drink at gunpoint—rather than being convinced to commit suicide. In addition, Jim Jones had previously had many rehearsals for the event in which the drink contained no poison, which led to cult members believing the drink was harmless on the day that it did contain poison.[5]
Objections notwithstanding, the phrase is commonly used in a variety of contexts to describe blind, uncritical acceptance or following.

The "evidence" of quantum mechanics. That's why I brought it up. Half-lives, like spectral lines, are an inherent property of their nuclei. The rate of decay does not change any more over a period of a billion years than it does over a period of a million or a thousand years, or a single year.

so, your evidence is a theory that is what i was asking for evidence of?
Let me be specific....
prove your following claim with actual empirical evidence
"The rate of decay does not change any more over a period of a billion years than it does over a period of a million or a thousand years, or a single year."(emphasis mine)

Since radiocarbon dating is ineffective over timespans longer than a few thousands of years, and radiometric dating for geologic processes does not use Carbon-14 but much longer-lived isotopes, current nuclear tests won't affect future measurements at all (assuming "distant future" means >10,000 years from now).

agree with that conclusion...however, assume that radiocarbon dating is effective.....now propose a conclusion about the impact of the numerous, yes numerous, nuclear explosions that have occurred in the last decades.

That's true on the surface, but obviously false if the "flood" in question is asserted to have occurred on a single continental landmass that still existed as a single continental landmass as of ca. 2300 BCE. In that case, existing radiometric and geologic evidence utterly discounts the possibility of such a flood.

see radiometric discussion above. Geologic evidence is arguable not "utterly". Your inability to be scientifically inquisitive is showing. There are countless inconsistencies in the geologic data.

As a side note, there is good anthropological and geological evidence that the Mesopotamian region experienced periodic catastrophic flooding, including particularly devastating regional floods sometime around 3000 BCE.

and there are flood "myths" that appear in globally - there is no evidence to conclude that Mesopotamian people considered the boundaries of their "world" to be set by their immediate geography...after all it was not an island.
"As a side note", most people understand the Scriptures as not being an actual account of geologic history....are you familiar with the Scriptures and what they are about? Only those without basic spiritual discernment try to attack the validity of the Scriptures via such a novice approach...amusing, but ineffective to say the least.

I still think Sub = Belmont

yet more evidence that your "intuition" is anything but intuitive.

The fact that you use the word "proves" demonstrates profound intellectual retardation on your part. But there is plenty of evidence that the population was roughly seven million.

first "roughly"? exactly what do you mean by "roughly"? give or take 10? or ...give or take 3 million?
"roughly" speaking, you don't know what you are trying so hard to "support"...so hard to really really believe is what is "real".

Then again, since this information comes from "experts" with "advanced degrees" who "know" things about the world through "research" and "physical evidence" instead of consulting octogenarian Utahan surgeons, you should be skeptical.

you know what else is intellectually retarded?
not actually reading the links you post as "support"
of course, guys with "advanced degrees"....oo la la...i was asking for actual evidence, thank you.
also you FAIL

According to Jeffers R Holland (and as referenced by gdemetz) the continents split when the flood waters receded circa 2,300 bc.

Do you agree with Elder Holland?

Bumping to give subby the opportunity to avoid becoming the recipient of a white feather...

Subtle to him, not so much to the rest of us.

It doesn't really matter to me if you're Sub, Belmont or Joey Buttafuoco. The intellect is about the same.

I'm well aware you that wouldn't have read the links that describe how population estimates are arrived at. You don't strike me as a reader.
