Lake Suigetsu - Where no YEC Dares Swim

Every year we can observe algal blooms in Japan’s Lake Suigetsu that subsequently die and sink to the bottom of the lake forming a white layer. If you dig down deep enough into the lake bed you’ll run into thousands of these layers, in fact you’ll run into 100,000+ of them that look like this:

In these layers we find bits and pieces of organic material one would expect to find at the bottome of a lake which can be dated using carbon-14 dating.  If carbon dating is as error-prone as some claim there’s no reason for us to see any correlation at all, much less a close correlation with counting the number of algal blooms. . .but that’s exactly what we see:

The radiocarbon dates match up very closely with the varve layers, in other words we reach basically the same dates using two different methods. One of these methods relies on counting annual algal blooms, one relies on radioactive decay. I have never seen any real response to these kinds of correlations, neither have any young earth proponents ever been able to explain why this appears the way it does. And things only go downhill from here, because if we take this data and compare it to samples from around the world the correlations remain consistent.
