Start here: https://typewriterdatabase.com/imperial.76.typewriter-serial-number-database Try to identify your particular model from the links at the bottom of the page to see specific examples. You can look through individual galleries to find a serial number and that may allow you to find the range of serial numbers made in particular years to narrow down your year. Looks like it's a "standard" from the late 30s or 1940s, possibly an Imperial 50.

Radiometric dating operates from the wrong assumptions (that all processes remained constant during all of history, which, compared to the Bible is false and therefore foolish).

Different radiometric dating methods give vastly different aging results in a systematically wrong way; according to Dr. Kurt, this is proof that they use wrong assumptions.

( ~ 19:00 )

The primary argument as made by Dr. Kurt with reference to the Bible is that God used processes during the creation that he NEVER used again. So to assume chronological dating methods based on processes that exist now is to be foolish, as you cannot go back to creation itself and use those methods; creation used different processes that do not exist anymore.

Additionally, God created all of existence... He is above it. He can certainly manipulate it. The laws of physics do not apply to Him. He has created creatures and things in an ADULT state of being... So by using dating methods that are used to calculate the age of something you can arrive at a result much older than it is in fact, for God could've created its values in an old state even though it is in fact young.

Barbara Tuchman analogized stopping one's research to going out on a date: one should leave off a half-hour before you really want to.

One might also liken these processes to the idea of divergence and convergence as described by Tiago Forte and others.

Look up this process and evaluate the mechanism for how it works.
