Radiometric Dating is not reliable

Thank you once again to "talk origins" for responding… 1. it is ASSumed that we can know the initial conditions when the rock or mineral formed. 2. it is ASSumed that the rock or mineral remained closed to loss or gain of the parent and/or daughter isotopes since crystallization. 3. The rate of decay of the parent isotope is known accurately, and has not changed during the existence of the rock or mineral since it crystallized. - many cases have been documented of recent historic lava flows which yielded grossly incorrect K-Ar ages because of "excess argon." - "If a dating method does not match the "expected" age then it is assumed to be in error and they continue to retest the sample until they get the data they wanted. Scientists do this with all "independent" dating methods, but it is all based on their uniformitarian presupposition, which creates a bias in their interpretation of the data. In reality, none of these dating methods are independent, because they are all dependent on uniformitarianism." http://www.debate.org... "In A. A. Snelling's book Earth's Catastrophic Past he lays out in a scholarly manner MORE than a hand full of examples. The reason he can't report them in conventional peer-reviewed journals is because they won't let him. It has nothing to do with his data being weak, but has everything to do with the current bias in the scientific community." http://www.debate.org... "Why is there substantial C-14 in coal beds and diamonds that should be C-14 dead, and how can we know rock samples are not contaminated from excess Ar?" http://www.debate.org... "The current 3.5% salinity is too low if the earth is 4.6 Ga years old (http://www.icr.org......). Also, the avg height reduction for all continents due to erosion is 2.4 in/thousand years, which means North America would be eroded flat to sea level in 10 million years (Journal of Geophysical Research, 69:3395-3401). How can the earth be 4.6 Ga? In addition, the rate of the earth's magnetic field decay has been measured at 5% per century (ESSA Technical Report, IER 46-IES1). Putting the starting strength where it wouldn't melt the earth it could only be decaying for 10000 years. How can the earth be 4.6 Ga? Of course, this is based on uniformitarian assumptions, but scientists can't reject the philosophy now! This list is not exhaustive." http://www.debate.org... If someone believes it is 3:15 and they only look at watches that affirm it, but ignore the pile of watches in the corner that disagree, their accuracy % is skewed. http://www.debate.org... Thus: not only radiometric dating is un-reliable. So are the scientists who do the experiments because they suffer from extreme bias towards a certain age of things and ignore or discard uncooperative data. common sense dictates that it is unreliable to base conclusions on assumptions. CONCLUSION: 1. assumptions are unreliable. 2. radiometric dating is based on several false assumptions. 3. Thus it logically and necessarily follows that RADIOMETRIC DATING IS UNRELIABLE. OR 1. biased scientists with strong preconceived notions of what is acceptable dates are unreliable. 2. radiometric dating is carried out by scientists with strong preconceived notions of what is acceptable dates. 3. Thus it logically and necessarily follows that RADIOMETRIC DATING IS UNRELIABLE. Also we can add to all this the view point that a powerful, supernatural, evil force wishes to deceive the humans into accepting an old age of the earth in an attempt to discredit the books of Moses which tell of the coming messiah Jesus Christ. - is fluoride in the water to prevent cavities? - did terrorists hiding in caves take down the 3 towers on 9/11 including a 50 story building (building 7) that was not hit by a plane? and their passports flew out of the jets and landed on the ground? - do we need to power our cars on gasoline? or is there a better alternative? - does the government always have your best interest at heart? - are you really a cowboy if you smoke marlboro? You better start examining what you have been told, not only about the age of the earth but many many other things as well. This is only a teeny tiny fraction of the larger deceptions in our world that are happening right now.
