A deep dive into dating methods, dinosaurs, and Deep Time with paleontologist, Michael Hudgins!

Michael is a systematics and evolution masters student studying palaeontology at the University of Alberta, Canada and his main research centers on late Cretaceous primitive bird-hipped dinosaurs known as Thescelosaurs, and the prehistoric creatures of the Triassic period. 

Last interview, Mike explored the origin of dinosaurs but today he dives deep into the age of the earth and everything on it and how we can know for certain how old everything really is.

What about radiometric dating? Is it reliable for dating fossils? How about the age of the moon? And what does Mike say to those people who claim they have found evidence of a young earth?
