They didn’t come up with the 4.5 billion age estimate from radiometric dating techniques.
I left out an important word
radiometric dating techniques ALONE.
Then the USGS lied to me.
What is this secret method they used, and blamed on radiometrics?
No, actually you’re right! they pulled it out of thin air. Then proceeded to “look” for ways to support it.
They pick the “results” they want from many samples.
None of the radiometric methods “check” themselves nor cross checked with other isotropic samples.
