I agree. When I first read what the research for Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980 my jaw nearly hit the floor. Did you see that one? Apparently, the radio-isotope age-dating is not all that reliable as some of the fresh volcanic rocks were dated in a blind test at well over a million years.
Seems that one of our evo-minded geologists sets about the age dating process they must first apply some rather curious circular logic where the supposed age of the rock is indexed by the supposed age of the fossils found there and vice versa.
I had not read about the Mt. St. Helens dating fiasco, but I read about a similar one. They took a sample from one of those ancient pines, I think located in CA. By tree-ring data they knew its exact age, but then they had it carbon dated. The 5,000 yo tree was dated as being between 100,000 & a million years old. Don’t hear much about that little experiment either, do you?
