If the assumptions are so absurd how come radiometric dating is such an accurate tool? If scientists want to go looking for a particular type of fossil, they look in rocks that have been dated to the period that specific type of creature lived because that’s where they are.

T Rex fossils are found in rocks dated to the Cretaceous period and not in any others. I often wonder if Creationists when they decide to go fossil hunting just pick up their tools and start digging randomly because that’s what the logic of their position on rock dating leads to.

How come its claimed to be such an accurate tool when it cannot be falsified and is based on absurd assumptions?
