Rock is much too porous for them to have been contained for hundreds of millions of years under the pressures that we find. That pressure would have dissipated long ago.

Can you even conceive of the difference between *knowing* how old something is and 'believing' how old something is?

Yeah. If I have a radioisotope date, I know how old it is. Whereas, if you get your dates from the Bible, you believe how old they are.
