Neither is it scientific to ignore some of the evidence nor to downplay major problems and assumptions made w/ long-age dating techniques.

No serious scientist does those things.
I'll say again, there are dozens of scientific methods, radiometric and otherwise, for dating ancient materials.
Sure, each method has its limitations, and pitfalls which must be carefully watched for.

But when multiple methods point toward the same conclusions, that is considered strong scientific evidence.

Problems in dating do not necessarily mean dating is impossible, or that all dates before 10,000 BC are in error.
