I will challenge you here to prove that you are a scientist who understands any scientific dating method beyond carbon 14

Whats so hard to understand? Other radioisotope methods are just with elements having longer half lives. Then there's isotope ratios, which assume a relatively constant rate of formation in the atmosphere (from things like solar and cosmic radiation) which is cut off at deposition (burial) or creation (like a shells formation)...

Never said I did not understand, and you know it. You ignore my assertion that it's you (your way of thought) that does not understand (or more correctly, WILLS itself not to understand). Understanding is not the problem. Believing is. Your way of thought refuses to believe that there is any other way of thinking. I have already been through thinking the way you do; I was in sixth grade at the time. This is a fact. If it ends up feeling like an insult, I am sorry, but maybe you are too proud.
