Radiometric dating is fine by me.
As for Behe, Denton, and Dembski, I have only seen summaries of their work. I plan to read some of their books in the future. My guess is that I'd be willing to stand with them on the old Earth and common descent but I want to see exactly what they wrote before I take a stand. Do I believe the Earth is less than 10,000 years old? No, I do not. Do I believe everything came about completely at random? No, I do not.

No biologist believes things come about completely at random. Natural selection is not random, and it is a physical cause.
There is a difference between complexity and randomness, although both result in unpredictability. Weather, climate and evolution are deterministic systems, but are not predictable in detail.
