I still contend this brings the dating into serious contention. There also is no doubt that the understanding of preservation of natural materials is your only fall back. In this instance “science’s” current understanding of the preservation of natural materials would have to be off by almost 80 million years. Slight miscalculation don’t you think?
Ha! Not as big a miscalculation as 4.5 billion vs. 6,000 years old for the age of the Earth.
You go side with the frauds at the Discovery Institute if you want. I'll stick to modern geology.
