Beyond aboput 9000 years- the dates are built on nothign but assumptions- carbon dating can be measured and verified with other means of known ages,

Carbon-14 dating is not used to classify the Earth as billions of years old. Try again (this time with, say, potassium/argon dating.

yet anythign beyond known ages is nothign but assumptions and has problems associated with hte methods as the links I provided point out- please refer to my previosu post- it would be nice to have a civil conversation for once.

Sorry, but there is no point having much of a conversation with those who engage in bad science, whether it be global warming believers or young Earth believers - they both start with preconceptions and then craft theories to match those preconceptions.

No kidding- reread what I wrote- I didn’t say it did- you misread what I said

Didbn’t liek thel ist of links that pointed out the problems with al the different dating methods eh?

[[Try again (this time with, say, potassium/argon dating.]]

That method is covered i nthe links I presented showing the problems with it- again EVERYTHING beyond Carbon-14 is nothign but assumptions and riddled with problems
