Bingo! One thing that is never included is how the dates were arrived at as no explanation is given. Welcome to the “church” of evolution. The Church was the prime target evolutionists rebelled against, but lo and behold, they have erected their own “church,” more intolerant, and based on more faith then the true church, only now you are forced to accept the new religion, or else you are stupid, foolish, and ridiculed—no proof or evidence is given, just accept it. My how the tide has turned. Evil fools.

Obviously you didn’t read the article ....
“Lepre said a layer of volcanic ash below the tool site set a “floor” on the site’s age: It matched ash elsewhere that had been dated to about 3.3 million years ago, based on the ratio of argon isotopes in the material. To more sharply define the time period of the tools, Lepre and co-author and Lamont-Doherty colleague Dennis Kent examined magnetic minerals beneath, around and above the spots where the tools were found.
The Earth’s magnetic field periodically reverses itself, and the chronology of those changes is well documented going back millions of years. “We essentially have a magnetic tape recorder that records the magnetic field … the music of the outer core,” Kent said. By tracing the variations in the polarity of the samples, they dated the site to 3.33 million to 3.11 million years.”
It seems that the article has a very clear and understandable explanation of how the site was dated. Now, unless, of course you reject physics, geology and biology, the article makes a great deal of sense.
