with dating systems there is no ultimate regulator and there is no way of knowing how far off each dating system is from the correct date.
​
But there is. Change the clock in the analogy to a sundial.
​
scientists ASSUME they have the correct date because all dating systems tell them what they want to hear
​
All of them? And they all want to hear the same thing?

By using a sundial instead of a clock in the analogy you can presume that there is actually a correct time and that you can know what it is.
​
I am no scientist but I ASSUME that there is a rate of radioactive decay and that it can be known.

no true christian would accept any secular teaching especially when it calls the God they love a liar
​
If this applies to you then you really have no place in a discussion based on facts and logic. I think this is referred to as suspension of disbelief.
