(a) Studies on submarine basaltic rocks from Hawaii, known to have formed less than two hundred years ago, when dated by the potassium-argon method, yielded ages from 160 million to almost 3 billion years (Funkhouser, p. 4601).
Potasium-argon does not work for recent dates. It works between about 4.3 bya and 100kya. Anyone attempting to use the method ought to know this. Anyone using this method on rock known to be two hundred years old is incredibly stupid or deceitful. It is like trying to measure a carrot seed with a ruler marked only in inches-- your margin for error is HUGE.
(b) The shells of living mollusks have been dated at up to 2,300 years old (Keith, p. 634).
By what method? Probably C-14, yes? Anything currently alive is going to have a very bad C-14 date. We know this. We've unintentionally altered atmospheric C-14 levels.
BTW, the only Keith listed in the sources at the bottom is an M.S. Keith, and it looks like a magazine reference from 1963. I can't find the article. However, how does one get pg. 634 from a magazine? That is a big 'zine!
(c) Freshly-killed seals have been dated at up to 1,300 years, and mummified seals, dead only about thirty years, have yielded dates as high as 4,600 years (Dort, p. 210). In our book, Creation, Evolution and the Age of the Earth, we documented one case where muscle tissue from mummified musk ox was dated at 24,000 years, while hair from the same carcass dated only 7,200 years! (1989a, p. 13). Clearly, the evolutionary clocks are drastically in need of repair!
There isn't enough information to tell what is happening. My bet is contamination of the samples.
