Given that the overwhelming majority of the evidence points to an Old Earth, and you are challenging the scientific status quo, perhaps you should identify specific and detailed cases where radiometric dating produced results that do not support an old Earth. You are making an extraordinary claim, extraordinary evidence is required.
BTW, you should also address the evidence that the Earth was old that was established well before radiometric dating was used.

Let's start with the foundation that relative dating and absolute dating (all of them not just radiomtric dating) match so well. This would seem to be the best confirmation that both tecniques are accurate--after all, what would affect both of them equally other than the passage of time?

What other mechanism would provide this correlation?

ROTFL---and so how does this affect other calculations by other methods? Remember, all of the methods corroborate each other---now how does this happen if the mechanism you are identifying only affects one or a few methods? Very curious?
