A lot of information indeed. I will concern myself with the radio metric dating since they yield the oldest ages. The following resources is partly why I doubt radio-metric dating. I encourage you to question them.
From: http://answersingenesis.org/creation/v17/i3/pigs.asp

quote: This last part says that the pigs won over all the dating methods, even though they were so much in agreeance with one another. I will go back to another argument creationists have. It talks about recent volcanic rock being dated at around a million years. I understand the argument that recent lava flows should not be measured because K-Ar method is only usefull for rocks older than 100,000 years old However, a young sample should return very little or no Argon, and the dating company should say the rock is too young to be dated. However the results are mostly around 1 million years. And I understood that 100,000 years was the lower limit? Here, from this paper:

I await your information on these correlations. Without explaining these correlations this shows that these dates are indeed valid and the methods for obtaining them resulted in accurate results. Note too that the ice core data correlates between arctic and antarctic cores, so you have four sets of data with the same results. But one source mentioned that the 'pigs took it all' in that the correlation between radiometric dating didn't matter at that time. That the correlation was disregarded due to the pigs. So why would it matter here? I used also pointe out a reference that said that evolutionary old age assumptions are used prior to get old dates and agreement between them, this was explained as circular reasoning and why you get corrolation. I have an article on ice layers, and why they do not give millions of years. Link: The Institute for Creation Research
quote: quote:Emhasis mine. quote: Another source concerning The Green River Formation of Wyoming, USAwhere annual layers give million years: quote: However, according to the creationist:
quote: quote: So it seems that there are more complicated things to take into account that uniformatarians are not doing. Their assumption that 'the present is the key to the past' is leading them to false answers. You see why I have trouble agreeing with your statements? In my eyes, the interpretations you are bringing forward, are not taking into account Noah's flood, but that is because they do not believe it happened. (you might say for good reasons). Edited by Reserve, : No reason given.

Once the constituents of the samples were completely understood and valid, well-defined, well-understood, and replicable sample selection and preparation methods were established, all the methods gave concordant dates. And who decides when we have the complete understanding of the samples? You are saying that all dates given by dating methods is due to a complete understanding, including history of the samples. In other words, we are omniscient and can know everything about a sample. I just have to disagree with you on that. The dates were not conclusive based on a complete understanding, but on the best date that fit with the evolutionary theory. Thats it. Not because the dates just fall from the observations, but because it needs to fit with the ToE. Who is to say we will not find some more understanding on all the history of all the rocks? (e.g. the flood in Noah's day). Once we understand this, dates will be overthrown.
