Essentially your point reflects the fact that the victims of religious indoctination are more likely to believe further falsehoods asserted by religious authorities. That sounds like a good reason NOT to teach creationism and ID.

As I've argued time and again, the Biblical model implies pre-flood conditions which should render modern dating methodology inaccurate.
You mean you've asserted it time and time again. And run away from offering any support for it, time and time again. Because even you don't have any good reason to think that it's true. And don't bother to deny it. you know very well that that's the truth.

Thus if we don't know what the properties of the atmosphere were before the flood, how can we test for acurate dating?
Easy. You check different methods against each other. The study of the Lake Suigetsu varves is one example. There is no way that atmospheric conditions should affect the varve count - if they affected it at all - AND affect the radiocarbon readings in the same way. We've had threads on correlations between dating methods and the results utterly explode your idea. Or they would if it was sensiblew in the first place - which it never was.
