Greetings all,

Sonic : Dating methods are theoretical. Here is a question. Even if they are near to being correct, How do you know, I mean, How do you verify those dates? You can't, nobody has lived that long.
Absolute nonsense.
Dating methods are fully supported by numerous cross-checks which allow us to not only confirm the dating methods are correct, but even exactly HOW correct.
For example,
it is known for certain (from history and archeology) that Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79CE.
When lava from the region was recently dated, the result was about 70CE - showing an accurate result.
The fact that no-one now living was present at Vesuvius' eruption does NOT in the slightest limit our ability to date the event, and to confirm how accurate the dating was.
Your criticism of dating methods is based on pure ignorance - datings methods are regularly tested and checked and their accuracy is accepted by all who know the facts.
