Dating Methods
So-called "scientists" of the secular variety enjoy jabbing creation scientists. They stupidly claim creation science is not a science at all, all the while practicing something that cannot possibly be called science by even their own definitions. Here is a good description of how these priests of Evolution use dating methods.
If you read the short article, you can see how they can get just about whatever dates they want and "confirm" these dates just as ludicrously. Throughout this "scientific" slight of hand, they utterly fail to recognize the numerous assumptions they make in their feeble attempts to affix the desired age to items. These techniques differ little from the lies, tricks, and fables concocted by religious cults (like Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and Scientologists). Perhaps such "scientists" should indeed be more properly named as priests of a laughable and easily disproved faith called Naturalism.

The dating game
There is a great deal of revealing information about the non-science of radiometric dating in this article. It is long, and somewhat technical, but it does a superb job of illustrating that dating, far from being "reliably scientific," is really nothing more than a farce perpetrated by those whose lives and livelihoods depend on evolution being true.
