And about radiometric dating...
The problem with attacks on radiometric dating; they assume that any weakness in the precision of the method somehow translates to the conclusion that all of the figures are hundreds of thousands of times too big! Think about it: we're finding anomalously high concentrations of decay products from substances that have half-lives of hundreds of millions of years. Regardless of how precisely we can estimate the ages of these rocks, the fact that we can detect these concentrations at all is proof that age estimates of less than 10,000 years are completely impossible.
