what's nonsense about them coyote? Mt. St Helens showing false readings, Lava flows also showing false readings- beyond a certain date carbon dating is useless.

There's a more accurate dating methods from Zircons I beleive it is- Gah- i had all this info too- I can't remember if it is helium or some other element that escapes at a set rate-

Here's part of what I had- I did reformat and lost muich of what I'd found- but here's a short list I had saved- some are Christian some not- But despite some being Christian- is it an automatic discredit by you? Because what they present is fact:

Superposition
Not a valid dating method- too manyvariables must be taken into account- too many suppositions

Radiometric Dating Methods

Obsidian Hydration Dating
Many obsidians are crowded with microlites and crystallines (gobulites and trichites), and these form fission-track-like etch pits following etching with hydrofluoric acid. The etch pits of the microlites and crystallines are difficult to separate from real fission tracks formed from the spontaneous decay of 238U, and accordingly, calculated ages based on counts including the microlite and crystalline etch pits are not reliable.”

Thanks. Fifty thousand years plus or minus 11,000 years is still greater than 6,000 years.

Your long list of dating methods, posted apparently without much understanding, does not say anything. None of what you posted shows any major inaccuracies that you claimed for the radiocarbon method.

Dendrochronology actually supports the radiocarbon method; the calibration curve for the US is now past 12,600 years (not 10,000).

If you think you have evidence for a 6,000 year old earth or for inaccuracy in the radiocarbon method, then post it. Long cut and pastes that you don't understand don't help your argument.
