How about just eliminating the scientifically refuted evidence which is still in school textbooks and allowing critical thought and discussion of the theory instead of teaching information as scientific fact which isn’t? I remember one sentence in my book that dated a fossil to an EXACT year over 300 million years ago — I mean like 300,343,387 years ago. Last I checked we didn’t have that type of accuracy but the information is communicated in that fashion to dissuade any critical questioning. The controversy is because of the dogma surrounding common ancestry. Day by day the whole thing is smelling more and more like the global warming hoax.

Which textbook are you referring to?

“Last I checked we didn’t have that type of accuracy”

Then you might want to check again. Radiometric dating can be very very accurate when comparing a series of isotopes (ex. rubidium/strontium, thorium/lead, potassium/argon, argon/argon, or uranium/lead) which range from 0.7 to 48.6 billion years.

The fossil you mentioned probably had a great many different isotopes for comparative analysis.
