Oh, why not make it three million years ago? Or sixteen million? As long as we're making up numbers, why not shoot for the moon? A billion years ago!
All these dating guesses are based on a very shaky presuppositon: i.e., that the method used for dating would hold true all the way back to the beginning, that nothing intervened to skew the data and thus make the methodology suspect, and that there could be no other explanation possible for the data observed.
It’s because a “scientist” said so!
And you can’t date rock. The points can only be aged by associating them with things around them, often charcoal from campfires, etc.
Association has to be done with extreme care because campsites are found in the same places, for the same reasons, from wildly differing eras.
Sometimes you get lucky, like the guy who found the first Folsom point embedded in the bone of an extinct species of Bison. But thats rare.
So what you are saying is that anything over hmmmmmmmm 6,000 years is BS?
Yeah, it’s much smarter to assume that all dating methods and aging processes change randomly over time, or that they all magically skew in the same direction by the same amount.
THAT WAY YOU DON’T HAVE TO QUESTION ONE MAN’S COUNTING OF YEARS IN ONE BOOK.
Much simpler.
Like assuming that every "day" is exactly 24 hours, even if you are counting "days" before the darkness was divided from the light.
