You've brought up the topic of radiometric dating twice now, tacticalogic. The fact is that it's not uniformly reliable and consistent, showing an age of between 140 million years and almost 4 million years, for a lava flow known to have occurred in 1801, for just one notable example. This should give pause to those who would posit a very ancient “genesis,” but such results are routinely deemed anomalous and tossed out, in favor of those that support the preconceived notion going in.

You wanted to explore the history of Earth Age theories and the various methodologies. I don't know how you expected to have that conversation without that coming up.

Weren't you going on earlier about not "cherry picking the outliers"?

Correction, almost 4 billion years.
