I agree. It is impossible to date anything with any type of isotope unless you have something that you can prove was made at the date you are looking at. A million years, a billion years or 50 years... it does not make any difference unless you already have a sample that was also made at that time. This is all intellectual BS.

Not true. Looking at the daughter product ratios gives the initial date and isotope composition.

Nope!

Not without a confrimation ...such as a hammer with an inscription that tells us that this hammer was made in Nashville, Tennessee by the Thor Iron Works on 2 August 1914 AND you've got the ironworker that made that particular hammer testifying on oath that he indeed made that particular hammer on that date.

If a rock is a billion years old... you've got to have another sample of rock that you can prove to be a billion years old. Otherwise... there is not a word of truth in it.
