Your escape mechanism is not working. When something doesn't work, it doesn't work.
You'd better throw your bathroom scale away, then, because it simply doesn't work for weighing 8.4 grains of gun powder.
No. I am referring to Dr. Steve Austin and others. They used rocks from Mt. St. Helens and the Grand Canyon. The most interesting is they broke a rock into four pieces and sent them to four different laboratories. The date is varied by up to more than a billion years. Not very credible.
Did ANY of those 4 different labs date their rock sample at 6000 to 7000 years old…?
Of course not. They used dating methods which assume they know how much parent product was there in the beginning, which they can't know. They assumed they know how much daughter product was there in the beginning, which they can't know. They assumed no product was leached out or brought in, which they can't know. If the dating was reliable, all the labs would have arrived at about the same age, no matter which system they employed.
