How do you prove old age? Modern scientists would say lets use a dating method... okay... rubidium strontium, or c12-c14, or potassium argon, or lead-lead, samarium-neodymium, rhenium-osmium, uranium-thorium-lead,lutetium-hafnium, or maybe argon-argon, or even potassium calcium. Remember this folks. CARBON, that is dating works exclusivly on organic samples. The basic assumption to ALL these methods is: 1. rate of nuclei decay has been predictable AND uniform over all time 2. isotope composition or rock samples has not changed, due to other chemical processes 3. the samples have been in a closed area. No leaching of any substance into or out of the test material. 4. We must know the original amount of a given isotope in the sample, at time of death, or burial, or formation.
The popular view is that dating methods prove... these types of assumptions are simply not acceptable in a court of law as fact. The measureing of the decay of different isotopes is EASY, and scientific, the assumptions about original composition, and constant rate of decay, and guessing over a sealed sample is simply not scientific.
