Why Radiometric Dating Fails: A Creationist’s Perspective

Radiometric dating methods are often cited as evidence for millions of years of evolution, but are these methods reliable? Dr. Mark Harwood explores how these dating techniques rely on multiple assumptions that can be adjusted to fit pre-existing beliefs about Earth’s age. He shares startling examples of inconsistencies, like rocks of known age returning wildly inaccurate dates, challenging the accuracy of dating methods as a whole.

Dr. Harwood suggests that the real authority lies in eyewitness historical accounts, particularly those found in the Bible. He discusses how adopting a deep-time perspective contradicts the biblical timeline, potentially undermining its authority and the gospel message.
