Carbon, Potassium Argon, Strontium and other radiometric dating methods do not prove that the earth is billions or millions of years old. 

	If a frog turns into a prince over millions of years we call it evolution and put it in text books.  If a frog turns into a prince with a kiss we call it a fairy tale and put it in the garbage.  Time is evolutionists’ magic wand.  Without Millions and Billions of years evolution is not possible.  The Bible does not tell us that God used evolution to create us, it tells us that God created us in six days.  There is no way to mesh evolution and the Bible, nor is there any reason to do so.  Why?  Because evolution has not been proven by science.  In this article I’m going to talk a little about radiometric dating methods and how these methods are not solid scientifically.    
Radiometric dating methods estimate the age of objects using calculations based on the decay rates of radioactive elements such as uranium, strontium, and potassium.  On the surface, radiometric dating methods appear to give powerful support to the statement that life has existed on the earth for hundreds of millions, even billions, of years.  But are these methods accurate?  Let us see. 
So how do these dating methods work?  Basically, Radioactive elements decay gradually into other elements.  The original element is called the parent, and the result of the decay process is called the daughter element.  Assuming we start out with pure parent, as time passes, more and more daughter will be produced.  By measuring the ratio of daughter to parent, we can measure how old the sample is.  A ratio of zero means an age of zero.  A higher ratio means an older age. 
In theory, Radiometric dating methods could be a very good way to find the age of an object.  But unfortunately these methods are far from infallible and are based on three basic yet huge assumptions.  Say that you walked into a room, and in this room was a burning Kerosene lantern.  Then suppose I came up to you and asked, “How long has that lantern had been burning?”  You wouldn’t know because you just walked into the room, right?  Suppose that I then asked you to find out how long it had been burning.  You could do several scientific experiments to try to figure out how long it had been burning.  You could first find the volume of the Kerosene basin.  You could then find out how much Kerosene was burned per hour.  From those two experiments you could estimate how long it had been burning, but you would still have to make several huge assumptions.  You would have to assume that it burned at the same rate the whole time, that no Kerosene was added since it was lit, and that the Kerosene basin had a certain amount in it to start with.  These assumptions are very similar to the assumptions scientists make when they radiometrically date objects.  They assume a constant rate of decay, an isolated system in which no parent or daughter element can be added or lost, and a known amount of the daughter element present initially.  But do these assumptions really nullify radiometric dating?  Well you can’t find the correct answer to the equation  x + y + z + 14 = What number  by assuming the numbers for x, y, z.  
Therefore, you can’t find the answer to the dating equation because of the assumptions either.
