We use the radiometric technique that is most accurate for the assumed time span. That is determined by the half-life of the isotope. We might start with one method and then go WTF, we were not even close with our original guess. Then we use a different isotope.Radiocarbon dating works, but you have to be very careful. It also only works for a few thousand years for dating actual history of man. The error rate is too large for older samples. The half-life of carbon 14 is only 6k yearsI looked up radocarbon dating. Lots of flaws with that method. Ironically nuclear testing and coal/oil have ruined the results. Very unreliable. Yet that's what you use.
More recently, accelerator mass spectrometry has become the method of choice
Any addition of carbon to a sample of a different age will cause the measured date to be inaccurate. Contamination with modern carbon causes a sample to appear to be younger than it really is
What???? So you are using a bad method buddy.
Radiocarbon dating is generally limited to dating samples no more than 50,000 years old, as samples older than that have insufficient 14
C to be measurable.
Do you understand what that means? That means your method is only good for measuring a young earth. It's completely ineffective measuring things older than 50,000 years. Did you know that? Of course you did not.
It works for all living matter for a young earth.
What about radiometric dating? Don't you think the atheist scientists who swear by this method should be careful, too. They could be off by as 4.5 billion years.
We also use other methods ~ Dating | The Smithsonian Institution's Human Origins Program
No one is questioning the decay and half-life of the isotope. What is being challenged using radiometric dating are the assumptions made of the earth and universe during the beginning of time.
The various isotope dating methods rely upon several assumptions. They are:
People like Clair Patterson and Neil DeGrasse Tyson are basing the findings the earth is billions of years old on wrong assumptions. Atheists and their scientists are usually wrong. The Smithsonian is an institution that has been taken over by these atheist scientists.
- Known amounts of daughter isotope (usually zero) at start.
- No gain or loss of parent or daughter isotopes by any means other than radioactive decay (closed system).
- A constant decay rate.[3]
You know Tyson really pisses you guys off you bring him up as much as Republicans bring up Soros.

Degrasse has been doing well for himself. Probably better than Bill Nye as he actually is a scientist. Yet, Tyson subscribes to fake science, fabricates quotes and embellishes stories. I'll be sure to let you and everyone know when he gets his comeuppance.
