A closer more likely event that shows age dating wrong. The moon is said to have formed from the earth from a meteor impact. So the moon is of the same matter as the earth, correct? Why the age difference?

Is there such a thing as cross contamination in age dating? Yes there is. What this means is that if a fossil, that dates a few thousand year old, is buried in a geological layer that dates a millions years old. Given time the layer will cross contaminate the fossil to date the same age as the layer does. This is why layers date the fossils, and fossils date the layers so well.

Ikester makes good points. The issue of evolutionist dating techniques really seems to deserve its own thread.

It seems to me that a little creationism is present even in the most atheistic versions of evolutionism. If rocks are created at certain various dates, what else can it mean? We see the creation of rocks acknowledged, but yet credit is never given to anyone for the event.

I find this state of affairs somewhat amusing. Of course I don't want to laughroll prematurely.
