Radiometric Dating—Proof of Long Ages?

Yesterday we learned that long ages for earth’s history didn’t come from the rocks themselves but from scientists who rejected God’s Word and made assumptions about the rocks. But hasn’t radiometric dating proved the millions of years?

Well, this dating method is founded on assumptions that can’t be proven and appear to be, well, false!

Take, for example, Mount St. Helens in Washington state. It was dated to between half a million and nearly three million years old. But the rocks of Mount St. Helens were formed just forty-five years ago when the volcano erupted!

Radiometric dating doesn’t confirm an old earth.
