Wait few more days after I am done with the 30/30 rule and I'll post the video.

Doesn't show up when I search for it... but I won't hold my breath in anticipation of a proper dismantling of radiometric dating methods.

The very fact that you rely on a crummy youtube video makes it obvious that you don't understand how it works. And it's very likely that whoever made that video is either equally ignorant, or is actively deceiving you.

You see... I have a college degree in Physics... and a PhD to go with it... I understand how those things work.
You, on the other hand, don't... and you are ignorant enough to believe whatever someone says that agrees with your preconceived notions.

Some time ago, a friend of mine started consuming the core of peach pits. If you search for it, there are countless sites out there advocating its anti-cancer and pro-healing properties. Research done, he took what a friend of his had told him, added the two and started doing it.
When he told me about it, I searched for actual studies done on the subject. Turns out there was at least one. Non-conclusive, was the main result. So, it's the same as a placebo.
I showed it to him and, of course, he stopped gathering up peach pits and eating the core...

We are easily swayed to go along with some idea that we can't readily debunk.
Armed with this little piece of information about how most human minds work, Do you think you are also subject to such a flaw?
No? Why would you think that your mind is any different? Why would you think that you can't be swayed by a bad idea?

How is your physics degree relevant to radiometric dating, or do you mean you know how science is done? 

Regardless, sounds like an argument from authority to me.
