Absolutely everything that purports to date the earth older than 6,000 years is totally wrong.
And here is the problem that you atheists in particular have. It doesn't matter how many creationist scientists with doctorates make their case against every single one of your claims, because you will discount them all on the basis of your biases. You assume that just because one is a creationist that he or she isn't a true scientist because you don't want to believe what they have to say. You disregard them on the basis of principle and not the basis of knowledge, because I doubt even 10% of you have a truly solid understanding of the science of astrophysics, geology, or biology. Most of you are almost certainly self-taught on these subjects, and just enough to sound like you know what you're talking about on internet forums and nothing more.
You say idiotic things like "look at the consensus of all of these smart people." It's really a consensus of people with the same agenda, who are not only fully invested intellectually in their theories and thus ensnared by their pride (which won't allow them to admit they're wrong), but often they are also financially invested in their theories because they receive funding for research based upon them.
Men are corrupt to the core. Have a look at Climategate as just one example of scientists who were proven liars trying to protect their agenda. What makes you think others might not be doing the same thing?
But more than all of this, the real problem is hubris. The truth is that we know very little about geology (we're still theorizing about the earth's core), astronomy (we can hardly see objects in our own solar system), and biology (we can't cure viruses or cancer, at least through man-made solutions). We hardly understand dieting, which has constantly changing theories, yet we think to date the universe to the point where we can confidently declare that it's 13.8 BILLION years old, a number that has changed several times over the last century?
We've not even scratched the surface of the Lord's creation, yet we think to get away with not merely discarding Him, but patting ourselves on the back for doing so while in the last century alone we were so stupid that we allowed political ideas to be implemented that killed nearly two hundred million people (ideas that are still being pushed to this very day).
You people think that the human race is intelligent. We're not; we're a bunch of damned fools absent God's grace, the lot of us.

Only blind faith can lead people to be so stupid.
Yes, there was one extinction level event, called the Flood. That's what killed the dinosaurs, if they all even perished then. Species go extinct all the time, and they may have been hunted to death after the Flood.
Why do you think they're literally finding dinosaur flesh still attached to bones? After millions and millions of years? Ha!
By the way, I had another look at your link about the originality of the "cult of YHWH." None of it did anything to bolster your argument. The fact remains that much older Torah manuscripts could have easily existed and been lost. Archeology doesn't uncover every single piece of historical evidence...it offers glimpses and provides ground for theories and nothing more.
