How can we know how old fossils are?

We also don't know for a fact the atmospheric conditions throuhgout history, so even though we can determine how rocks age in the present in our lifetime, we can know that something turns into something over 10 years persea, how can we know it changed to this degree over millions and millions of years not knowing the atmospher? Also if rain causes rock decay and water does, then that alters how old we think it is, in another words, if the water makes it older than it isn't really older. Does this make you think maybe science isn't all that accurate and those supposed evolutionary bones may not be old at all but different creatures just popping up around the same time? How can geology explain this?

Does rock decay and weathering disprove rock dating and other forms b/c it's decaying from atmosphere and not natural and how can we know which is which?

If you look at the bottom, its self explanatory  .....  the first date is how old it is and the 'sell by date' is the time it should be used by? next?  Hehe
