He said they tried to date the pyramids and were way off. That an independent study was more accurate not using that method. He also said they tried to date how old a shark was and they were wrong as hell. He claims they are disproven all the time a nd that science is making this stuff up. Now I personally believe in scientists but do some of them make mistakes or he just cherry picking?
I am assuming he is talking about carbon dating. As I understand it, carbon dating has been varified back to about 50,000 years using lake varves, ice cores, and ocean floor sediment layers. Tree rings also varify it back thousands of years as well. My understanding is that other forms of radiometric dating have been varified by multiple methods, but I am no expert.
