You must know a ballpark age before you choose a technique. Scientists rightly say C-14 dating is inaccurate or unusable for objects over 80,000 years. So too are the methods Rb-Sr, K-Ar, U-Pb ect. inaccurate or unusable for objects under 80,000 years. We know this because we have tested K-Ar and others on rocks we know to be 200~ years old. The results came out to millions or billions of years. Page down to Table 1 in this link:The time of radioactive decay has been determined by half-life formula. The half-life of radioactive decay is refutable, because there is radioactive elements available to be analyzed. Although radioactive dating may have the margin of error, but the radioactive dating of fossils in same region can be combined [arithmetic mean] together to get more accurate date.

Science can't refute itself on topics it isn't sure about. Dating with our current knowledge is like trying to figure out how a sextant works. You may try a hundred different brands of sextant, fifty different types, but if you don't know which side is up you might as well not be using one at all.
Math doesn't lie, Undeceived.
