The Creationists' Nightmare

For every one of those, there is an alleged billion-year-old rock with outlying million or multi-billion dates.

Quote:Even if we allow for a very generous amount of pre-decay argon that we can estimate to be equivalent to 500,000 years, what does this really mean when we are measuring the age of rocks in billions of years? Do you realize how insignificant this error is?
Dating works with proportions, so the amount equivalent to 500,000 years is different for each rock. A very small amount can sway the results. And the older you are dating, the smaller the amounts become. A milligram might be worth a billion years. I contend that the amount of pre-decay argon could be that high--remember, there have been only a few four-billion-year rocks found, and they are in very specific locations. It's not unreasonable to claim a high number, because as D. Pitman said, "...all K-Ar and Ar-Ar dates of crustal rocks are questionable" because Ar leaks from lower-strata rocks. We can't say who's right until we get more sources. I don't pretend to be knowledgeable on this subject, which is why I read a lot. And scientific journals with actual facts are hard to find on the internet. Here's a slightly more professional take I discovered: http://www.cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/ce/datin...inaccurate
I invite you to give a source of your own. A complete list of dates retrieved from a set of rocks would be great, as I can't find a single one--they are all abridged, evolution sites and creation sites both.

To clarify, I am not arguing for strict 6,000 year-old rocks. When God created the earth, He created rocks with the appearance of age--He didn't create magma and wait for it to cool. I'm looking for a minor inaccuracy in surface rocks. Like the flat layers in the picture at the bottom of this page: http://www.noapologies.info/How-Do-You-Date-a-Rock-.php (I don't advocate anything else on the page.)
