1) Again you are making an assumption that the composition of lava flows have always remained the same, and that atmospheric conditions would have the same effect as today.
Bullshit. The assumption is the chemical properties of the elements are the same as they are today, not the composition of lava flow have always been the same. If the same daughter elment would have outgassed or precipitated out of lava today, it would have outgassed or precipitated out of lava last year, a million years ago, or a billiom years ago. This is how we can assume up to the last period of time when the lava remained liquid, whatever the ratioactive decay had already happened, there would be little or none of the daughter elements in the liquid.
The same with C14 dating. If the cosmic ray conditions had been so different as to generate dramatically different atmospheric content of C14, then perhaps a tree whose rings tell you it is 7235 years old wouldn't have its wood test out to have a carbon date of pretty damned close to 7200 years, would it? Or do tree grow faster or were the years shorter in proportion to the degree of cosmic ray impact on the rate of C14 production?
You can safely assume if you believe in the bible, you are both too dumb and too ignorant, by a vast margin, to form any valid challenges to theory of science. Science is not always right. But it takes far greater insight than would be within the grasp of the typical bible believing creatardic excuses for minds to spot the errors and correct them. That includes you. You don't even play in the minor leagues.
