In addition, as you briefly allude to in the portion I didn't quote, there are other methods which depend not a whit on radiometric dating to determine a minimum age of the earth that invalidates creationist claims. Specifically (but not limited to) dendrochronology, a counts of varve and Loess deposit layers - not to mention more esoteric indirect evidence such as solar seismology.
...and indeed, refuting one thing does not support another thing unless they are the only possibilities.
In short, science has a hammerlock on young earth crackpots.
