How can we know how old fossils are?

At work.

Uhm.... you know that 'Concrete' is (Effectivly) the same chemistry (Or is that chemically?) as 'Limestone', right?

Just that one forms from things like calciforous Diatoms and the like while the other is made in a kiln?

Ok but what if it was as hot as the Sun? then would the rocks be able to survive and the radioactive decay?

Is it possible that there are unknown rocks who couldn't survive and we are even older than we think in the earth? That the temperature was that of the Sun or something completely ridiculous and unheard of?

It appears there is such a thing as a stupid question.

No, the only phenomenon known to alter radioactive decay rates are tachyonic emissions from the TARDIS.

Seriously work with me here, what if it was even hotter than the sun and even as hot as Hell? which I'm sure some think is silly, but then could the rocks still survive? ANd if not was there then a new tiny big bang to create earth or am I getting silly? Just answer me this, is there any temperature on earth or on the sun which the rocks couldn't survive? And I think that ladyforcamus girl is pretty hot.

Monkeys might fly out of my butt too.

What you're doing doesn't pass as skepticism, it's ignorance and idiocy.

All of your questions can literally be answered by a google search.

Uhm.... I'm pretty sure there aren't any place on Earth as hot as the Sun.

Also.... you do kind of grok that there are still places on our little silicate ball that, effectivly, haven't done anything much more than slide about since our little ball of silicate cooled enough to be called a 'Solid object', right?

How good are you at deep-throating?

RE: How can we know how old fossils are?
So is there any temperature in which the rocks couldn't survive throughout human history? Does the fact we have aged the rocks and shows the earth's age make you question, well what if there were rocks before them but the temperature was as hot as whatever it needs to be that it didn't survive, IDK that temp, just saying. Is this making sense?
