Science is not a gathering of facts, rather, it is a gathering of some facts, a filling in of the blanks (unknown) and the rest is just theories. To know how old a specimen is, science has to theorize many catalysts that have enacted upon said sample. Such theorizing would be: Heat, Humidity, Moisture, Cold, Ground temperature, and many other atmospheric related catalysts. Since no one was around to keep record of these daily occurences, science has to make Theories as to how much effect these catalysts could have had when determining the age of lets say fossils. Science never claims these discoveries as "Fact" Although some lay people misinterpret these findings as "Fact" when in reality, they are only Theories. Do your homework and you will discover that 92% of science is merely conjecture. There is very little that science can actually prove, one way or the other. Their latest attempt at explaning our universe' beginning is called "String Theory" ..
