How can we determine the age of the Earth, despite inaccurate Radio Carbon Dating methods?

Answer 1

C14 is not used for dating the earth, it is only used for dating archaeological artifacts less than 20,000 years old.

Dating of rock samples is done by isochron dating. Here's an explanation.

Answer 2

Radio Carbon Dating cannot be used for determining the age af the Earth since it goes back no more than about 20,000 years. The dating of the Earth is made through the analysis of other
radioactive isotopes, for instance Uranium that decays in lead,
a particular isotope of lead that is different from commonplace lead, Moreover there are also other methods for cross cheking the results.

Answer 3

Carbon dating is NOT used for dating the earth. Carbon dating is reliable (very reliable) up to several thousand years.

To date the Earth, we can use lower limits established by isochron dating and are self-calibrating. These dates provide a minimum of about 4.3 billion years. Read up on it. You'll be smarter for it.

The most direct means for calculating the Earth's age is a Pb/Pb isochron age, derived from samples of the Earth and meteorites. This involves measurement of three isotopes of lead (Pb-206, Pb-207, and either Pb-208 or Pb-204). A plot is constructed of Pb-206/Pb-204 versus Pb-207/Pb-204.

How do you propose the date be established? Biblical chronologies? LOL

Answer 4

As has already been said, radiocarbon dating is not used for measuring the age of the Earth. You have claimed that it is inaccurate. You should read this and the references:

It is from the Index to Creationist Claims on the Talk Origins site. It is very useful and will answer many of your questions.
