7.    So how do you tell the age of a fossil, rocks, dinosaurs and the Earth ?

You can’t. There is no scientific method that can give absolute dates for a fossil, a rock, a dinosaur or the Earth :

·         Rocks cannot scientifically be dated by their appearance (supposedly old rocks do not necessarily look old, neither do supposedly young rocks look young)

·         Rocks cannot scientifically be dated by their petrological character

·         Rocks cannot scientifically be dated by their mineral contents

·         Rocks are not necessarily dated by their structural features

·         Rocks are not dated by their adjacent rocks

·         Rocks are not dated by vertical superposition

·         Rocks are not dated radiometrically (many people mistakenly believe evolutionists determine the age of rocks from the study of the radioactive elements in the rocks)

·         Rocks cannot scientifically be dated by any physical characteristics at all (there is nothing at all in the physical appearance or content of a rock that can be used to determine its age)

·         Rocks are not dated by their total fossil contents (many fossils are the remains of animals and plants kinds that are still alive today. This makes the fossils useless as indicators of a rock’s age)

So how do evolutionists actually know the age of fossils, rocks, dinosaurs and the Earth …? They don’t.
