Yes, Please read coftys explanation. You will see he uses circular reasoning.
Read the whole Post. If you can think and comprehend you will see where they are coming from.
The land of confusion.
If you cant think and comprehend Cofty is always recruiting.
God has given him up to his own foolish understanding and he cant see.
Since the same layers of sedimentary rock are to be found all over the world, wherever igneous rock is found above, below or within a layer of sedimentary rock it, and the fossils it contains can be dated. The accuracy of these dates can be confirmed by comparing numerous clocks from numerous samples. Not just the relative ages, but also the actual ages of sedimentary rock layers are now known with certainty coftys words.
They have proven they can not date lava. They dated Mount St. Helens off by 2.8 million years which is in my world much more than
1%. It's an error percentage like 2.8 million percent.
In the scientific community the dating of the Mount St. Helens lava is what is called a double blind test.
Something most people learn in 7th grade biology.
In my opinion your wasting your time arguing with Cofty and the evolutionist/atheist. They are on the highway to hell.
And they are blind to it. They cant even comprehend what they read or say.
The dating test
In June of 1992, Dr Austin collected a 7-kg (15-lb) block of dacite from high on the lava dome. A portion of this sample was crushed and milled into a fine powder. Another piece was crushed and the various mineral crystals were carefully separated out.3 The ‘whole rock’ rock powder and four mineral concentrates were submitted for potassium-argon analysis to Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, MA—a high-quality, professional radioisotope-dating laboratory. The only information provided to the laboratory was that the samples came from dacite and that ‘low argon’ should be expected. The laboratory was not told that the specimen came from the lava dome at Mount St Helens and was only 10 years old.
The results of this analysis are shown in Table 1. What do we see? First and foremost that they are wrong. A correct answer would have been ‘zero argon’ indicating that the sample was too young to date by this method. Instead, the results ranged from 340,000 to 2.8 million years! Why? Obviously, the assumptions were wrong, and this invalidates the ‘dating’ method. Probably some argon-40 was incorporated into the rock initially, giving the appearance of great age. Note also that the results from the different samples of the same rock disagree with each other.
It is clear that radioisotope dating is not the ‘gold standard’ of dating methods, or ‘proof’ for millions of years of Earth history. When the method is tested on rocks of known age, it fails miserably. The lava dome at Mount St Helens is not a million years old! At the time of the test, it was only about 10 years old. In this case we were there—we know! How then can we accept radiometric-dating results on rocks of unknown age? This challenges those who promote the faith of radioisotope dating, especially when it contradicts the clear eyewitness chronology of the Word of God.

| | Sample | Age / millions of years |
| 1 | Whole rock | 0.35 ± 0.05 |
| 2 | Feldspar, etc. | 0.34 ± 0.06 |
| 3 | Amphibole, etc. | 0.9 ± 0.2 |
| 4 | Pyroxene, etc. | 1.7 ± 0.3 |
| 5 | Pyroxene | 2.8 ± 0.6 |
