That's total BS. Fossils can be dated by atomic methods. Once the age of a stratum is known, if you find that stratum in another area you can safely assume the fossils there are of the same age. Your explanation of the method is circular and, therefore, ludicrous in that it in no way describes how scientists really go about determining age.
How is the age of stratum determined ?
So do you deny fossils are used to determine the age of strata ?
Of course not. If the fosssils found are a certain age, so is the stratum. Strata can also be aged without fossils by atomic methods. Once that's done strata found around the world that have the same pattern of strata are assumed to bew of the same age. That's the way it works. How does that have anything to do with creationism? It would seem to throw that theory completely out the window. Since things obviously weren't created at the same time and many species found today aren't found in the past, evolution would seem to be the answer. The only way to reconcile those facts would be to backtrack and claim multiple creations over billions of years, which is totally unbiblical. I really don't see where you have a logical leg to stand on in this discussion.
How do you know the different layers of strata were not the result of the same cataclysmic event ?
Why would it matter if dolphins were found in different layers of strata then trilobites ? are you saying Dolphins didn't die at the same time as trilobites ?
I believe what scientist are seeing is the result of a global flood. I was not there so there is many things that can't be explained.
With all the weight that was placed on the earth with the global flood, that could have produced plate tectonics and no telling what all happened. Just a theory though.
Dating methods are conducted off presuppositions,if the presuppositions are in error so is the date that is reached. That does not sound like a method that is reliable.
You're forgetting dates are reached by many dating methods that are known to be flawed.
