Radioactive carbon dating methods are used to determine the ages of rocks, fossils, and everything in between. The dates found seem to be sientific fact that the earth is more than 6,000-10,000 years old. This can be scientifically disputed though. Radiocarbon dating methods rely on a few assumptions. For one, it assumes the Uniformitarian Principle is true, that everything has always been as it is right now. How does this apply to dating methods? It assumes that the rates of decay for radiocarbon have always been and always will be the same. But, this cannot be known because it is not observable, and if something is not observable then it is not science. Also another assumption is that the formation of radiocarbon has been and still is at the same rate, again cannot be considered true because not observable. There is also the topic of "blind studies" if you would like to know more about those and more about radiocarbon dating see the link. ~~>Link<~~
