A Scientists Approach to Creation (Origins)

My problem is not with isotopic dating as a method as much as it is the assumptions that have to be made and the number of false measurements that have been made. -As one example: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/003358949290071P-The funny thing here is that it is talking about the difficulties of having aquatic and sediments when trying to verify carbon dates. Ironically, given the sheer number and distribution of marine organisms in the fossil record on land, it implies that much of the earth was covered with water at some point or another, regardless of whether or not you believe in a global flood. The mere presence of these marine organisms invalidates a large number of radiometric dating techniques because they can not be corrected for an environment that can not be sampled. -This also calls into question the validity of sediment layers as ocean currents and river output would dramatically change the sedimentary composition of these now-defunct seas.
