Isotope dating is based on assumptions, but for the presence of a Sky Daddy they just need a piece of paper containing stories which have changed (sometimes quite wildly) over the past centuries. Right, makes perfect sense.

No point in taking apart the ignorance in display, but I found A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson to be eye opening, science history for laymen.

One related item surprised me. Long before we arrived at the Earth’s age, proto-scientists, natural philosophers or what have you, were puzzled. Even a couple of hundred years back they couldn’t explain the age of the Earth given their observations, thinking a few million years couldn’t be possible. Turns out, they were right, just not thinking big enough.

Orrrrr, humans and dinosaurs coexisted for 64,994,000 years.
