Conventional scientists claim that dating methods are robust and reliable, but young-earth advocates insist that all are based on untestable assumptions and circular reasoning. Here's the science behind it, and why it's reliable.

The Hawaiian Islands offer a fascinating natural laboratory to test young earth and old earth models, including the reliability of radiometric dating. Both models have clear expectations that can be compared with what we actually find in nature, and only one model fits the evidence.

Regardless of whether one thinks the earth to be young or old, Christians should insist on accurately and honestly presented data.
