Carbon-14 dating isn't the only way to date things. Scientists can date the rock layers that fossils are found in, and even if they couldn't, the simple presence of fossils makes them hard to deny, even if the dating isn't 100% accurate.

Indirect measurements even using thorium dating are still indirect and are of low confidence by the nature of an indirect measurement. The radiocarbon dating accuracy is closer to less than 0.001% accurate (It is actually magnitudes less accurate than that as it is not a linear extrapolation). So by your logic, the Shroud of Turin, by its simple presence, makes Jesus and ergo Creation by the Christian God hard to deny (even if dating isn't 100% accurate). Every theory has its holes when you pull it apart (both creation and evolution).

  • Did you skip over the part where I said they used other methods to date the rock layers?
