Radiometric dating has been shown to not work on rocks of known age. Yet most secular scientists and other old-earth supporters assume that radiometric dating does work on rocks of unknown age. This is quite an obvious inconsistency.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 & that "beginning" was about 6,000 or so years ago based on the Biblical record.
