A detailed survey of the following dating methods in actual use: K-Ar, Ar-Ar, Fission track, Rb-Sr, U-Pb, Pb-Pb, Sm-Nd, Re-Os, Lu-Hf, La-Ce, etc. Addresses and refutes the common defensive statements used by proponents of the dating methods. Special emphasis is on demonstrating that discrepant results are not the exception, but the rule, and that arguments used to justify so-called good dates are, when closely examined, arbitrary and without foundation.

From the Inside Flap:

Discover:

What textbooks and newspapers won't tell you

Why discrepancies are common and dating methods are not "self-checking".

That there is no unequivocal support for an Earth age of 4.5 billion years.

How geologists often disagree on which dates are "good".

Why advancements in isotopic dating have only expanded the list of rationalizations for unwelcome dates.

The steady but obvious retreat of expectations for dating methods.

How chance alone can explain most agreements between methods.

And much more!
