Also see Chapter 6 "Inaccurate Dating Methods - why the non-historical dating techniques are not reliable" in The Evolution Handbook by Vance Ferrell. This entire 992 page book may be viewed at http://www.evolution-facts.org./ Chapter 6 lists in detail the top 20 methods of dating materials, supposedly older than a few thousand years, and shows how they are all notoriously unreliable.

1) Uranium-lead dating
2) Thorium-Lead dating
3) Lead 210 dating
4) Helium dating
5) Rubidium-strontium dating
6) Potassium-argon dating
7) Potassium-calcium dating
8) Strata and fossil dating
9) Radiocarbon (carbon 14) dating
10) Amino acid decomposition dating
11) Racemization dating
12) Astronomical dating
13) Paleomagnetic dating
14) Varve dating
15) Tree ring dating
16) Buried forest strata dating
17) Peat dating
18) Reef dating
