We can only guesstimate ages older than written history.

Wrong. Several hundred years ago man developed this amazing new philosophy that allows us to make much more than a "guesstimate" it is called the scientific method.

It allows us to date the Earth to within a period of 10 million years.

But your samples are not dated. There are no dated standards.

Your samples are measured for the quantity of specific isotopes using mass spectrometers that are standardized as much as any scale, and that is used to determine the age of the sample. The same for the decay rates of isotopes. These are determined by direct measurements, not guess work.

The so called science method is religious belief based method. They try to apply present laws where they cannot prove the present state applied. Religion. 100%

Current world record sits at 122 years of age for women, 115 years of age for men. As far as I can tell from the bible, women didn't seem to live much different lifespan wise then men did, though it is hard to tell as their ages at death aren't mentioned as much.
Great so rounding it off to 1000 years or so is fine then. Glad we worked all that out.

What features would a rock need in order for you to accept it as evidence for a 10 million year old rock?

We have the evidence. The problem is that you are immune to evidence. It is not the fault of science that you refuse to accept the evidence.

What features would I need for you to accept it as evidence I was 10 million year old? Do not set up a demand that we accept things for an imaginary ridiculous age.
We have the evidence.
So do we. Get in line.

No, you are! So there.

It is their fault when they pretend to have any.

False. It is based on evidence that you have been shown over and over and over. It is not the fault of science that you refuse to look at the evidence.
Pretending the laws in the past are the same as now and that you have some sort of proof is disingenuous. Obviously it is religion.

Still can't answer the question, can you?

Yes I have been to the mountain, and saw the evidence. You have religion only, and God was right all along.

I think you have proven our point. There is no reasoning with you.
