If the rate of decay is cumulative, then it is possible that the elements that we measure time with have also decayed, and that time flow today is not the same as timeflow 200,000 years ago. Therefore inconclusive.
Even the solar system experiences decay and some of the planets are further out than they used to be. Apparently. Since sin has affected the whole creation, expecting the sun moon and stars to continue to move at the same rate is kind of absurd, since in such a short time compared to 200,000 years, we have had to switch from a 360 day calendar to a 365.25 day calendar. Much like politicians blaming previous administrations for the amount of money lost without taking into account the depreciation of the value of said money ... so is the concept that we can measure with any certainty at all. There are some things we cannot know, there is a lot of faith placed on the dating methods.Decay of what?

Modern Science demonstrates that anatomically modern humans appeared in Ethiopia 200,000 years ago and migrated to every continent by 60,000 to 30,000 years ago. The evidence of this is:
- fossils
- analysis of DNA and genetics from ancient remains
Nothing specific, anything where there isn't at least 1000 of consistent sample, is unreliable when declaring hundreds of thousands or even billions of years. My point is that we cannot know.What specific dating methods do you have a problem with?
The subject Was Adam 200,000 years ago, my answer is we cannot know, my earlier answer was why. totally on topic.Umm.... Maybe you were thinking of posting on a different thread? Nothing in the OP mentions radioactive decay based dating methods. If you want to talk about radioactive decay and dating methods, there are already a bunch of threads on that, or of course you can start a new one.

If evidence is not satisfying, saying you do not know is about as scientific as you can get. I'm open to review evidence of course.So don't even try? I guess why bother if you are happy in your religion.

I think it could then be said that God's word is found often not satisfying for some here because it falsifies a long-held scientific belief.Often, evidence is not satisfying because it falsifies a long-held religious belief.

I don't really have any beliefs on how old the universe is tho, it's not necessary for me to know so I can have no opinion until good evidence appears.Often, evidence is not satisfying because it falsifies a long-held religious belief.

Adam is the patriarch of the humans alive today. Y chromosome most recent common ancestor. (Y-MRCA) Humans most likely go back further but they do not share a common ancestor.modern humans appeared in Ethiopia 200,000
Adam is the matriarch
sorry I fixed it. The matriarch would be based on the mitochondrial MTDNA. Men carry their mother's mitochondrial. Just like women carry their father's Y chromosome. At some point in time we all share a common ancestor.Seems to be some gender confusion here.
