They use a technique known as carbon dating.You can look it up on Wikipedia for more details.
you can’t carbon date a dinosaur fossil.

Rather you date for potassium isotopes.

Through carbon dating or radioactive dating....

It's a simple experiment... Lots of geologist do carbon dating experiment in their department.. Except in Nigerian university...

96 million years indeed. Who was there to count? Someone please tell me how old this earth is.

Radiocarbon dating is a technique used by scientists to learn the ages of biological specimens
It is only accurate to 15,000 years old..anything beyond it is just imaginative speculation to a high degree.

50,000years actually.

They date for potassium isotopes in the bone, which has a half-life of more than 1trillion years unlike carbon with just 5700+ years

Their hypothetical analysis on the years are very confusing and demands questioning.
You aren't smart enough or qualified enough to ask them questions. If you were, you wouldn't have those questions in the first place

Running a carbon dating experiment on a tree of 5 to 10 years is different from that of a tree believed to be 10,000 years old. Carbon dating or radioactive dating can never be even remotely close to accurate on things 'believed' to be millions of years old because the metric used for determining it cannot be physically observed beyond such years. We can accurately assign a metric to time zones and the weather patterns because we can physically OBSERVE it. Same with calendars, ritcher scales etc because we can actually observe them year after year after year to come to a decisive conclusion on the metrics used. How can you determine that a metrics is acurate in determining a million year fossil if you can't observe it physically?

They are archeologists and scientists; they work with facts and data; and they have scientific methods of confirming their findings. You must have heard of carbon dating. Even heard there is a newer, more accurate way of dating fossils and artifacts, can’t remember the name right now.

This is pure crass ignorance. I will assume you weren’t a science student.

Bones are made of mineral, minerals don’t decompose. Decomposition involves mostly the conversion of organic compounds to energy and by-products. Minerals are not organic hence cannot be degraded.

Bones are made mostly of potassium and phosphates hence can be preserved for even eons in the absence of weathering agents.

Who told you that the earth is 6000 years old? According to the record in the Bible, God created man 6000 years ago, but God created the heaven and the earth in the beginning (unspecified date which could be millions or billions of years ago). The universe and the earth were created at the same time.

Theses creatures lived on the earth millions of years ago, but some millions of years ago the earth underwent a cataclysmic disaster that caused the death of these creatures and the earth came to be in the state that was without form and void as mentioned in Genesis chapter 1. Then 6000 years ago God decided to make the earth once again habitable with different creatures living in it.

The earth cannot be 6000years, it’s a joke. I can tell you how we found out.

The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years. It decays into radium-226, which in turn decays into radon-222. Radon-222 becomes polonium-210, which finally decays into a stable nuclide, lead.

I don’t know if you understand radioactivity else that won’t make sense to you but the fact that we have lead as an element on earth which always form from polonium is evidence that earth cannot be less than 4.5billion years old

Lol, there are methods to determine the age of anything, and its been proven to work, its called Radiometric dating,
You can read about it, just Google search it
