Mount St. Helens Disproves a Young Earth (and so can you!)

Does Potassium Argon (K-Ar) dating of a dacite lava dome, formed during the 1980 eruption at Mt. St. Helens, show that radiometric dating is plagued by faulty assumptions? Dr. Steve Austin of the Institute for Creation Research sent the samples to Geochron Laboratories in Massachusetts and came back with ages up to 2.8 million years! That's well above the known age of the rocks—only 10 years. Obviously, there's a discrepancy that must be explained, so what does this mean for Young Earth Creationism and for radiometric dating? Common responses include that we simply can't date young rocks by the K-Ar method, so we should dismiss Austin's results entirely. But that's not true at all—we can and do successfully date samples with as little as zero years of age. Here I take a closer look at the laboratory techniques behind these data (and especially their uncertainties), so that you can understand why Austin's K-Ar ages came out to 0.34–2.8 Ma, yet he somehow he managed to do what all creationists do: provide support for the conventional geological timeline.
