I don't think that evolutionists realize how scientists date objects. I'm sure most evolutionists think that they use dating methods like carbon 14 dating or radiometric dating to determine how old the earth is or how old man is. But in reality, they most often determine the dates of their findings by other imaginary theories.

For example; in order to explain the sedimentary rock layers all over the world, instead of seeing the fact that the world was at one time covered in water by a flood, they have come up with the notion that there was an ice age which of course, they can't prove. So when they find an object they realize it had to have happened before this imaginary ice age so they date it a gazillion years ago so both theories fall into place. Therefore, they date objects on imaginary theories rather than one time-tested dating methods that never fail.

So what happens is this; once upon a time, apes bred human-like creatures called homonids. But there was an ice age so they had to have lived after this ice age which would make them....let's see...at least...hundreds of thousands of years old because it would had to have taken the ice at least hundreds of thousands of years to melt and since apes don't turn into human beings overnight, that takes, probably millions of years, so we'll put the ice age much farther back to maybe about a billion years. But wait, the earth had to take billions of years to cool down from the big bang, so we'll have to make the ice age farther ahead to...let's say...several million years ago. That would give monkeys enough time to turn into humans. And yet they think they are rational.
