Explanation / Answer

1) Dr. Wiens got his PhD in Physics with a minor in geology. He applied his radiometric dating methods for the isotopic ratios of meteorites which including the the method of surface exposure dating.

2)

Radiometric dating--the process the process of determining the age of rocks from the decay of their radioactive elements has been in

widespread use for over half a century.

There are over 40 such techniques

...these radiometric dating techniques agree with

each other and as a whole,

present a coherent picture in which the Earth was created a long time ago .Further evidence comes from the full agreement between

radiometric dates and other dating methods such as

counting tree rings or glacier ice

core layers. Many Christians have led to                 distrust radiometric dating and are

completely unaware of the great number of                  laboratory measurements that have

shown these methods to be consistent. Many are

also unaware that Bible-

believing Christians are among those actively     involved in radiometric dating.
