Potassium Argon Dating doesnt work at all

Radiometric content is content, nothing more. It is only by uniforitarian assumption and model that we assign isotopic content an age due to assumed uninterupted process. The age model was erected by Lyell, father of uniformitarianism (to a degree). But, as the above article shows, if interpretations based upon his model of stratigraphy are shown by the evidence to be in error, and our current age models are based upon his assumptions, doesn't that put an amount of contingency on the ages we assign to isotopic content from samples that come from those same stratigraphic layers?

At first glance it may seem circular, especially when deliberately presented that way. However, science uses many different non-radiometric methods to corroborate radiometric dates. Historical records, tree rings, ice cores, and varves are all examples.

Notice the very bottom photo. "Fine layering was produced within hours at Mt St Helens on June 12, 1980 by hurricane velocity surging flows from the crater of the volcano. The 25-foot thick (7.6 m), June 12 deposit is exposed in the middle of the cliff. It is overlain by the massive, but thinner, March 19, 1982 mudflow deposit, and is underlain by airfall debris from the last hours of the May 18, 1980, nine hour eruption." Decide for yourselves gentlemen.

Once again we see the classic creationist fallacy of exhibiting one interesting anomaly and inferring the invalidation of all the combined research of thousands over centuries. Do you have any detailed analysis of this sediment that shows scientific methods producing more than a cursory resemblance to formations that we believe to be older?

So your only substantial answer to my question is to make fun of a word choice? Despite your accusation, the fact is that I have no faith distracting me from the facts of this issue. I don't follow a religion, I follow information and ideas. If you have any information that would affect the current discussion of radiometric dating, go ahead and post them and we'll talk about their validity. However, if all you have is drive-by condescension and a tiresome whack at the worn-out creationist strawman of uniformitarianism, then you're just making your own flock look bad.
