What does this fallacious claim have to do with anything?
Remember that absolute dating methods have really come into being since the discovery of radioactivity by Bequerel in 1896 I believe. For an interesting read check out the Time Machine. It was written by Wells in 1895. The book has the time traveler going to the ends of time, which back then was estimated to be 30My in the future. The understanding of nuclear processes that was to come shortly changed the estimate by showing there was a power source greater than chemical activity.

Well, that sucks. I guess apocalypse is an early present, then.
I believe there is a much more accurate dating system available today. Science refuses to use it because that would create too many holes in our current version of History, that they would not be able to deny.
I never date things.
If you are talking about the way the brain operates when we experience time, then I agree. After all, history is merely illusion as much as me sitting here writing this and even Stereo, you and I are constructs of illusion.
