You have no way to date the fossils. I know you don't and you will whine and attack and try to bluff.
It is also true that there is no way anyone can prove specifically all the creatures alive during Adam. it is faith.

LOL. Okay. You're smoking crack again. You've had enough.
Fossils can be dated
relatively by their position in the geologic column. Older fossils will appear below and younger fossils on top.
Of course, the earth moves a bit over the course of millions of years so you can have features like
overthrusts so you have to pay attention to the larger picture around you. And stay sober and clean from "junk."
The geologic layers themselves can be dated reliably within certain ranges by a number of techniques. Despite fanciful attempts of Young Earth Creationists to discredit this science, no one who has ever studied radiology or nuclear isotopes seriously doubts the results.
The only way to alter the decay rates is to fuse the atoms (nuclear fusion, like at the core of the sun). It's pretty apparent that the earth's surface has not been exposed to that kind of heat since it formed.
