The evidence for grossly accelerated radioisotope decay during a past cataclysmic event such as the Genesis Flood has been well established.
PDF DownloadSince the amount of U and Pb mobility in most cases has been small, then the determinations can be used to provide useful relative ages.
PDF DownloadProblems remain in the interpretation of the measured Pb isotopic ratios to transform them into ages.
PDF DownloadWithout accurately known decay half-lives, all radioisotope ages cannot be accurately determined or be considered absolute ages.
PDF DownloadThe BioLogos Foundation published a popular-level article by old-earth geologists Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth presenting arguments for an old earth.
PDF DownloadDr. Snelling documents the methodology and history of determining present decay constants and half-lives of parent radioisotopes used for dating methods.
PDF DownloadA significant fraction of the earth’s radioactive elements, particularly uranium and thorium, appear to be in the granitic rock of the upper continental crust.
PDF DownloadThis contribution is designed to document the radioisotope dating data for groups of chondrites, stony achondrites, pallasites and mesosiderites, and irons.
PDF DownloadTerrestrial vertebrates close to the Flood fountains dissolved then precipitated out to form Precambrian-Cambrian sedimentary phosphate deposits.
PDF DownloadOver the last 80 years numerous determinations have been made of the 147Sm half-life.
PDF DownloadThis paper documents radioisotope dating for meteorites, achondrites, angrites, aubrites, mesosiderites, and irons to further discuss significance of the data.
PDF DownloadEvolutionists say the oldest human fossil, the Ledi jaw (LD 350-1), shows humans had evolved from ancestors like Lucy in East Africa 2.8 million years ago.
If the Re-Os dating method is calibrated against an uncertain “gold standard,” then it cannot be absolute and cannot be used to reject a young-earth timescale.
PDF DownloadExplore stunning evidence consistent with the young-earth model for the earth’s geomagnetic polarity reversal during the Flood and its aftermath.
This third paper documents the radioisotope dating data for more meteorites, so as to continue the discussion of the significance of these data.
PDF DownloadIf the Lu-Hf dating method has been calibrated against the U-Pb “gold standard” with its own uncertainties, then it cannot be absolute.
PDF DownloadIn spite of numerous attempts for over 60 years to determine the 87Rb half-life and decay constant, there is still no consensus.
PDF DownloadThis paper documents the radioisotope dating data for more meteorites, so as to continue the discussion of the significance of these data.
PDF DownloadMeteorites have been used to date the earth with a 4.55 ± 0.07 Ga Pb-Pb isochron called the geochron.
PDF DownloadThere is evidence for rapid granite formation during the Flood.
PDF DownloadDespite debate about the accuracy of the uranium “clocks” they contain, scientists say they’ve found a zircon with a confirmed age of 4.4 billion years.
Microbes, fully-functioning stromatolites, and even stromatolite reefs may have been created by God before Day Three of the Creation Week.
This article summarizes the purpose, history, and intermediate findings of the RATE project five years into an eight-year effort.
PDF DownloadAn astonishing discovery made over the past 20 years is that, almost without exception, organic samples from every portion of the Phanerozoic record show detectable amounts of 14C!
PDF DownloadAnswers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
