The age of the earth stands out as one of the most important issues amoung Christians today! An old-earth interpretation clouds our view on the accuracy of Scripture. It supports the theory of evolution. It affects our perception of God. If Scripture can’t be trusted on the age of the earth, how can it be trusted on others? But, have we been misled about the reliability of radioactive dating methods? The RATE group believes we have. The RATE group, consisting of six young-earth creationist geologists, geochemists, and physicists, is cooperating to research the issue of Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth. They have dared to ask the tough questions and are searching for an alternative explanation for the billions of years found in rocks. They are asking questions like:
- Why don’t dating methods agree — what is the source of the discordance?
- What about the lead found in rocks — did it all come from uranium?
- Where did all the decay-produced helium go — did it escape to the atmosphere or is it still trapped in the rocks?
- Can accelerated decay explain the abundance of daughter products?
- Do nuclear decay rates change — is it theoretically possible?
- Can inheritance and mixing from primordial reservoirs of argon, helium, and other end products during Creation and the Flood explain the apparent old ages?
- What about nature`s tiny mystery, the halos of polonium and uranium? How did they form and when? What about fission tracks?
- Can halos and fission tracks tell us something about the history of radioactive decay on the earth?
These and many other questions are addressed in this book. The RATE scientists are working to solve the radioisotope riddle. This book “sets the stage” for their five-year research initiative on Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth. A second book is scheduled for the end of the research phase in 2005 to report on their findings.

Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth, Vol. 2
The popular old-earth interpretation of scientific evidence clouds our view of the accuracy of Scripture and has become a stumbling block to many. But have we been misled about the reliability of radioactive dating methods?

Thousands … Not Billions
Evolutionists seek to undermine faith in Genesis as the true history of the universe by stating “facts” that don’t square with the biblical record. This presentation demonstrates that Christians no longer have to puzzle over these glaring contradictions.
