3. A definitive resource on radioactive dating for every scientist’s library, whether evolutionist or creationist. It examines radioisotope theory, exposes its plaguing problems, and offers a better alternative.

4. The Age Issue Evolution requires long periods of time Some Christians have accepted evolution Effect is to degrade reliability of Scripture Is the earth really old?

5. Assumptions Of Radioisotope Dating No initial concentration of daughter element Constant decay rate Closed system

6. RATE Hypotheses Accelerated decay has occurred during Creation, at the Curse, and during the Flood. Some daughter elements may be primordial. Radioactive processes have produced evidence of accelerated decay.

10. Helium Diffusion Rates by D. Russell Humphreys, Ph.D.

11. Helium Experiments Give Nuclear Evidence for a Young World. RATE project “1.5 billion years” of nuclear decay occurred between 4,000 and 8,000 years ago.

12. Tiny “Zircon” Crystals in the Earth’s Continental Crust Are Radioactive. 0.02 inch Contain Uranium and Thorium atoms

51. Morphological Word Study Statistical comparison of narrative (literal) to poetic (allegorical) passages Frequency of preterite, imperfect, and perfect verb forms Passages in Exodus 14 & 15, Judges 4 & 5, Genesis 1:1–2:3, Psalm 104, and the Flood Highly statistically significant differences in frequencies between narrative and poetic

54. David and Goliath “I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand. That all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. The LORD saveth not with sword and spear. The battle is the LORD’s. He will give you into our hands.” I Samuel 17: 45–47
