• Radioisotope dating is used by scientists to date rocks.
• According to biology textbooks, scientists have determined that the earth is at least 4.5 billion years old by using radioisotope testing.
• In 1997, the RATE (Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth) group of eight research scientists determined that all of the rocks analyzed were no more than 6,000 +- 2000 years. The conventional age for the rocks measured has been 1.5 billion years and older.
• The radioisotope findings reported in biology textbooks assume a constant rate of nuclear decay. However, nuclear decay occurs at a grossly accelerated rate when molten rocks are forming, crystallizing and cooling.
• The RATE group sent volcanic rocks from Mount Nagaurahoe, New Zealand that were formed from eruptions in 1949, 1954 and 1975 to a respected commercial laboratory in Cambridge, MA. This laboratory, using radioisotope dating determined that the rocks were .27 to 3.5 million years old. The actual age of the rocks were less than 70 years old!
