Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth A Young-earth Creationist Research Initiative
El Cajon, California / St. Joseph, Missouri: Institute for Creation Research, 2000. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover with Dust Jacket.
A MAJOR CREATIONIST RESEARCH PROJECT CHALLENGING RADIOISOTOPE DATING.
Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth presents the findings of the RATE (Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth) research initiative, a multi-year project undertaken by researchers associated with young-earth creationist organizations to examine the assumptions and methods behind conventional radioisotope dating.
The work addresses the scientific evidence commonly used to support an ancient age for the Earth and presents an alternative interpretation based on a young-earth creationist framework. The editors and contributors examine geological dating methods, radioactive decay, isotope systems, and related questions in an effort to evaluate whether radioisotope evidence can be reconciled with a young-earth model.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Illustrated hardcover. 9.25 inches tall. 676 pages. Illustrated throughout with scientific charts, diagrams, tables, and drawings. Includes extensive technical discussions, research findings, references, and supporting material. First Edition, First Printing.
CONDITION: New No Flaws or Blemishes; Gift Quality.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: CREATIONIST SCIENCE AND THE DEBATE OVER GEOLOGICAL TIME.
The RATE project represents one of the most extensive organized research efforts within the young-earth creationist movement to address the scientific evidence traditionally used to support deep geological time.
This volume documents the project’s examination of radioisotope dating methods and presents arguments that radioactive decay evidence can be interpreted within a young-earth framework. The authors specifically focus on questions surrounding assumptions, decay rates, geological evidence, and alternative explanations for isotope data.
SUBJECTS: Radioisotope Dating, Earth Age Debate, Young-Earth Creationism, Geology, Nuclear Physics, Creation Science, Scientific Method, History of Science, Science and Religion, Creationism, Religious Studies, Geology, Scientific Controversy, Reference.
