I'm still waiting for ICANT or some other creationist to enlighten us on which assumptions they are having problems with.
I highly doubt they are coming. Neither ICANT nor Faith have ever insisted on any particular answer to radiometric. ICANT is not YEC anyway and in general has no opposition to old ages. He does have some goofy beliefs about the earth being much smaller during the time of the flood...

Re: Bump (again) for creationist input
This guy is stupid. That's not an ASSUMPTION.

To determine the origin of something, we must refer to eye-witness accounts (aka historical evidence) because science is limited on what it can determine.
That's right. No point in running DNA tests to determine paternity. We must refer only to eye-witness accounts of penis depositing sperm into vagina.
Yeah, quite stupid.

Seems to me if its clear that certain things that require ancient dates couldn't possibly be true, we are on our way to throwing out all those ancient dates on the basis of the actual evidence. -- Faith

Re: his really stupid "Questions"
It might be worthwhile also pointing out that the amount of 14C produced has absolutely no significance when looking at 14C decay.
The production rate is important because we cannot do dating without establishing that the C14/C12 ratio was when the object died or otherwise stop exchanging carbon with the atmosphere. You cannot just ignore the production rate and the production history for that matter.

Re: his really stupid "Questions"
Not really. Unless the crazy electric universe folk can show that their fields selectively effect 14C and 12C differently the ratios would still be the same
The effect is well documented, known, and compensated for. It's been discussed here on any number of occasions.

Re: Questions
The EU, Answers in Genesis, Reasons to Believe, and other organizations have scientist working for them.
"Scientist" is a title. Not everything a scientist does is science. If what someone is "doing" is not a process of investigation by testing hypotheses based on observation and data collecting, and then rejecting, modifying, or correcting those hypotheses in a manner in which their work is reviewable by other scientists, then they are not doing science.
If you want to point to specific work done by those organizations, then let's discuss it. But nobody is going to accept your claim that a scientist, who may not even be working in his field of expertise, is doing science because of their title. Show us the work.

Re: Questions
Halton Arp showed red shift does not point to Inflation, distance, etc. This does effect dating.
I am familiar with Arp's work. Yes, Arp is a scientist and did scientific work. But Arp's work is not the be all and end all. His results were peer-reviewed, his analysis debunked and his results discarded long ago.
So no, Arp hasn't shown what you claim. You are citing Arps's interpretation of his data but the more recent data shows clearly that Arp was wrong. If you'd like to discuss this in a fuller fashion, I'm game. But as of 2007 or so, there is no credible evidence for quantized red shifts and no indication that known large red shift values are associated with nearby objects.

Re: Questions
He was not debunked. He was debated. And it depends on who you listen to as to whether or not he is supported. Probability is not assigned by popular support.
And neither is the truth established by you claiming that someone is right and ignoring the rebuttals in the literature. Not debates, actual analysis of the mistakes Arp makes. Anytime you want to have a real discussion, let me know by actually posting the details of Arp's claims.

Re: Questions
Another Pb isotope, Pb6+
That is an ionic state and not an isotopic state. Any isotope of lead might be in that state.
