Potassium Argon Dating doesnt work at all

Philip accuses mainstream geologists of making such presuppositions as the elements forming after the Big Bang and the speed of light being constant.However, the origin of the elements is an entirely separate question, and Philip ought to show how radioactive-decay rates depend on the speed of light. Yes, that means all radioactive-decay rates, including alpha decay, spontaneous fission, beta decay, and electron capture.Alpha-like and beta-like decays happen by very different mechanisms, and their rates depend on several fundamental constants, so it would take a rather big miracle for all of them to vary in exact proportion.

Kyle Shockley has claimed that radiometric ages are found by selecting those that fit into the ages derived from evolutionary relationships among the fossils.However, he does not tell us how those ages are derived.Fossils are used as markers of rocks, since the various species live over well-defined spans of geological time. This is entirely independent of what is descended from what, and those who first worked out the geological column had believed that the various fossil species were separate creations over geological time.The inferred ordering, that lower is older than upper, is inferred from the order of deposition of sediments: older before younger. It is consistent with the orientation of features like footprints, mud cracks, in situ tree stumps, etc.Enter radioisotope dating. It gives dates in the right order, and dates that are consistent across methods and stratigraphically-determined layers.If radioactive-decay rates vary by significant amounts, they must vary in exact lockstep across nuclides, which is asking a bit much.
