Re: Geology is irrelevant; try addressing the topic.
Do you consider simple denial to be holding up your end of the discussion?
Don't forget obfuscation, misdirection, misrepresentation, cherry-picking, and flat out making things up!

Re: Uniformity assumptions...
All I have at this stage is a likely mechanism that would logically effect the rate of decay.
All you have at this stage is a belief that science is wrong.
I do not know enough about the process...
You should have stopped right there.

Who's fooling who?
Do posters familiar with geology find mindspawns statements about the Mississippi just as ridiculous as I find his nuclear chemistry?
Yes, and I'm not sure about how to attack this.
I find mindspawn's objections to radiocarbon dating probably even more ridiculous than you find his comments in your fields.
When one has no clue about a scientific matter it is not wise to try to fake it as there are a lot of people out there who know these particular subjects.
Mindspawn claims he doesn't get his information from creationist websites, and I believe him! Most of them, as bad as they are, are a good deal more rational than he is.
I can't imagine that mindspawn thinks he can fool anyone with the arguments he has come up with. It is clear that he is fooling himself, somehow, but I can't believe he's fooling anyone else -- and perhaps he doesn't really need to. Most likely he just needs to fool himself.
