How can you ask for a link to the RATE Study? This was a study done by the YEC/ID flagship organization, The Discovery Institute, and is widely known and available in just a simple search without even trying hard. Are you really that incapable?
Don't answer that. It was rhetorical. We already know the answer.
Let me save you the intense labor of having to actually click on a link. I'll give you the RATE Groups conclusions.
This is taken verbatim from the RATE Groups final report:
quote:
After careful study and due contemplation we must conclude that the scenario of accelerated radioactive decay is total bullshit. We tested every scenario we could pull out of our butts to find a solution but there just isn't one.
The amount of heat produced in any attempt to cram 500 million years worth of natural radioactive decay into the one year of The Flud under even the most idiotic scenario we could derive is just too fucking great. The heat would be so tremendous over the entire globe that not only would all the oceans boil away along with every other drop of water but all the rocks, all of them, would melt and the whole surface of Earth would be a flat cauldron of lava bubbling away like a pot of slow-boiling soup. No mountains, no hills, no rocks, no 2-of-every-kind or seven-of-every-clean-kind depending upon which genesis myth you care to believe, no Noah, no Noah's family, no Noah's ark, no nothing!
However, we are religious idiots and believe in the literal infallible creation myths of the one and only version of the true Bible that we use and must therefor conclude that God had to have magiced all the heat away somehow because without that there is no fucking way accelerated radioactive decay could have happened.
