Blinded Tests?
Of course, this implies that there is NO true correlation among radiometric data and that correlations are merely forced somehow...not necessarily on a conscious level...but rather the product of deeply ingrained and systemic circular reasoning.
If any creationist organizations really believed this they would invest some time and money in showing that it is the case.
All they need to do is arrange for carefully controlled samples to be taken using all the correct geological procedures. These samples can be labeled in a way which would not allow the testing labs to know the source of them but would be trackable by an independent organization. The correlations would then not be present if this idea is correct.
Since these organizations would claim to have a huge interest in proving dating wrong (it would stop the teaching of moral destroying science and save America from the heather, etc) the effort would be well worth while.
However, what can we infer from the lack of such controlled testing?
I think you should consider that.
