4	The Age Issue Evolution requires long periods of time Some Christians have accepted evolution Effect is to degrade reliability of Scripture Is the earth really old?
5	Assumptions Of Radioisotope Dating No initial concentration of daughter element Constant decay rate Closed system
6	RATE Hypotheses Accelerated decay has occurred during Creation, at the Curse, and during the Flood. Some daughter elements may be primordial. Radioactive processes have produced evidence of accelerated decay.
