Creation science and the Institute for Creation Research discovered rapid nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes in rocks and errors in carbon 14 dating that indicate that a rapid decay of radioisotopes in rocks occurred at two different times in the past. Rapid radioisotope decay leaves a record in rocks in the form of either fission tracks or radio halos. Fission tracks are erased by high temperatures, so fission tracks only record recent events. Some of these rocks may or may not have been irradiated at the time of creation or the time of Noah's Ark, depending on the whether the assumption that the rocks came from flood areas or other areas is accurate. I don't believe there is any way of knowing how old a rock is, or when it was brought to the surface of the earth. Some radio halo-bearing rocks were found in rocks associated with fossils. Since animals would have been quickly buried and thus fossilized instead of decaying during a Great Flood, it is reasonable to assume the possibility that neutron bombardment may have occurred at the same time as the Great Flood. In RADIOISOTOPES AND THE AGE OF THE EARTH, Volume II – Results of a Young-Earth Creationist Research Initiative edited by Larry Vardiman, Andrew A. Snelling and Eugene F. Chaffin, Institute for Creation Research, El Cajon, CA and Creation Research Society, Chino Valley, AZ, 2006, these researchers clearly demonstrate that conventional radioisotope nuclear decay dating methods are accurate, with slight (millions of years out of billions of years) contradictions between alpha and beta nuclear decay measurements back to the time of the Biblical flood of Noah's Ark of Mt. Ararat and to the time of Biblical creation six thousand years ago. Creation science shows that helium production via radioactive isotope nuclear decay in these same rocks gives a discrepancy of millions to billions of years from conventional radioactive isotope nuclear decay measurements.

In 1982 Robert Gentry discovered high levels of radioisotope nuclear-decay-produced helium in zircons that may or may not have occurred about six thousand years ago. This shrinks the time scale of conventional dating down to the Biblical time of creation. Helium escapes so rapidly from crystals and rocks that all the helium in the earth would have escaped to the atmosphere in 8,000 years. Other rapid radioactive isotope nuclear decay phenomena discovered in rocks coincide with the time of the Flood carbon dating. This gives a scenario of rapid decay at the time of creation followed by normal decay rates, and a second radioisotope nuclear decay rate at the tome of the Great Flood with a return to normal radioactive isotope nuclear decay rates after the Flood. Excessive helium production events occurred at both of these times, which tends to confirm their assumption that the two times of rapid radioisotope decay occurred at the time of creation 1500 years before the pre-flood world, or at  two distinct times in history. 

Radioactive Carbon Should be Zero after 100,000 Years

A fourth proof, corresponding to problems with radioactive carbon dating is the residual in rocks that should be zero after 100,000 years but conventional scientists dismiss this as in situ contamination or faulty laboratory techniques as the reason. Residual ¹⁴C in diamonds refutes the contamination thesis. The faulty lab techniques argument is overcome by the Institute for Creation Research by AMS (accelerated mass spectrometry), which leaves a young earth as the only explanation.

With the Institute for Creation Research listing four different world-wide proofs of rapid radioactive isotope nuclear decay it turns out that the aging of rocks by conventional scientists is fairly accurate if these two events are taken into account. There is no evidence of atomic explosions that would produce these different rapid radioactive isotope nuclear decay pathways.

My H₂ atom model structure of atoms indicates that both creation and the flood are related to variations in pressure, temperature and ionization of radioactive isotopes resulting in rapid nuclear decay that must have occurred at those times.

Intelligent Design Theory should be taught in school and should not ignore the following facts: 1) Parent and daughter materials could not have had the same ratios in all mineral deposits on Day 1, especially if the elements of the earth coalesced randomly, as presupposed by secular scientists. 2) Distributions of radioisotopes and daughter material cannot have been uniform over the entire earth. 3) The rate of decay changes dramatically with changes in temperature and pressure. 4) Temperature and pressure could not have been uniform throughout the earth on Day One of creation.

Rapid changes in temperature and pressure not only occurred at the time of creation, but also there is evidence of enormous explosions from the center of the earth that occurred at the time of Noah's flood, such as mountains, meteors, dinosaurs and mammoths, fossils of all creatures mixed together in the Grand Canyon and Badlands Niagara Falls, radioactive isotope heat produced at the time of Noah's Flood  along with meteors returning to earth with earth-like bacteria in them. 5) Solar winds and solar radiation have changed both periodically and non-periodically with time.

Scientists are quick to believe in evolution by accepting natural selection as proof of evolution although natural selection does not prove change from one species to another. They are quick to accept gravity as the warping of space because the atmosphere of the sun bends the light of a star, the same as a prism. There is no reason for scientists to prevent the teaching in public schools of things that can be proven, such as high levels of rapid radioisotope nuclear-decay-produced helium in zircons, residual helium in rocks that should have escaped in 8,000 years, fission tracks and radio halos found in rocks, and residual ¹⁴C in rocks and diamonds that should be zero after 100,000 years. Therefore all secular scientists should know that creation science and the Institute for Creation Research discovered four proofs of rapid nuclear radioactive decay of radioactive isotopes that most likely occurred at the time of creation and Noah's Ark of Mt. Ararat and this explains the time frames of creation and the Great Flood as fitting unto radioactive isotope and carbon dating nuclear decay methods.

Vast changes in pressure and temperature occurred at the time of the flood and at the time of creation. Common sense tells us that radioisotope dating accurately goes back to the time of the flood, and then falsely indicates billions of years due to great changes in pressure and temperature. Then radioactive isotope dating goes back accurately to the time of creation six thousand years ago. But due to intense heat and temperature changes this dating method then falsely indicates billions of years, all of which happened over a seven-day period.
