7: Relativity and the Age of Rocks

Diligent Bible believers insist that the world is only about 6,019 years old, that is 4004 BC date of creation, according to the works of James Ussher, added to AD 2016 and less the year for leaving out zero BC on our Julian Calendar. Evolutionists insist that it must have taken millions of years for dogs to evolve into Clydesdale horses, and lizards to evolve into bald eagles, i.e. since one cannot see such evolution occurring in our tiny little time frame, it surely must have taken millions of years of random chance. Atheistic evolutionists also KNOW that since it takes a million years for light to travel a million light years from the outer regions of space, then rocks must be millions of years old. This chapter is intended to add evidential trace to the creationists assertion that evolutionists are deceived, self deceivers, and some times outright liars. The primary purpose here is to provide additional insight as to how the evolutionists numbers can be so very wrong. Radioisotope dating methods are not the end-all authority that they are made out to be. For the Bible believer, the LORD God is our end-all authority, and he distinctively revealed that rocks are only 6,019 years old.
An article titled “Doesn't Radioisotope Dating Prove Rocks Are Millions of Years Old?” by Brian Thomas and John Morris, opens with this informative declaration:
Geologists do not directly measure the age of a rock. They choose rocks containing radioactive “parent” isotopes that emit particles and radiation to become a different “daughter” element and measure ratios of elements to their isotopes. Attempts to transform these ratios into dates are where this becomes problematic. Assigning a date requires that the rate at which the parent decays into the daughter element has been the same throughout the rock’s history. It is similar to assuming that the constriction in an hourglass has always been the same diameter, and the same number of sand grains passes every minute.
Radioisotope decay rates are renowned for constancy under normal conditions, so this assumption appears reasonable. But two observations and two clues omitted from physics textbook discussions of radio dating show that these radioisotope “clocks” are broken.1

The cloud of doubt about the radioactive dating of rocks is further exposed by consideration of relativity and its effects on radioactive dating methods.
RATE casts doubt on three radiometric assumptions
The acronym RATE is short for Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth. The eight year RATE project, supported by Answers in Genesis, The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and The Creation Research Society (CRS), demonstrated that conventional radioisotope dates are suspect and manipulated by atheistic evolutionists with an agenda. Excellent documentation of the work of these eight doctors is readily available in two volumes, “Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth - (Results of) A Young-Earth Creationist Research Initiative”2 both available from ICR and CRS who hold its 2000 and 2005 copyrights. There is also an excellent condensed version for non technical readers, “Thousands Not Billions, Challenging an Icon of Evolution Questioning the Age of the Earth”3 by Dr. Don DeYoung.
In the RATE work there is an initial assumption that on the microscopic level, God's creation of the Earth did not include an appearance of age. There has been a common explanation among creationists that since Adam was created with obvious age, rocks were likely created with an appearance of age. This argument was simple and forthright, but it was so vague that it left some inconsistency in the world of radioisotopes.
The RATE team instead cast doubt on three assumptions made for accurate radioisotope dating methods.4 First, the initial conditions of rocks are assumed to be known accurately. This assumption may be closely tied to the old argument about the appearance of age, but it is more precise. One cannot know the initial microscopic levels of isotopes when God spoke things into existence, but because of the RATE work it is in evidence that one cannot even know those levels when volcanic rocks are presently formed. In the study radioisotope dating often assigned ancient dates for volcanic rocks known to be very recent in origin.
The second assumption about radioisotope dating had to do with movement of isotopes through rocks. While the dating method assumes that samples closed off from the outside have not gained or lost any isotopes, RATE showed that rocks and minerals can undergo hydrothermal transport which effects the isotope levels. These changes directly effect the accuracy of the dating method.
The third assumption made for accurate radioisotope dating methods involves the constancy of nuclear half-lives. The idea that everything has always continued as it now does is called uniformitarianism and it has been preached by atheistic evolutionists since Charles Lyell (1797-1875) first outlined it for them in the 19th century. Lyell, a British geologist, opposed the idea that the universe has experienced cataclysmic changes, especially opposing those changes recorded by the LORD God in his Holy Bible. Radioisotope dating methods, to maintain any accuracy at all, relay on no changes in the nuclear half-lives of radioisotopes. It is a goal of this dissertation to use relativity considerations to expose a malady in this third assumption. Time, on the atomic level, and on any level, has proven to be relative, not displaying Lyell's required constancy. This effort wishes to explore more fully the RATE Volume 2 chapter of the report, “Accelerated Decay: Theoretical Considerations” by Eugene F. Chaffin, Ph.D.
Radioisotope Dating Methods
The radioisotope dating method relies on measuring how much of a radioactive material remains after it has undergone radioactive decay. Stories of nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants melting down to leave our planet a radioactive wasteland, need not come to mind when we consider radioisotopes. Radioactive materials are quite natural and all around us. Dr. DeYoung gives a brief history and overview of radioisotope dating,5 but here suffice it to say that radioactive materials decay and change from one element to another. The measure how much of the unstable element decayed into the stable element gives a measure of time like sand passing through an hourglass.
Radioactive decay is a pretty well understood activity in this 21st century. Most Americans have unwittingly acquainted themselves with it at the dentist when a technician dons a lead apron and instructs, “Don't move this will only take a second.” She then darts out of the room to turn on an X-ray machine. The dictionary describes the radon we were thus exposed to as, “noun, Symbol Rn, a colorless, radioactive, inert gaseous element formed by the radioactive decay of radium. It is used as a radiation source in radiotherapy and to produce neutrons for research. Its most stable isotope is Rn 222 with a half-life of 3.82 days. Atomic number 86; melting point –71°C; boiling point –61.8°C; specific gravity (solid) 4.”6 Radioactive decay is happening all around us, and is thought to be pretty well understood, but we are talking about things happening inside of the nucleus of an atom; an atom which was only demonstrated to truly exist by Neil Bohr in 1915. This effort will primarily concern itself with a radioactive isotopes half-life, and how it is used to date the age of rocks.
Potassium-40 is a common radioactive element used in radioisotope dating of rocks. In the nucleus of a Potassium-40 atom, there are 19 protons (via its atomic number), and 21 neutrons, to give it an atomic mass of 40; it is abnormal, and actually called an isotope, because Potassium normally has an atomic mass of 39. If one of the protons in its nucleus somehow absorbs an electron and changes to a neutron, it turns into a noble gas called Argon-40. Argon normally has this atomic mass of 40, and has an atomic number of 18, which is the number of protons in this newly created nucleus. That proton turning to into a neutron bursts out a blast of gamma radiation. That proton mysteriously turning into a neutron is also a very poorly understood aspect of God's creation and God's hand in the matter continuum's consisting.
If one has a measure of this Potassium-40, an isotope of Potassium, half of it miraculously changes to Argon-40 over a period of time called its half-life. The half-life for Potassium-40 is 1.25 billion years. If one watched our measure of Potassium-40 for 1.25 billion years they would find that exactly half of it changed to Argon-40. If they then watched it for another 1.25 billion years the remaining half measure would be halved again and there would be a quarter measure of Potassium-40 left, and three quarter measure of Argon-40 produced. That is a very simple explanation without all the consideration of gamma radiation, alpha particles and beta particles flying around.
Why only half of the parent element is transformed into the daughter element in any half-life period of time, is quite a mystery. It does not matter the measure that you start with, a pound, an ounce, a ton or a microgram, precisely half of it miraculously changes into the daughter element. As Georgia State University states it:
The radioactive half-life for a given radioisotope is a measure of the tendency of the nucleus to "decay" or "disintegrate" and as such is based purely upon that probability. The tiny nuclear size compared to the atom and the enormity of the forces which act within it make it almost totally impervious to the outside world. The half-life is independent of the physical state (solid, liquid, gas), temperature, pressure, the chemical compound in which the nucleus finds itself, and essentially any other outside influence. It is independent of the chemistry of the atomic surface, and independent of the ordinary physical factors of the outside world.7

That is some of the miracle of God's creation of matter where his hand causes all things to consist. It is thus His hand that is on the hourglass of time for all radioisotope dating. Suffice it to say that numerous samples of radioactive decay have been observed, particularly those with much smaller half-lives than Potassium-40, and the mysterious half-life time period is uniformly expected for all radioactive decay.
Consider again the three huge assumptions which the RATE study maligned. One does not actually know the initial Potassium-40 and Argon-40 percentages. It could be that some Argon-40 was initially present which did not come from degrading Potassium-40. One must ASSUME the initial levels were all Potassium-40 and no Argon-40. Also, one does not actually know if the some parent element (Potassium-40) or of the daughter element (Argon-40) came into, or expelled out of the sample by some sort of thermal transport. Lastly, we are ASSUMING that a half life is constant and could not somehow be accelerated. There are several things which might account for this change of time in an isotopes half-life, not the least of which is the topic exposed in this dissertation, time is relative.
Relativity Changes Atomic Clocks
The atomic clock is so accurate that it is now the standard for all. In 1967 the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado set the oscillatory frequency of the atomic transition of the cesium, C-133 atom as the perfect standard of the second. From now on 1 second = 9,192, 631,770 cycles of the standard Cs-133 transition. Prior to this the second was based on the orbital period of the Earth, “but the cesium clock period was found to be much more stable than the Earth's orbit!”8
This atomic clock standard is so accurate in measuring the Earth's orbit that the “leap second” was devised to make up for the decay and slow down of the Earth. According to the BBC news, the leap second is added to the last minute of June, but the Earth's orbit is so irregular, compared to the atomic clock, that the leap second is announced at quite irregular intervals.9 Adding this leap second at such irregular intervals causes all kinds of consternation in networked computer systems. I suppose this might be futile ground for conspirator conspiratorists who love to predict the end of the world with Y2K10 type concerns.
Consider here, that if the atomic clock is sensitive to Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, and its ever changing of clock tics, then so to is the radio active decay that happens at the atomic level of God's creation. Indeed the cesium clock, and all atomic clocks, change their clicks according to Einstein's theories.
Cesium Clock Measures Relativity Time Changes
The atomic clock works because of the quantum energy jumps of electrons in the outer orbital shell of the atom. These outer shell electrons are called valence electrons. Cesium in a crystal has valence electrons that resonate at a very consistent frequency. It can thus be used as a very accurate oscillator to measure time very very accurately.
One can imagine that two extremely accurate atomic clocks might be synchronized together, sent off on vehicles with differing relative motions, and then brought back together to see if there was a variance in time on either clock. A dilation of time which followed Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, could demonstrate the validity of his theory. Just such an experiment was set up in 1971. It was undertaken by the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington DC.
Georgia State University11 reported the results of this Hafele and Keating Experiment as follows:
During October, 1971, four cesium atomic beam clocks were flown on regularly scheduled commercial jet flights around the world twice, once eastward and once westward, to test Einstein's theory of relativity with macroscopic clocks. From the actual flight paths of each trip, the theory predicted that the flying clocks, compared with reference clocks at the U.S. Naval Observatory, should have lost 40+/-23 nanoseconds during the eastward trip and should have gained 275+/-21 nanoseconds during the westward trip ... Relative to the atomic time scale of the U.S. Naval Observatory, the flying clocks lost 59+/-10 nanoseconds during the eastward trip and gained 273+/-7 nanosecond during the westward trip, where the errors are the corresponding standard deviations. These results provide an unambiguous empirical resolution of the famous clock "paradox" with macroscopic clocks.12

This was profound; it demonstrates Albert Einstein's theories of relativity in a conceivable fashion. It also seizes on the fact that these theories of relativity operate on the atomic level. Time dilation, from relativity, operates on the atomic level and alters what is going on inside of a cesium atom. There is no reason to doubt that it also alters what is going on in the radioactive decay of the Potassium-40 atom. Radioisotopes which undergo various relative velocities, experience accelerations, rotations, or changes in gravity have their clock rates adjusted by the theories of relativity.
Radioactivity, Relativity, The Flood and the Age of Rocks
The radiometric dating methods used to estimate the age of rocks has a notable singularity around the time of the flood, and the dilation of time due to relativity multiplies the uncertainty of these dating methods. The RATE work used radiohalos to highlight the singularity.13 A singularity is a trait marking one singular, as distinct from others. It points out a peculiarity, signifying something uncommon or unusual. The RATE work also eluded to the dangerous assumptions in relying on radiometric dating methods to suppose millions of years of uniformitarianism.14 Relativity, and its dilation of time, was not factored into the RATE team's excellent prognosis, but it certainly casts substantially more doubt onto the atheistic evolutionist's ability to date the age of rocks with any accuracy.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him (Psalm 2:10-12).

To be certain it is best to put trust in the Son of God, and heed what he has said about the age of the Earth. No matter what the atheistic evolutionists theorize about the age of the universe or the age of rocks, their suppositions are clouded in doubt. The Bible believer's suppositions are grounded in the truth of an inerrant, infallible, verbally inspired Bible, trust the Creator, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son, on these things.

Figure 16 (7-1)
Figure 16 (7-1) DeYoung's Table 5-1 Data in a Bar Chart
The singularity concerning the age of rocks around the time of the flood has not, heretofore been fully exposed. The geological changes that happened just prior to, all during, and immediately after God's miraculous and human damning flood, cannot be fully known; nor can the meteorology, the astrology, or the radiology. There have been noteworthy hypotheses presented, but the flood had a notable effect on all of God's universe. The RATE studies clearly showed this singularity in Dr. DeYoung's Table 5-1.15 That data comes alive more profoundly in the figures below.
Figure 17 (7-2)
Figure 17 (7-2) DeYoung's Table 5-1 Data in a Stacked Bar Chart
There is little hope of denying that God's flood had a profound effect on every aspect of his universe. Here changes in radioactive decay are in the limelight and time dilation caused by relativity are certainly part of these changes. Rocks undergoing massive accelerations as the fountains of the great deep were broken up (Gen 7:11, Prov 8:28), might activate relativity changes that we cannot know. We are just now beginning to fathom the time warps caused by relativity. An accelerated radioactive decay that RATE research has exposed may certainly be part of an operating relativity time dilation.
The age of rocks can be supposed by atheistic evolutionists using their principle of uniformatarianism and radiometric dating of rocks. Their results are convoluted at best. All of their findings are based on a belief system, not on the practice of a rigorous science. Any of their findings need not shake the faith, stir the reproach, nor reduce the compassion of the Bible believer who has a hold on God's truth. Jesus said “I am the truth” (John 14)
There is a myriad of creation research available to the believer and it shows overwhelming evidence of this convoluted reasoning of the atheistic evolutionist. Marvin Lubenow displays their uncertainty through their failings in the fossil record. In his article “The Dating Gap” he states:
Human evolution demands precise dating of the relevant fossils. Evolutionists now admit that the dates for the human fossils in the significant Middle Stone Age period and elsewhere are uncertain. It means that there is no such thing as a legitimate evolutionary fossil sequence leading to modern humans. It also means that evolutionists cannot make accurate statements regarding the origin of modern humans based on fossils discovered thus far. Their continuing to do so reveals that their statements are based on a belief system, not on the practice of a rigorous science.16

The dilemma that Bible believers are faced with, in light of all this evidence, is that science-so-called will not back away from their unbelief. In 1974 Dr. Morris published overwhelming evidence of their malady in his book “Scientific Creationism.”17 His effort publicly and emphatically declared that “Their Emperor has no clothes!” It is well attested in the 1985 forward to the second edition that, in their specific areas, many scientists admitted to the malady in their little corner of the evolutionary kingdom. But the construction of the kingdom went on unabated, and today, it is formidable. The purest logic of the argument does not change minds or lives, God does.
A Bible believer can be versed in the truth, but always remembering that it is God's verse that changes lives. A ready apologetic is essential in this battle, but it is the foolishness of preaching that will sway the individual. The Apostle Paul puts this perspective in a paragraph:
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men (1Cor 1:17-25).

The Institute for Creation Research has repeatedly tried to persuade men without clubbing them over the head with the Bible, as they say. They have presented the very best of research, logic, and argument. Unfortunately when they do pick up a Bible, it is a compromised, ecumenical, modernist, copyright one. Hitting one over the head with that is like using a Nerf18 Bat. The Bible believer is herein encouraged to pursue the very best research, logic, and argument, but never lay down their sword or use its two edges as a club. “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Heb 4:12).
Why Bother About the Age of Rocks
Creationists have much researched and documented the incredulous claims made by atheistic evolutionists concerning the age of rocks. Their writings are emphatic, evolutionists are deceived and very deceiving when it comes to the age of rocks being millions and billions of years. It is reported via the Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship, “The most convincing data in the RATE book is the discordance between dating methods (same rock, different isotopes), and the fact that rocks of known age give isochrone ages with discrepancies of millions of years.” Works by these accomplished creationists, are only highlighted in this effort, however, they are substantial. Again, giving the remarks of Bill Browning of Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship:
Before you leave radioisotope dating, you would be remiss if not covering the flip-side of rock dating, called the “helium” age, which was the quintessential RATE finding. A Billion years worth of alpha particles (which become He atoms) generated by Uranium-to-lead decay was discovered in zircons mined from granitic biotite. The diffusion rate of the Helium was measured, and showed that the zircon crystals would not retain much Helium: In fact, the measured diffusivity agrees with a 6,000 year-old age for the host granite. From this data, the RATE scientists concluded there had to have been a rapid decay event which released the He in a short period of time. Thus, the assumption of constant decay rate postulated for radioisotope dating methods is false.
It is asserted here, as in the aforementioned works of creationists, that atheistic evolutionists have fudged all their dating methods by millions of years. This mass produced fudge is necessary to sustain their ongoing belief that natural forces evolved life with no Supernatural involvement. That is not to say they are all conspiring to change the facts, but to recognize “we all filter data through a grid of prior assumptions.”19 So too, the Bible believing creationist has a-prior assumption, it is just that we are upfront and honest about ours. Atheistic evolutionists have taught children from their youth that bald eagles evolved from lizards, and that rocks are billions of years old. These children are now adult scientists taking rock samples and doing the radiometric dating. One dares to presume that they have a strong bias and a “grid of prior assumptions.” These also must needs reject God's world flood which happened only 4,563 year ago.20 Rejection of these Bible discerned facts has been trained into atheistic evolutionists since their youth. It also resonates well with man's depravity. God says:
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes (Rom 3:10-18).

That sounds, pretty harsh on the atheistic evolutionist. Always remember that it is a description of the Bible believer's sorry caucus as well, “but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God” (1Cor 6:11).
There does not, however, seem to be a pending collapse of the house of cards built by atheistic evolutionist. The world has gone after their deceit and found it more comfortable than a Creator who will one day be their judge. Religion, also, is more comfortable with the lie than with God's truth. The 2015 visit of the Roman Pope sought to endorse evolution with its big bang, socialism with its war on poverty, and global warming efforts attempting to shut down fossil fuel industries to reduce a carbon footprint. Pope or Protestant, they lead a path straight down the progressive liberal's evolutionary highway.
Some creationists have become optimistic about the soon coming collapse of evolutionary theory. They realize that all the evidence is on the creationists side, but it was our Lord Jesus Christ who said, “As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man” (Lu 17:26). The depravity of man will not allow the collapse of the atheistic evolutionary rebellion against the Creator. We labor, then for individual souls. Souls who have been taught evolution from their youth. They need to get a glimpse of the great lie they have been told before they can hear the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In 1Cor 5 the Apostle Paul gives three reason why we labor (vr. 9): 1) “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (5:10), 2) “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men” (5:11), 3) “For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead” (5:14). “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation” (5:17-18). Labor over theories of relativity, over radioisotopes, and over the truth of the six-day creation because sincere Bible believers are to be reconcilers, not compromisers, but reconcilers.
