Actually radioactive decay is not constant
With the knowledge of this the question arises
If one thibg can affect decay why cant something else.something yet undiscovered?
So radioactive decay needs to be reassessed in order to be honest in your post
What say ats on the changes of decay rates?
Radioactive Decay Rates May Not Be Constant After All
In the meantime, it remains to be seen how these findings will affect the use of radioactive decay in technological applications. For example, if radioactive decay isn’t constant, then adjustments will have to be made for its use in dating materials, especially in the case of Carbon-14 dating. And doctors may need to look into adjusting radiation doses for cancer therapies, as they are, in part, based on radioactive decay rates.

But u can argue semantics all u want

I see u didnt read the article where they say it is not maybe it is
They just dont know what is causing it . Read again

Eta I appologize the correct wording is
"As it turns out, they probably arnt"
Still u are trying to ignore the science because it doesnt fit with the antireligious
"Look its been radioactivly dated"
try being a little intellectually honest
Eeta no it not invalid . It is inaccurate

Lets stick to the point
That point being if there can be one source of corruption in the system
Can there be others?
And they know its happening they just dont know why
If neutrinos cant interact but are ir if the is some unknown energy being put off by the sun
But I see you are all just trying to discount the findings
Just saying if theres one there may be more
And if I had told u ten years ago that the sun was changing decay rates I would have been flamed harder than I am. But the findings are in .

I never claimed it was scientific. Never claimed it was a field of science. I never even claimed my position on the subject other than to offer up the idea that people who are deeply involved in science, exploration, astrophysics and other fields are believers.

I have never said invalid
This is the second time
Inaccurate not invalid
How inaccurate?
I dont know nor do u
Are there other things affecting it we dont know about,?
Who knows
but the dates we get from our current understanding are
Wrong
The point I was making is, people with considered high intellect can and do believe in a higher being and/or higher order and similarly believe that this, our world and out universe, wasn't just the product of a "big bang" and it somehow fell into place. That there was a grand design and something we cannot comprehend, was and is responsible for it. Their intellect cannot accept there was "happenstance" and randomness to the magnificence they are witness to.

What exactly are you suggesting then, by saying that many scientists believe in god? I'm curious as to what point you were making.

If that was difficult to gain from my posts then I don't know what else to say.
