Radio metric dating is a science based upon assumptions and presuppositions.

That is unless you have a rock with a date stamped on it by the original big bang as a specimen to calibrate your decay rate assumptions.

Here is a good link. Perhaps you could learn something about the subject before you grace us with your opinions:

Do you know what the decay rate of carbon was in 1850?
Do you know what the decay rate of uranium was in 30 AD?

I would expect not and anything you try to claim to bolster your argument will border on that of religion as it will take faith to believe that the way it is now is how it has always been.

It is unfortunate that education propagates unscientific thinking as such as to assume that everything is the same today as it was 1000 years ago.
