Actually, you are gauging by various amounts of radioactivity which you claim has remained constant over millions of years with nothing effecting it...That is a delusion, let alone an illusion

Theories of radioactive decay are well-proven. Try again.

I'm a skeptic about this because I have to take someone elses' word for it. Have you worked with this process yourself and observed radioactive decay, or do you believe it has been proven because textbooks have "explained" it? Do you think our observance of radioactive decay is subject to any underlying assumptions that may be false?

Again, I view a good many things with skepticism, particularly in view of the FACT that science has yet to precisely identify what are time, light, energy, space, and matter. Do you really think we all should swallow someone's version of the history of the universe as "scientific" when a jury in our day and age can't even convict OJ?

No, they only show semi-constant rates of decay, not proven over millions of years.

The only thing you can prove is what the ratio is of one material to another, you cannot prove how much material the object started with and in what quanties or portions or places

All you can PROVE is what you have right now.
