There is good evidence from helium retention in zircons and other phenomena that there has been a recent burst of inorganic radioisotope decay within the past few thousand years that would largely explain the old 'dates' found using these techniques. (Cf. http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/nab/does-radiometric-dating-prove) This would also explain the absence of most short-life isotopes, which has been used as an argument against a young earth.

I've read that analysis. It was a limited sample, and the analysis failed to take a number of variables into account. Your criteria for what constitutes "good" evidence seem highly questionable.

We've invited, asked and cajoled evolutionists to repeat the experiments and publish the results themselves. I encourage you to do so or ask others in the right line of work to do so.
