My son is a Nuke on a US Navy submarine. If the decay rate of the uranium in it’s reactor core ever changes significantly he’s dead meat. If it slows down, they’re left without power. If it speeds up it will melt the containment. Should I tell him to get the hell off that boat?

No, because radioactive decay can only change when it is required to bolster a theological argument.

Yes, unless the scientists who built it are young earth creationists. Only then will he be fine.

they don't use rocks to propel navy subs,... that sub was developed based on known standards and mathematical processes that do not change and have been proven, not assumed.
