I used to be a Creationist and point out obvious errors in Radio Dating 
results.  Eventually, I was forced to conclude that errors here or there in 
various methods do not contradict the essential point that radioactive decay is 
an extremely reliable phenomena taken as an aggregate.

I found it dishonest to point out different potential defects in different 
dating methods while ignoring the whole of the subject.  Eventually, I was 
forced to conclude that there must be something wrong with radioactive decay 
rates themselves - to save my faith.

While I am still somewhat skeptical about such rates,  the burden is on 
Fundamentalists to come up with a radically different version of physics that 
allows for such variability.  I think C-14 rates have been generally correlated 
with Egyptian history.

Actually, if you think about it,  if Fundamentalists could demonstrate a 
convenient method of upsetting such decay rates, it would radically upset the 
world as the equivalent of 'free energy'.
