If you want to "doubt" these, you need to 1) propose an alternative system, other than gee, my position would be so much easier to defend if x were so, and 2) you need to show that there's actual evidence that your alternative system is in fact taking place.
Otherwise you're just wishing up a tree.
Wrong. The initial proportions of isotopes are based on evidence from meteorites and not from the earth itself. There are processes which can cause the depletion of material other than radioactive decay. It is known that decay rates do vary.
Before we go down these rabbit holes, you have read the OP by Cali which addresses some of this, right? I mean, I wouldn't want to go around on something that's already been cleared up ...
And I'm sure you have some peer-reviewed science to support your claims, right?
I don't dispute the math. I dispute the assumptions. And, yes, I do have peer-reviewed articles in support of my skepticism.
