:::::[[Entropy]] is one reason why.  Perpetual machines are impossible for the same reason.  Lower energy is another reason.  Friction is pertinent to continental drift.  There are many manifestations of the basic phenomenon.  It's silly for Old Earthers to pretend it doesn't exist.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:09, 25 June 2009 (EDT)

::::::What does entropy have to do with this? I think AddisonDM is correct. If you are going to make broad assertions about continental drift and deny that the rate of decay of uranium is not constant you are going to have to provide justification for your statements. You did not do it yet. There are problems with carbon dating but the constancy of the decay rate of uranium is not one of them. [[User:Lexfundamen|Lexfundamen]] 13:34, 25 June 2009 (EDT)

:::::::The burden is on those who claim the decay rate was always constant.  Prove it.  Given that perpetual motion machines are impossible (do you doubt that?), the claim is implausible.  The rates for everything else (as cite above) have obviously changed over time, and there is no reason to think that the decay rate is forever unchanged.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:58, 25 June 2009 (EDT)
