::::::::::::: As for number 2, I really don't know enough to discuss it further! But you say for number 1, "I expect faster motion when the energy is higher and/or the time is closer to the starting point." If your starting point is a few thousand years ago, the astronomical speeds for continetal drift that you require cannot be adequately explained by any existing model. That is, perhaps the rate was faster in the past, but it could hardly have been fast enough for a young Earth that began with a single supercontinent.

::::::::::::I think what you may be missing is that radioactive decay rates are not fundamental constants. They are derived from quantum mechanics, based upon the fundamental constants themselves. So the slightest change in a decay rate could only be caused by variations in the fundamental constants, which we know to be impossible as God fine-tuned the constants to allow the planets, etc. to exist at all. Changing strong-nuclear force a bit would stop the sun from working. [[User:LarsJ|LarsJ]] 14:17, 26 June 2009 (EDT)
