Radiometric dating is using a radioactive process to determine the age of an item.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With General Science''. Anderson: Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 2000</ref>  Radiometric dating is mostly used to determine the age of rocks.  However, creationists question the method citing research by the Institute for Creation Research that suggests an accelerated decay occurred during the first 2.5 days of Creation.<ref>http://creationwiki.org/Accelerated_decay</ref>  This would supposedly give scientists unreasonably old dates for rocks that do not fit within the Creation model.

Anderson: Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 2000</ref>  Radiometric dating is mostly used to determine the age of rocks.  However, the Institute for Creation Research has suggests that [[radioactive decay]] might have been faster during the first 2.5 days of Creation.<ref>http://creationwiki.org/Accelerated_decay</ref>  If so, scientists using radiometric dating techniques would calculate erroneously old dates, possibly explaining why radiometric techniques often give ages for rocks that do not fit within the Creation model.

Radiometric dating relies on three improvable assumptions, 1) It assumes to know the amounts of the decaying material present when the rocks were formed, 2) It assumes the decay rate has been constant and 3) It assumes there have been no outside influences affecting the amounts of parent and daughter particles in that rock, or in other words the rock has been completely isolated from any outside influences.

Since radiometric dating has been shown to give inaccurate dates for rocks of known ages{{fact}} it should not be used to give dates for rocks of unknown ages. In addition if an obtained 'age' does not agree with secular scientists presuppositions then the date is ignored and tests are conducted on a different part of the rock or the rock is simply said to be of 'unknown' age.{{fact}}
