The time it takes for half of the original sample of a radioactive isotope to decay.[1] Secular scientists and Old Earth Creationists believe that half-lives are constant over time while Young-Earth Creationists believe that half-lives are not constant because radiometric dating using half-life measurements indicate an Earth and Universe that are billions of years old. However, there is no empirical evidence supporting this argument.
