Radiometric dating is an important key to the deep-time age estimate for Earth. Various methods use radioactive elements and their decay products to date rock samples from around the world in the hundreds of millions of years. But is radioactive dating valid?
With decades of experience in top nuclear physics laboratories, Dr. Vernon Cupps tackles this question from a scientific and biblical perspective. He shows how radiometric dating methods make assumptions that cannot be verified and examines the significant problems with the radioactive dating methodology currently employed by secularists.
The first entry in ICR's In-Depth Science series, Rethinking Radiometric Dating goes into detail about the major radiometric dating methods, including potassium-argon, rubidium-strontium, uranium-lead, and others. Dr. Cupps also examines thermoluminescence dating, Earth's magnetic field, radiohalos, zircons, radiocarbon dating, and soft tissue in fossils to uncover what the evidence actually reveals about Earth's age.
| Christians don't need to rely on flawed science to tell them about origins. Instead they can rely on the clear revelation of Scripture that Earth, life, and everything else was supernaturally created by God just thousands of years ago. |  |

O.K. Reading a chapter before bed each night (almost faithfully), I've finally gotten through this fantastic book. It was everything I'd hoped for and more! I simply expected it to be a condensation/compilation of his articles. It is actually a separate work entire, and one of the finest scientific rebuttals of modern radiometric dating I've seen. Thank you, Dr. Cupps, for a volume that was not only visually stunning, but organized so well, but explained so well, I really feel well-prepared to give answers when I hear these arguments in the world. May God use this wonderful compendium to draw many souls to His Son. God's purpose was clear on every page. Thank you, many times over. Instant recommendation.
This is really a pre-review. Ever since reading Dr. Cupps' first article on radiometric dating in A & F, I've wished that all these materrials would find their way into a book. I could not believe the value of the sale; I jumped at it when I sought it advertized today (Psst! Don't tell my room-mate!) I've pre-scored it at five stars! Thank you, Dr. Cupps!
In a world of misinformation, we need books like this one! Painstakingly goes through the details needed to understand radiometric dating and other subjects. Highly recommended for anyone yearning to read real science. Good job Cupps!
When I was in the Air Force I worked as a nuclear chemist. For the first year of this assignment we studied nuclear chemistry/physics. I think Dr Cupps book is an excellent text on the subject of radiometric dating. There are so many pitfalls in this process and he has done a wonderful job of pointing them out and explaining them. The book is accurate, well written, and very informative. I find it astounding that the errors in radioactive dating persist and I encourage Dr Cupps to continue in his pursuit of real science and the Bible.
