apply only to one type of process--electron capture. This is where an electron is captured by a proton and turned into a neutron. Such processes are not used in dating, and the pressures of rocks is not enough to alter the basic decay rate of such things. >>
Yes that is important to realize but even if one allows for variability one has found not more than a few percent at most.
Nope, the creationist's argument of variable decay rates is lacking in science, theory and data.
