Critique of Radiometric Dating is a 1973 technical monograph (No. 2 in the Institute for Creation Research series) by Harold S Slusher, published by the ICR / Master Books.

Overview

The monograph attacks the reliability of radiometric (radioisotope) dating methods from a young-earth creationist standpoint. Slusher questions the core assumptions of the methods — constancy of decay rates over geological time, knowledge of initial isotope ratios, and closed-system behaviour of samples — and argues that these uncertainties undermine the standard multi-billion-year ages assigned to rocks.
