The RATE Group

The RATE Group - Creation scientists at the Institute for Creation Research and the Creation Research Society are collaborating on a project to study factors that might effect radioisotope dating.  Specialists in Geology, Geophysics, Astrophysics, and Physics are actively engaged in this line of research. The acronym (RATE) stands for Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth".
