But how do we know what the original ratios or isotopes were? This is an assumption. They found ratios that did not seem right. So they accounted for them by asserting that there must have been a fission reaction. Doesn't that tell you something? The facts do not point to an old earth. The facts should not point to anything at all. Only the interpret ...[text shortened]... ng about a natural fission reactor - something scientist would never had considered before 1972.
I corrected 'or' to 'of'.
If it were the case that the original ratios were variable we would get different ratios from different studies which is not the case. I'm afriad your point is sadly NOT VALID.
