Atoms and Radioactivity
Atoms that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
What is an isotope
Half-life
What is the time it takes for half a sample of radioactive atoms to decay?
The type of rock that is most reliable to use when using radiometric dating.
What is igneous?
Believes the uniformitarian history of the earth but with some kind of designer.
What is intelligent design?
What is a hydro-thermal vent?
An unstable isotope that decays into a different atom.
Starting with 600 radioactive atoms that have a half-life of 2 years, the number that will remain after 4 years have passed.
What is 150 atoms?
The type of rock that is not at all reliable when using radiometric dating.
A uniformitarian that believes all life came from one "simple" cell, or all life comes from one common ancestor.
What is an evolutionist? or What is the theory of evolution?
The separation between rock layers caused by a period of no deposition that is found worldwide.
What is the Great Unconformity?
A radioactive isotope that ejects 2 protons and 2 neutrons as a single particle.
What is Alpha decay?
Starting with 1000 radioactive atoms with a half-life of 10 minutes, the number you will have left after 30 minutes.
What is 125 atoms?
The process by which radioactive decay is used to determine the age of a specimen.
A uniformitarian that believes that all life arose by chance from random chemical reations and natural processes from the elements found on earth.
What is an atheist?
When a catastrophic plate tectonic causes the ocean crust to break near the continents and rapidly sink to the mantle because it is so dense.
What is runaway subduction?
When a neutron emits an electron to become a proton during radioactive decay.
What is Beta Decay?
Starting with 800 radioactive atoms with a half-life of 1 year, the number of radioactive isotopes that will be left after 3 years.
What is 100 atoms?
The predictable order of fossils found in the strata used to determine the dates of rocks containing similar fossils.
What is the Principle of Faunal Succession?
A uniformitarian that believes in the old-earth interpretation of the geological column, yet God did the design of creation.
Vents in the earth's surface that eject columns of hot water and steam that would have created great amounts of rain at magnanimous sizes.
What are geysers?
Electron Capture
What is when a proton absorbs an electron to become a neutron during radioactive decay?
After 4 hours, a radioactive sample of atoms has decayed to 250 atoms. This would be the original number of atoms with a 1 hour half-life.
What is 4000 atoms?
Determining the age of a rock using radiometric dating of the igneous rocks above and below the rock. The rock below is older than the rock above it.
What is bracketing?
A uniformitarian that believes God interacts with creation, but He uses evolution as a means to creating life.
What is a theistic evolutionist?
The most important catastrophe that is responsible for the majority of the earth's geological features.
What is the worldwide flood?
