Re: Half-life questions
I just noticed you're debating with CTD. He was here for about a year up until about a year and a half ago, and I've also encountered him over at Evolution Fairy Tale. He has a bit of a frustrating style in that he keeps throwing new data and arguments at you that seem to pop into his head and that often don't relate to the topic, and he'll keep throwing general ad hominem against evolutionists into the mix. The discussion can begin to feel a bit fragmented.
But he's sincere and really believes what he's saying, and I've found he will concede on points that have been successfully demonstrated and that don't directly compromise his position. Be patient, stick to your points, make your arguments as clear as you can, realize that you're going to be learning a lot more during this process than he is, and that science is a lot more messy and uncertain than we would wish, and don't hold out any false hopes that he's going to be persuaded.
