Yes I would, but the point is that I could use the same argument you are using to justify radiometric dating to justify both of those methods; so you’re going to have to use something else to justify radiometric dating. As far as I am concerned the elements went through a period of greatly accelerated decay in the past much like our hypothetical human would have gone through a period of accelerated growth earlier in his lifetime to throw off the other two methods.

Hint: not with two points.
Depends on what you mean by scales, are you referring to the parent to daughter element ratios? Feel free to elaborate, I am enjoying the discussion.
