Radioactive decay and the sun

Radioactive decay and the sun
Not wanting to jump the gun, but I was on a certain website, that said radioactive decay may not be constant (not a creationist site). That, in fact, the sun affects radioactive decay???
This is a massvie surprise to me, whenever I argue or debate with creationists, I tell them, 'Radiometric dating is accurate, if you use more than two dating types.' Wouldnt this mean we dont know how old the Earth is? and that perhaps the world is only thousands not billions of years old? (Im not saying it is, only a creationist jumps to a conclusion, Im saying maybe, if we dont know how old the Earth is, it could be)

What do you guys think???
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.

You dont hate God, you hate the church game.

"God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed." Saint Augustine

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
