False analogy, You used the false conclusion you reached to argue that we cannot measure decay rates because we are only around for a small portion of the average time of decay, bad grammar cannot be used to satisfy this end.

You can't have it both ways, either you accept your mistake and concede that we can know with a high degree of accuracy the average decay rates of various isotopes or you ignore all of the actual data and stick to your initial line of reasoning.

Too bad for you the former (and accurate) understanding shoots down your unsubstantiated belief in a young earth.

Haha you act as if my mistake changes the argument, it does not. 100/4,500,000,000 total time is still far too small of a observation to make any kind of stastical conclusion. My argument still stands un-refuted.
