Andrew: <<The isochron method can't be used with most radiometric methods. It can be used with the uranium decay chain. But, as we really don't know how the stuff forms in the first place, I wonder if it's possible that the nature of creation can produce false isochrone evidence. Hydrogen doesn't fuse into uranium in one step.>>

Actually most of the more often used methods in radiometric dating do involve the Isochron method or similar methods. Rb/Sr, U/Pb, Ar/Ar, , Sm/Nd, Lu/Hf, Pb/Pb. What 'stuff' are you refering to that we do not understand ? And why are you confusing fission with fusion ?
