I suspect the young earthers (some of them anyway)
would ask what the constancy of the rate of decay (especially if the putative variations occurred in the past) would have to do with the use of radiation in nuclear medicine.
I agree with Dave Siemans: young-earthers are a very tenacious breed, and will hold onto their explanations in spite of contradictions.

may be useful in discussions relating to old/new earth perspectives.
Some (most?) dating technologies are based on radioactive decay. It
seems that a person might be in a state of contradiction when rejecting
the radioactive decay evidence for an old universe, yet fully trusting
the tools of nuclear medicine. I’m wondering if that notion (or
something similar) can be clearly substantiated. Are there other
reasonably easy to articulate and understand instances of contradiction
of this sort?
