Abstract
Randy Isaac published an essay review on Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth, Vol. II in the June 2007 issue (pp. 143-6). The members of the RATE group who conducted the research and published this work representing the Institute for Creation Research and the Creation Research Society appreciate the thoroughness with which Isaac reviewed our report and his investment of time. However, we disagree with his accusations of deception and lack of integrity in claiming that our data affirm a young earth. Thank you for allowing us to defend ourselves against these charges and briefly respond to some of the more serious technical issues he raised.
