Radiometric dating is not about how the rock was formed or what the composition was initially, it is about using the properties of nuclei to measure the time *since* it was formed.
Says you. However if what was actually responsible for what is in the rocks was a result of either creation or some action or wish of the creator who is in all things and by whom all things consist then secular 'science' would not have any clue what was what.
Jesus did not even have to wave a wand or snap His finger to create all this universe. He just spoke and it was so. If he will something, every atom in the universe jumps into obedience right away. If God wants the sun to vanish, boom, it is no more instantly. That is what we are told in the bible will happen to the whole universe one day. Then, bang, another universe is made without even losing a beat or having to snap His fingers! If God wants the sun and stars to stop shining and go out even before that, boom, out they go without even a need to flip a light switch! And in the last days on earth that will happen we are told. Lots of things will happen that science says are impossible. For example if the sun goes out, what do you think science says would happen to earth and people? Science is not aware of how things really are or really work or why they exist. As mentioned in the last post, the plants know more!
How do these things alter the properties of nuclei. Cite sources.
Show how 'spiritual forces' affect nuclear decays.
Forget decays! His will affects their very existence! That is what His only source of words to man tells us. His will affects dead bodies, atoms, everything. WE do not know how it was when it was first created. Since that was only something like some several thousand years ago, all radioactive tea reading/dating is meaningless for any purposes that involve any times many thousands of years ago. Name any method that says some rock is older than 10,000 years and we will see that you have no authority.
Looking at something dated 12,000 years we can see that this principle stands.
"To reliably estimate the age of the figures carved into the rocks, the scientists determined the mass per area, or areal density, of manganese and iron on the rock surface. Both elements are part of the crust called rock varnish, which was deposited on rocks as a thin, dark coating. After carving, this layer forms again on the petroglyphs and grows over the years."
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry have succeeded in applying their non-destructive method to dating rock art (petroglyphs) to North America.

They didn't give details. If radioactivity was used, it would be irrelevant. Why? Because look at the half lives.
"Naturally occurring manganese is composed of one stable
isotope, 55Mn. Several
radioisotopes have been isolated and described, ranging in
atomic weight from 46
u (46Mn) to 72 u (72Mn). The most stable are 53Mn with a
half-life of
3.7 million years, 54Mn with a half-life of
312.2 days, and 52Mn with a half-life of
5.591 days. All of the remaining
radioactive isotopes have half-lives of
less than three hours, and the
majority of less than one minute."

Any 3.7 million year decay is pure theory and could never be determined not to be partially from how it was existing when created. The rest are also not relevant because they half lives are way too short to matter.
Now if the way they 'date' was actually a rate of formation of the dark coating, then what could that be based on? How fast it would probably go dark today? That says nothing about how God may have affected the world in the flood time or before or after etc. As always it is just a godless conjecture exercise that seems sciency to some. Or perhaps a poster is aware of some other aspect of how this actually was dated and would like to post it. I think you can guess that it is certain that would fail also.
Nope. Just applying the physics that is to things that are.
No, just misapply physics while ignoring God and all His works and workings.
What purpose would this god have for altering the properties of matter to alter how we measure ages in the current era, assuming it could be done?
We don't know! If He willed the world to flood, or change mankind's lifespans or languages or the way man processes things in his little brain to comprehend language etc how would or could we know how that would affect physical processes or atomic laws or whatever? If we see that how things now appear and function would not match up with the way it would be if God's creation were true, then what has to go? Our faith stands. God stands. Creations stands. Anything else must be brought into subjection and adjusted or put in perspective.
Cool.
There is a whole branch call "stellar astrophysics" that explains in great detail how stars like the Sun work and how they change over time.
No. There is none. There is more godless assumptions projected into the universe.
"increase suddenly in heat" doesn't make any sense. Do you mean get brighter? Well, if so, we do know why the Sun will get brighter at the end of its existence thanks to stellar astrophysics.
I mean men chewing their tongues in pain. I mean heat far greater than anything anyone on earth has ever seen. And so that is not because the sun gets brighter as science might speculate! The sun goes dark!
Stars "go out" all the time and they do not affect us here on Earth.
No. They will affect earth when some fall on it! (sorry if you thought all stars were sun like) They will affect mankind when the sky is black rather than full pr beautiful lights! Men will be using candles (if they are lucky)
I get it. Your god can change the properties of matter as it wills to trick us into false conclusions.
There is no reason why we should be tricked unless we were deluded enough to think there was no creation and no God. I am not tricked when a storm happens. I am not tricked when Jesus does a miracle. He did not give Jesus a resurrected body and raise up His old one to trick people who may have been able to notice some atomic changes! He did not trick people by making gravity His little %itch so to speak when walking on water! He does what He will in the heaven and earth. Often what He will changes the way things were! Science takes only what is and tries to use that to tell us where we all came from.
(How do you cope in a world without the regularity of physical laws? I'm not sure I could deal with arbitrary changes to reality.)
Easy. How did Jesus rise up to return to heaven? How did He walk on water? How do angels fly? Reality not only includes, but is chiefly composed of God!
The nuclear physics of radioactive decays covers two of the four fundamental forces.
God exceeds all of the four forces and bends them and makes them appear or disappear with a word or less! The whole universe for example getting here and when it goes bye bye one day.
