More to the point, modern radiometry depends on a model for the origin of radioactivity (to wit, produced in the hearts of stars that eventually exploded) that fails on a number of grounds, chief among them that no observers have ever found any radioactive substance to have an even and uniform distribution throughout the earth's crust.
