Creation Science Book Review
Thousands...Not Billions
Chapter 1: A Brief History of Radiation Studies
Review by Greg Neyman
© Old Earth Ministries
Published May 2006
In this introductory chapter, DeYoung gives a brief history of the discovery of radiation, some background information on atoms and what causes radiation, and the varieties of radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma radiation). After explaining this, DeYoung explains the concept of half-life and gives some analogies for nuclear decay.
Overall, DeYoung presents a good summary which needs few comments. If you wish, you may read about these processes he explains in the links below.
