"More than 260 meteorites have been identified as coming from Mars, all igneous rocks classified into shergottites, nakhlites, chassignites, orthopyroxenite and polymict regolith breccias.
More than 60 have been radioisotope dated using the K-Ar, Ar-Ar, Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Th-Pb, Lu-Hf and Re-Os methods. Some 3.0–4.57 Ga radioisotope “ages” coincide with the postulated formation of
Mars and the subsequent giant impact cratering, massive volcanism and water outflows that deposited sedimentary layers and carved canyons during the Martian Noachian and Hesperian eras.
Other younger <3.0 Ga Amazonian era radioisotope “ages” are sporadically distributed, coinciding with minor, scattered, lingering igneous activity.
The radioisotope “ages” are generally concordant, so they provide no definitive evidence of accelerated radioisotope decay having occurred during and since the formation of these Martian igneous rocks. Contrary to the naturalistic paradigm.
God specifically tells us that He created the earth on Day One of the Creation Week, and Mars, the other planets, and earth’s Moon were created on Day Four from the same “primordial material” He had created on Day One.
Today’s measured radioisotope compositions of these Martian meteorites may thus partially reflect the isotopic signature of that created “primordial material” consisting of atoms of all elemental isotopes including isotopes and their now daughter isotopes that were not derived by radioactive decay.
--However, it is assumed that radioisotope decay with its emitted damaging radiation did not occur during the Creation Week because God declared at the end of Day Six that everything He had made as “very good” (Genesis 1:31).
--Thus it is assumed that radioisotope decay only commenced when God cursed the ground.
--Similarly, the impact cratering of earth, its Moon, Mars and the other planets would likewise not have occurred during the Creation Week to damage God’s “very good” creation.
Instead, the giant impact cratering, massive volcanism and water outflows that deposited sedimentary layers and carved canyons during the Martian Noachian and Hesperian eras (3.0–4.1 Ga) might correlate with the global Flood cataclysm on the earth.
In the subsequent Martian Amazonian era (<3.0 Ga) geologic activity was minor, localized, and sporadic, as recorded in many of the Martian meteorites. There is thus a major “disconnect” between the radioisotope “ages” for these Martian 3.0–4.1 Ga major geologic events and rocks, and the radioisotope “ages” of < 600 Ma for rocks formed during the earth’s global Flood cataclysm. This “disconnect” may be due to the earth having suffered from the Day Three Great Upheaval in which the primordial isotopic endowment was mixed and redistributed producing younger radioisotope “ages” in the resultant rocks, whereas Mars being subsequently created on Day Four was not so affected and thus maintained its primordial mantle isotopic endowment.
Then when earth’s global Flood cataclysm occurred with its accompanying accelerated radioisotope decay and stirring of mantle reservoirs due to plate subduction and mantle plumes during catastrophic plate tectonics, Mars was also affected with giant impact cratering and massive volcanism, in which its mantle reservoirs were stirred and their isotopic endowment mixed.
However, whereas the radioisotope “clocks” in the earth’s rocks were accelerated from their pre-Flood settings through some 600 million years, the Martian rocks’ radioisotope “clocks” may have been mixed, reset and accelerated through some 4 billion years from their pre-Flood settings.
This has implications for earth’s Moon, since it also did not suffer from the Day Three Great Upheaval and early in it supposed geologic history it also suffered from giant impact cratering and massive volcanism, which thus could also correlate with the earth’s global Flood cataclysm. In any case, even though these Martian meteorites yield consistent radioisotope “ages”, these cannot be their true real-time ages, which according to the Biblical paradigm are only about 6,000 and less real-time years."
