Which Hypothesis was Rejected by the Evidence from Radiometric Dating

Question

Which hypothesis was rejected by the evidence from radiometric dating of nonfossil rocks?
A) static hypothesis
B) transformation hypothesis
C) separate type hypothesis
D) common descent hypothesis

Accepted Answer

The static hypothesis, which posited that the Earth and life on it have remained largely unchanged over time, was rejected by evidence from radiometric dating of nonfossil rocks. This evidence showed that the Earth is billions of years old and has undergone significant geological and biological changes, contradicting the idea of a static Earth and its life forms.
