As Christianity depends on the reliability of historical evidence, that is not good apologetics.

Not surprisingly, this rate is affected by the availability of electrons to capture. This will be most variable in small elements, where chemical interaction affects electron shells fairly close to the nucleus. However, electron capture decay is not used for radiometric dating.

It is kind of scattershot and, unfortunately, does not provide enough sources, but it has good information in it and is cheap as an Amazon Kindle book.
