i do no longer see how that's a controversy. i've got not got faith that the Earth became created some thousand years in the past, yet I understand that the 0.5-existence of uranium-235 is a computed fee, no longer some thing that has somewhat been mentioned because of the fact people have not had the flexibility to degree radioactivity for that long. So, in spite of the fact that quantity of uranium-235 that presently exists could, in theory, decay in 704 million years. this does not say something approximately how the present uranium-235 got here to exist or whilst. in case you could clarify away fossils, radioactive isotopes are a cinch to brush aside.

It heats up water into high-pressure steam, which is then piped through the blades of a turbine generator, which spins, which produces electricity, which is distributed to people, who use it to create heat, light, mechanical motion, and data processing and manipulation. That would be a nuke power plant.
