[_ Old Earth _] Polonium Halos

[John]

Great evidence for creation. This video is 30 mins long but is VERY interesting.

Here are links to many rebuttals.

Apparently, he had some false assumptions. The rocks are not primordial, some are not even granite. Many other interesting things as well.

Have you found any responses to these rebuttals? I could not find any from Gentry.

I'm not going to argue with a video. Why don't you present some points from the video that you think really represent what you're trying to get across and then we can discuss.

The granite from which he got the halos were intrusive; the flow had forced its way in between a fault in sedimentary rock, which shows signs of contact metamorphesis (i.e. the rock was cooked by the liquid magma that later cooled to form granite.

So they could not be primordial; the sedimentary rock is older. And it's rather notable that such halos can form by the breakdown of uranium isotopes, which not surprisingly are found in the granite samples used for the study.

And no one has yet found them were uranium ores are not present. I think it's very clear why.
