Falsified, huh?
I suppose they mean "refuted", but who knows?
So Dinosaurs were running around with Humans...
Or are our fossil records also wrong?
So give us an estimate...The earth is what....3000 years old?
I think you should call President Gore immediately about this....He knows what to do. If he is not available...call The Lochness Monster to investigate...
Gentry's polonium halo hypothesis for a young Earth fails all tests. Gentry's entire thesis is built on a compounded set of assumptions. He is unable to demonstrate that concentric haloes in mica are caused uniquely by alpha particles resulting from the decay of polonium isotopes. His samples are not from "primordial" pieces of the Earth's original crust, but from rocks which have been extensively reworked. Finally, his hypothesis cannot accommodate the many alternative lines of evidence that demonstrate a great age for the Earth. Gentry rationalizes any evidence which contradicts his hypothesis by proposing three "singularities" - one time divine interventions - over the past 6000 years. Of course, supernatural events and processes fall outside the realm of scientific investigations to address. As with the idea of variable radioactive decay rates, once Gentry moves beyond the realm of physical laws, his arguments fail to have any scientific usefulness. If divine action is necessary to fit the halo hypothesis into some consistent model of Earth history, why waste all that time trying to argue about the origins of the haloes based on current scientific theory? This is where most Creationist arguments break down when they try to adopt the language and trappings of science. Trying to prove a religious premise is itself an act of faith, not science.
In the end, Gentry's young Earth proposal, based on years of measuring discoloration haloes, is nothing more than a high-tech version of the Creationist "Omphalos" argument. This is the late nineteenth century proposition that while God created the Earth just 6,000 years ago according to the Genesis account, He made everything appear old. Unfortunately, because Gentry has published his original work on haloes in reputable scientific journals, a number of basic geology and mineralogy text books still state that microscopic discoloration haloes in mica are the result of polonium decay.
When you don't follow scientific methods of analysis, you can get any conclusion you want.
The creationists are resurrecting this hoary old canard. You'd think they'd do a bit of research before posting.
This stuff is too goofy for ICR. That's not easy to do.

About three weeks ago I received a radiocarbon date with an age over 4004 B.C. (5190 B.C., actually). How say you?
I believe there is Religion forum that is far more appropriate for your post than this one. Please use it next time.
Am I still asleep and dreaming this?
I suppose it's too simple to point out that the word "Unrefuted" is far different from the word "Unrefutable". In this usage it simply means no has bothered.
Their must be a little democrat in every human...
Since the Democrat Party itself is just a story..
Everything the freepin party stands for is pure bullshit..
And the republicans are jealous...
(its all in my book).. d;-'
