Some will say it's been refuted, but not according to the peer review journals that evolutionists always point to. The responses to the complaints about this presentation can be found here.
At times Gentry seems to deliberately obscure or minimize the evidence against his claims. In the introduction at his website he states, "Have you heard that, decades later, this evidence still stands unrefuted by the scientific community?" Gentry declares that if claims by critics that Po halos formed in ways other than he asserts, "they would have passed peer review and been published in the open scientific literature... or have themselves been experimentally falsified." Yet as he knows, a number of rigorous, peer-reviewed scientific papers refuting his claims and supporting alternate explanations of Po formation have been published (as cited herein). Ironically, many of Gentry's own claims have not been published in peer reviewed literature, and when they have, strong rebuttals followed by both mainstream and creationist workers. Gentry's home page also boldly declares: "Every question regarding the validity or implications of this polonium-halo evidence has been systematically dealt with, in our published reports and in various discussions with those holding differing views." However, if one examines the page linked to the term "reports" one finds that they concentrate almost entirely on the physics of radio halos, and none substantially address let alone refute the geologic-setting evidence fatal to his claims. Andrew Snelling, a creationist geologist with "Answers in Genesis," bluntly stated that it is "wrong for Gentry to go on denying and rejecting the many impeccable observational evidences..." Snelling (2002) . Likewise, in reviewing evidence that many of the halos occur in intrusive dikes, Brown et al(1988) state: "...it would be safe to say that the majority of halo-containing minerals are younger than the host rock and therefore do not represent primordial material."
Now, the exponential numbers show that the probability of life happening by chance is beyond belief. To believe in evolution shows amazing faith because there is nothing offered by scientists to counter these numbers. If I said, I have a billion dollars here to give you, and all you have to do is spin this wheel that has 50 numbers on it and get them to come up in order from 1 to 50 with no mistakes, but it will cost you 10,000 dollars to take those spins, would you give me that puny $10,000.00 with such a huge payoff? Do you think you have a decent chance at winning the mega lottery? You have a chance to win 250 million dollars! What are your chances of picking the right 5 numbers out of 55 numbers and a power ball number that is 1 out of 30? You have to get them all right. Do you think you will win? Any yet those chances are much much better than the chance of life coming together and creating YOU!
If you still believe in evolution, then it truly does prove you have great faith because it's not based on logic, mathematical knowledge, or any evidence.
PRATT = "Point Refuted A Thousand Times", though that number is a gross underestimate. Creationist arguments consist primarily and often times entirely of false claims that have been addressed and refuted many times before, many of them decades ago. But creationists are still being fed those same old false claims and they keep presenting them as if they were actually worth something and we keep on repeating the same refutation over and over again. One person has described it as "slaying the dead." It doesn't matter how many times you tell your lies, they still will never be true. Goebbels was wrong.

The event has NOT already happened, and likewise just because you keep saying it did does not make it true. You cannot refute the mathematics no matter how hard you try, and what's funny is the physicists and mathematicians are laughing behind your back because even they can tell it never happened by chance.

I'm gonna solve the puzzle Pat.
Evolution is quantatatively impossible. Debunked.
Great post Unified.

So you think evolution means things happen "by chance"?
Lol. Seriously..I am done.

If they didn't happen by chance then how did they happen? By design? I'm asking a serious question here. I'm not being snide or joking. I really do not understand this statement. It seems to contradict evolution and yet is being used to support evolution. Please explain. I really want to know what you mean.

There is an element of chance/randomness; however, the evolutionary process is not random. That doesn't mean it is by "design" but rather whether or not the genetic change is passed on is determined by natural stresses in the environment. That is why you cannot quantify evolution with statistical probabilities.
That's what pro evo people teach. Random chance made it all happen because it had a long time to happen. No designer, no order, just BANG... Shazam a cell, OOOOH Look animals from cells... see evolution is real!!!!

Why does it have to be "god" though? It's more than likely we were created by an advanced, intelligent race(s) of people.
I'll tell you exactly why exactly why Bonez and it's as plain as the noze on your face. We haven't got a single note from your ancient alien race against tons of scripture that claims us for GOD.edit on 7-9-2013 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
