Yeah; most recently I was at an religiously unrelated (i.e.: secular) event where a T-shirt vendor had some equally unrelated Christian T-Shirts on sale. I laughed, and light-heartedly gave him some of the more incontrovertible evidence against whatever his adamant T-Short quote spouted.
Well...he got VERY uptight, and almost yelled at me
(quite mature of him, I'll add...) that
"we atheists could not ever disprove the palonium proof!"
As if this would even be plausible, that
all the rocks of the Earth, all the geology, were
instantly formed, spewing volcanoes and all, in but a few moments. Wow! What about all the other evidence of slow crystallization, of later fracturing during slow cooling, of mineralization, of water seepage and tectonic plate migrations which clearly show displacements that would take millions of years at their measured rates?
Or did those plates all cruise along, up until the exact moment we started measuring them, at, say, a 5 or 20 miles a year? And
only then, once we were looking and precisely documenting, they suddenly all slowed down
(screeeeechhhh...) to the 0.5 to 1.5 inches a year, max, that we see today? Sure!
Anyhow, the polonium halo stuff
was a serious attempt to cover lies up with an abundance of big scientific wordage, mis-information and quote-mined "proofs". Unfortunately it's main supporter and original author makes some fascinating errors, such as quoting
himself as the factual basis that proves his own theory. Neat, huh?
"I'm God because, well heck, right over here in my own worksheet, it clearly says that I am God!" What more do yah need?
Sorta like the "biblical proof" thing, only even
less believable. His mis-quotes of many other actual scientifically reviewed and accepted works, and his purposeful mis-use of nuclear decay theory, now only too well established, is quite telling.
