Since according to the evolutionist model there has been billions of years, most of the argon should have escaped into the atmosphere, as well as the helium. But remember, a lot of the helium is also found in rocks, suggesting they did not have enough time to escape. Now a major debating point is how much helium escapes into space. Most scientists agree that little helium escapes into space, and much more enters the atmosphere than escapes by the earths movement around the solar system from inter-solar gas. Therefore according to the evolutionist model there should be even more helium in the atmosphere than the creationist model, because more uranium would have decayed and more gas absorbed by earth's orbit around the sun.
I'll give you two articles:
Excess argon
and helium
The first one about excess argon is quite interesting in its implications.

JM: What makes excess argon so interesting to you? Remember it was conventional geologists who made this 'discovery' not creationists. So, what do you think the major 'implication' is?
Cheers
