AOK: Ummmmm. We wouldn't be having this discussion if this evidence did not involve the primordial oldest rocks of the earth.
But these aren't the oldest rocks on earth. Creationist work since Gentry's has falsified that Halos occur in primordial rock.

The discovery and documentation of the three types of Po radiohalos in the biotites within three granitic plutons that were clearly sourced and formed during the Flood year falsifies the hypothesis for the formation of these Po radiohalos and their host granitic rocks during the Creation Week.

This paper also references other work by creationists such as Kurt Wise that falsifies Gentry's ideas about the Halos being remnants of creation. Current creationist thinking is that the Po Halos are from some sort of intrusion during the Flood.

AOK: . There is no evidence that Radon mobility can create a polonium halos. There is no peer reviewed publications on this subject. Fasification happens through evidence and observation. But none has been presented.
Actually Snellings references much peer reviewed literature that there can indeed by Po halos as a result of transport. Go to his paper and see his references. Again from Snellings:
quote:
. there are now significant reports of 210Po as a detectable species in volcanic gases, in volcanic/hydrothermal fluids associated with subaerial volcanoes and fumaroles, and associated with mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal vents and chimney deposits [73, 92, 112], as well as in ground waters [61, 91]. The distances involved in this fluid transport of the Po are several kilometers (and more), so there is increasing evidence of the potential viability of the secondary transport of Po by hydrothermal fluids during pluton emplacement, perhaps in the waning stages of the crystallization and cooling of granitic magmas [117, 118].
