I reverted this edit as (a) it is essentially vandalism to write in such a sarcastic tone and say ignore but add the links and (b) the issue of radiohalos has been discussed in the text page above this section and on the radiohalos article. Several authors have provided numerous links explaining why radiohalos do not show what you think they do. Read them before you put this text back. Babakathy (talk) 10:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, well since everyone was so sure that the information was irrelevant, untrue, and generally irritating to their daily business, and that radiohalos seemed to particularly offend in their lack of meaning anything important, I figured I would help us all out and make it clear that they especially should be ignored. How can you call it sarcasm? Isn't one of the cardinal rules of Wikipedia:assume good faith?

Who says they should be ignored? Cite reliable sources. Gwen Gale (talk) 12:12, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

By reliable, am I to assume you mean all of the old earth sources? I cited many sources. What is your definition of reliable?BreshiBaraElohim (talk) 12:15, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Read WP:sources, for example it says In general, the most reliable sources are peer-reviewed journals and books published in university presses and Wikipedia:RS which says Reliable sources are credible published materials with a reliable publication process; their authors are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand. But don't taking it from me, read the policy and the guideline. Babakathy (talk) 15:00, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, please read some of the links on radiohalos. Or links I showed you at Talk:Radiometric_dating. For example this explains that the halos can be caused by decay of U to Ra to Po and not represent original Po in the rock. In such cases there is nothing surprising about them. Direct quote In uranium ore-fields the extra uranium provides an abundant source of inert radon gas; and it is this gas that diffuses in ambient fluids so that incipient biotite and fluorite crystallization is exposed to it. Radon (²²²Rn) decays and Po isotopes nucleate in the rapidly growing biotite (and fluorite) crystals whence they are positioned to produce the Po halos.Babakathy (talk) 15:00, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore, "Answers in Genisis" isn't considered a Reliable Source about anything, especially science. 67.173.185.224 (talk) 22:11, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
