Helium Retention in Zircons Demonstrates a Young Earth
BY VERNON R. CUPPS, PH.D. * | FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2018
Zircons are tiny crystals of zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4) that originate in igneous rock, which forms when volcanic magma cools. It’s a very stable mineral that melts at 2550°C. Zircon is harder than quartz and almost as hard as diamond. Because of these characteristics, zircon is the mineral most frequently used in various radioisotope dating methods for dating rocks assumed to be at least a few hundred million years old. Its ability to retain impurities within its crystal lattice is very important in establishing the validity of these dating methods.

Ok, so. Why didn’t God know Adam needed a woman as a mate instead of suggesting that an animal might be suitable?
You knowledge of evolution consists purely of the propaganda you have been fed.
Science will NEVER prove or disprove the existence of god. Any christian that attempts to “prove” the existence of god citing scientific study is FAITHLESS.
That is a smarmy response worthy of a leftist. Brainwashing works on you, obviously.
Take me through the billions of years while paramecia evolved into humans. Why, mitosis simply didn’t work to further a species, so the process of meiosis evolved, after sexes miraculously split! See how silly that idea is? And the differentiation of sexes evolved over time! For what purpose? Our ancestors were surviving perfectly well by splitting over and over.
It is YOUR ideas that richly deserve derision.
Make more sense than Adam firmed as an adult from sand.
“That is a smarmy response worthy of a leftist. “
As worthy of a leftist you smear instead of addressing the truth.
Maybe Adam is not literally, but figuratively true. It does not follow that evolutionary theory is therefore worthy of the belief of any rational person. I note that you head for the tall grass rather than attempt to explain the “process”. You CHOOSE to believe pabulum.
Make more sense than Adam f(o)rmed as an adult from sand.
We ALL come from elements of the earth. Life was breathed into man, and every other living thing, by God. You believe the same dumbass scientists who insist that we can change the earth’s climate. *Head shaking* Sad.
“Maybe Adam is not literally, but figuratively true. “
YOU doubt God’s Word?
Christ Himself used parables. Jesus died, rose from the dead and was witnessed by many hundreds after the crucifixion. THAT is what matters most to me. I care not a whit what other literalist Christians believe.
Since you are a virulent God and Christian hater, you will continue to be a fool who won’t watch this, but here it is. One of many.

That read like something a Jehovah’s Witness pioneer or publisher would tell me.
