Radio-isotope halos and Diamond Crystal studies aren't negative.

The claim regarding polonium halos is simply wrong. I am unable to locate information regarding your claim of diamond crystal studies. Do you have a reference? Do you also have a reference showing that "creationism" predicted the exsitence of polonium halos and diamond crystal propreties before either were discovered?

The vestigal organs can be stated as a positive. That all human organs would serve important functions.

What important function is served by the appendix? When and why did creationism predict that all organs would serve an important function?

The missing links is a negative, but it's a pretty damning negative for evolution.

Please support this claim.

"The claim regarding polonium halos is simply wrong"

Talk Origins refutation amounts to claiming that it couldn't possibly be right because other evidence points to the earth being old.

Creationists didn't predict the existence of halos before they were discovered, any more than evolutionists predicted that the earth would contain fossils before the first fossils were discovered.

However Creationists did predict that they were a source of information that explain the apparent discrepancy between radiometric dating and the Bible's record of history. To that end, Creation Scientists formed the RATE project with clearly defined research projects and predictions.

"What important function is served by the appendix?
The appendix helps regulate the colon. It's removal has been linked to an increased risk of colon cancer.

"After Darwin said the appendix was vestigial and useless, he and others went on to suggest it was more susceptible to disease. This propensity for the appendix to be diseased, and possibly dangerously so (‘Descent of Man’, p.27), is in no way due to the organ having a lowered vitality and tending towards an atrophic (wasted) defenceless state, but simply a consequence of one of its functions placing it in the body’s front-line in the battle against infection. Akin to the tonsil guarding the upper alimentary tract from bacteria etc., so does the appendix guard the entrance from the almost sterile ileum into the normally bacteria-infested colon (see Fig. 1)."
