RATE's Ratty Results: Helium in Zircons

Trending story found on www.talkorigins.org
Young-Earth creationists consider the helium diffusion studies of D. Russell Humphreys and others to be one of their greatest achievements in arguing for a 6,000 year old Earth. This critique shows that these studies are extensively flawed and include: serious miscalculations in their data, sampling the wrong rock type from the Fenton Hill site, failing to eliminate possible contamination from extraneous helium-3, using equations that are based on invalid assumptions and relying on questionable data and assumptions from Robert Gentry and others.
