"Etched within Earth's foundation rocks — the granites — are beautiful
microspheres of coloration, halos, produced by the radioactive decay of
primordial polonium, which is known to have only a fleeting existence.
A speck of polonium in molten rock can be compared to an Alka-Seltzer dropped into a glass of water. The beginning of effervescence is equated to the moment that polonium atoms began to emit radiactive particles. In molten rock the traces of those radioactive particles would disappear as quickly as the Alka-Seltzer bubbles in water. But if the water were instantly frozen, the bubbles would be preserved. Likewise, polonium halos could have formed only if the rapidly "effervescing" specks of polonium had been instantly encased in solid rock.
An exceedingly large number of polonium halos are embedded in granites around
the world. Just as frozen Alka-Seltzer bubbles would be clear evidence of the
quick-freezing of the water, so are these many polonium halos undeniable
evidence that a sea of primordial matter quickly "froze" into solid granite. The
occurrence of these polonium halos, then, distinctly implies that our earth was
formed in a very short time, in complete harmony with the biblical record of
creation." Earth Science Associates
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. Psalm 33:6,9
