What data does the Theory of Evolution fail to explain?

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.
The following simple analogy will show how these polonium microspheres — or halos — contradict the evolutionary belief that granites formed as hot magma slowly cooled over millions of years. To the contrary, this analogy demonstrates how these halos provide unambiguous evidence of both an almost instantaneous creation of granites and the young age of the earth.
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.

I was just having a look in the dictionary, but under the defintion of 'outline' there's no description of cutting and pasting. :scratch:

Now see here. If you're going to track mud through this thread, all well and good. But at least have the good grace to paste funny pictures while you're doing it.

What does geology have to do with Evolution Theory? Since when does the formation of granite have any connection to Evolution Theory?

Why would the rapid formation of granite have any effect on the age of the Earth? In fact, even the cut/paste later says this is only in "complete harmony" with the "biblical record". There is a differance between "harmony" and evidence.

(We'll overlook that Gentry was probably wrong in his analysis)

EDIT: Is that a hook, link and sinker I can feel in my mouth?

I'm too lazy to cut and paste from talkorigins. Go look at the following for a discussion on Gentry's 'selective science':

Oops, I'm too wet behind the ears to post an external link. So go to talkorigins.org and then find the page

/faqs/po-halos/gentry.html

And since that's really geology, it seems that evolution explains everything! Time to close up the forum .... last one out turn off the lights.
