#:"One type of nuclear decay is the emission of Helium nuclei known as an alpha emission. Elements like [[uranium]] and [[thorium]] produce helium in [[zircon]]s as a by-product of their radioactivity. This [[helium]] seeps out of (sic) zircons quickly over a wide range of temperatures. If the zircons really are about 1.5 billion years old (the age which conventional dating gives assuming a constant decay rate), almost all of the helium should have dissipated from the zircons long ago. But there is a significant amount of helium still inside the zircons, showing their ages to be 6,000 +/- 2,000 years. Accelerated decay must have produced a billion years worth of helium in that short amount of time."<ref name="cwye" />

#:"Uranium and thorium generate helium atoms as they decay to lead. A study published in the ''Journal of Geophysical Research'' showed that such helium produced in zircon crystals in deep, hot Precambrian granitic rock has not had time to escape. Though the rocks contain ''1.5 billion years'' worth of nuclear decay products, newly-measured rates of helium loss from zircon show that the helium has been leaking for only '''6,000''' (± 2000) '''years'''. This is not only evidence for the youth of the earth, but also for episodes of greatly accelerated decay rates of long half-life nuclei within thousands of years ago, compressing radioisotope timescales enormously."<ref name="icrye" />

#:"In 2000 the [[RATE]] project began experiments to measure the diffusion rates of helium in zircon and biotite specifically from the Jemez Granodiorite. The data...are consistent with data for a mica related to biotite, with recently reported data for zircon and with a reasonable interpretation of the earlier zircon data. ...[These] data limit the age of these rocks to between 4,000 and 14,000 years."<ref>http://www.icr.org/pdf/research/Helium_ICC_7-22-03.pdf</ref>

#:"The core of the sun produces [[deuterium]] from hydrogen [[fusion]] at 5 million degrees K. The heat is transferred from the core by convection currents so it could reach surface in days, not a million years. It also leads to an age for the sun based on the deuterium/hydrogen ratio of the local interstellar medium of 6,000-12,857 years."<ref name="cwye" />

#:"Radiohalos are rings of color formed around microscopic bits of radioactive minerals in rock crystals. They are fossil evidence of radioactive decay. "Squashed" Polonium-210 radiohalos indicate that Jurassic, Triassic, and [[Eocene]] formations in the Colorado plateau were deposited '''within months''' of one another, not ''hundreds of millions of years'' apart as required by the conventional time scale. "Orphan" Polonium-218 radiohalos, having no evidence of their mother elements, imply '''accelerated nuclear decay''' and very rapid formation of associated minerals."<ref name="icrye" />

# '''Galaxies wind themselves up too fast.'''

#:"The stars of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, rotate about the galactic center with different speeds, the inner ones rotating faster than the outer ones. The observed rotation speeds are so fast that if our galaxy were more than '''a few hundred million years old''', it would be a featureless disc of stars instead of its present spiral shape. Yet our galaxy is supposed to be at least ''10 billion years'' old. Evolutionists call this "the winding-up dilemma," which they have known about for fifty years. They have devised many theories to try to explain it, each one failing after a brief period of popularity. The same "winding-up" dilemma also applies to other galaxies."<ref name="icrye">[http://www.icr.org/article/1842/ Evidence for a Young World - Institute for Creation Research]</ref> An example of a failed model is called the "density wave model". While it resolves some issues with the winding problem, it requires density waves to exist for billions of years and there is no reason for them to do so.<ref name=astro>[http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/D/Density+Wave+Model Density wave model] from astronomy.swin.edu.au</ref>

Yet each time a comet orbits close to the sun, it loses so much of its material that it could not survive much longer than about 100,000 years.
