So I come across a lot of theists who debate the earth being 2 billion years old by claiming that carbon 12 and 14's half life is only 5730 years old, thus making it an ineffective way to date the globe. I always tell them that we use potassium argon to date ancient dig sites and archaeological finds.
Here's a link:

Potassium Argon has a half-life of 1250 million years. Just wondering if any of you have come across similar encounters with creationists and if there have been other arguments that have frustrated you and stumped you, feel free to post them so we can seek a logical and scientific end to it.
There is one creotard argument that had me stumped for all of 30 seconds and that is only because I was blindsided by it. That is the argument that Polonium halos prove a young Earth. To a layman, the argument is devastating. To anyone trained in Geology, Chemistry or Physics, the argument is laughable in it's stupidity. I guess nobody told those cretinous morons that Polonium is a daughter of Radon which is a gas and Radon is well known for it's ability to diffuse through granite.
Other than that one argument, they are a laughable bunch of generally inbred lunatics.
