vast amounts of energy were released. This could have caused radioactive elements to decay very rapidly,
LOL, he should write for the onion. He could use his theory to clean up radioactive waste by channeling the energy from atomic bombs into it. Hahahahaha

Gold, in my opinion you linked to a site with several fairytales and ZERO science.

Have you seen the Creation/Evolution Encyclopedia" at pathlights.com ?

I think it possible the earth is young. But I agree with this:

The main thrust of creationism has been and should be to counter the worldview of "naturalism", that nature is "all there is", and that nature on its own has produced the formations of the universe, the Earth, first life, and eventually people. Biological evolution (descent with modification from a common ancestor, once life existed) is a subset of the larger picture. Creationists believe the facts of science show that unguided natural processes are simply incapable of producing the increase in complexity and information content seen in going from single cell organisms to people. The "intelligent design" movement advocates such as Phillip Johnson and Michael Behe stress this point, and don't get involved with the question of age.

Of secondary importance is the age of the Earth and the universe. There are Biblical creationists who believe that God directly created the various "kinds" of plants and animals (but allow for them to diversify into many species each through natural selection), and "theistic evolutionists/progressive creationists" who believe in a God-initiated or God-guided evolution of plants, animals, and people. The first camp espouses the Earth as young, while the latter accepts the standard age determinations.
Unfortunately, the idea of a young Earth seems too radical to many people and causes them to not consider the more important question of whether naturalism or theism is the ultimate reality and cause of our existence. The two questions (age and cause) are related and intertwined, but they are not the same.

And Personally, I believe that God can create a world that is billions of years old.
