More likely, you mean to claim it suspended decay & accuse me of "arguing from incredulity" if I don't buy your story.

But folks, please consider carefully what these evolutionists are advocating! They imagine decay can be halted. If it can be halted for polonium, why not all other radioactive elements?

These same people openly assume decay rates are always constant, any time this assumption will help them produce evodates. Someone's story invalidates itself.
And here it is, just as predicted. Be quick with the eyes. Now you see the pea....now you don't. Despite the fact that Uranium 238 DOES NOT decay directly to Polonium 218, Polonium 214 or Polonium 210, your sleight of hand man, CTD, will claim that the evolutionists said it does. This is also in complete contradiction to the reference that I supplied to him here

Since the Uranium decays to Thorium, then Radium, then Radon and all of those have 1/2 lives significantly longer than the Polonium isotopes it is entirely possible for the atoms to have migrated to the final resting place before becoming Polonium. So the Polonium did not have to "halt" its decay because the atoms were not Polonium when they were en route.

They also assume polonium has some desire to "find its way" to certain places and decay there. Sort of like the legend of the Elephants' Graveyard.

Another misrepresentation and distraction. CTD claims that geologists not only are unaware of mechanisms for mineral deposition (water, gas diffusion...etc) but also believe that elements are sentient. Of course he expects the audience to be stupid enough to lap up that foul swill and smile while doing so.

Some geologists must be fond of this concept, for wiki says

In geology, "elephants' graveyard" is an informal term for a hypothetical accumulation of "large blocks of country rock stoped from the roofs of batholiths".
Note that even this is hypothetical.

This is the important part of the hide-the-pea formula. Tell a joke or jabber nonsensically to distract the mark. By the way my dear readership, he has chosen you as the mark. Now...where's the pea?
