Helium - 3 of 3

 

For your consideration...the following is an excerpt from a radio spot on KAPL radio, Jacksonville, Oregon, called " Akin For the Truth". To listen to the entire spot (a few minutes long), click the little microphone icon....Jack

We've been looking at the gas helium, a component of our atmosphere. It is fairly rare, about one part in 200,000, but, nevertheless, the mix of the rare gases are of immense importance, affecting our weather and climactic balance.

Much could be mentioned about uses we have found for this gas. Helium is used in lighter than air balloons and blimps, and while heavier than hydrogen, is far safer since it doesn"t burn. It is used as an inert gas shield for arc welding; pressuring liquid fuel rockets; and as a gas for supersonic wind tunnels. It has been put forth that there is but a fraction of the helium that it seems there should be, given the Earth is as old as evolutionists need it to be. Since the colorless and odorless helium is one of the noble gases, being non-reactive, like argon, it does not form other compounds, but remains by itself, easy to track.
