Origin of the Moon“The origin of the moon is still unresolved.”
A. Snyder Ruzicka and L. A. Taylor, “Giant Impact and Fission Hypotheses for the origin of the moon: a critical review of some geochemical evidence,
International Geology Review, 1998, p. 851.The best explanation is the moon was created in its present orbit about 6,000 years agoInternational Geology Review, 1998Slide19

They come in two flavorsLong-period: more than 200 years to orbit the Sun.Short-period: less than 200 years

Comets and the Oort Cloud“Many scientific papers are written each year about the Oort Cloud, its properties, its origin, its evolution. Yet there is not yet a shred of direct observational evidence for its existence.”
Who said this?
Carl Sagan and A. Druyan, Comets, 1985, pp. 201.Slide29
Comets and the Oort Cloud“Though the Oort cloud has yet to be observed, the theory accounts so well for the distribution of comets’ orbits that most astronomers today accept its existence,…”
Timothy Ferris,
The Whole Shebang: A State-of-the-Universe Report, 1997, p. 123.Definition of faithAn unquestioning belief that does not require proof or observation.Slide30
Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt“Since it cannot be detected, the Oort cloud is not a scientific concept. This is not bad science, but non-science masquerading as science. The existence of comets is good evidence that the solar system is only a few thousand years old .”
Danny Faulkner, Ph.D. Astronomy,
More problems for the ‘Oort comet cloud’ , 2001, TJ 15(2):11 Slide31
Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt“The existence of vast Kuiper and the Oort clouds of comets has not been verified. Perhaps there is an alternative: The presence of comets may be evidence that the solar system is not as old as is often assumed.”

Earth’s Protective Magnetic Field

Magnetic Field DecaySlide35
Since measuring began in 1845, the total energy stored in the earth’s magnetic field has been decaying at a rate of 5% per century.
Archaeological
measurements show that the field was 40% stronger in AD 1000. Recent records of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field, the most accurate ever taken, show a net energy loss of 1.4% in just three decades (1970–2000). This means that the field’s energy has halved every 1,465 years or so
.

A theoretical process through which a rotating,
convecting, and electrically conducting fluid can maintain a magnetic field over astronomical time.
Dynamo TheorySlide37
Dynamo Theory “The mechanism for generating the geomagnetic field remains one of the central unsolved problems in
geoscience.”
National Geomagnetic Initiative, Dec, 19 2002Slide38
“Magnetism is almost as much of a puzzle now as it was when William Gilbert (1544-1603) wrote his classic text ‘Concerning Magnetism, Magnetic Bodies, and the Great Magnet, Earth’ in 1600.”

Supernova RemnantSlide48
Supernova Remnant Stages
First stage - (
free expansion ) debris hurtling outwards at 7000 kilometers per second. Characterized by constant temperature and constant expansion velocity. It lasts a 200-300 years and reaches a diameter of 7-21 light years. Second stage - material begins to decelerate and cool. Characterized by mixing that enhances the magnetic field, and is a very powerful emitter of radio waves. Lasts from 10-120 thousand years and reach a diameter of about 350 light years.Third stage – (snowball stage) begins after the shell has cooled down to about 106 K (-167C). At this stage, electrons and atoms begin recombining with the heavier atoms making the SNR shrink and become more dense. The velocity decreases, outward expansion stops and the SNR starts to collapse under its own gravity. This lasts a few hundreds of thousands of years. After millions of years, the SNR will be absorbed into the interstellar medium at a diameter of about 1800 light years.Slide49

The Early Faint Sun Paradox
The Sun is burning by thermonuclear reactions. Over time, this changes the composition of the core of the Sun, and alters its temperature.
If the Sun is 4.6 billion years old, it should have brightened by nearly 40% over this time.Life supposedly arose 3.8 billion years ago. Back then, the Sun would have been 25% dimmer. Slide67
Faint Sun Paradox cont’d
The average temperature on Earth would have been about 30 degrees F: below the freezing point of water.Earth would have been an ice planet.
Yet evolutionists believe the average temperature of Earth hasn’t changed.Of course, this isn’t a problem if the Sun is really thousands of years old.
