Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God,
Hebrews 11:3
"Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. This gargantuan object dwarfs the earth—indeed,
*The standard evolutionary explanation for our solar system is that it formed from a swirling cloud of gas and dust. About 4.6 billion years ago, this cloud collapsed into a disk shape. The dust condensed into grains, the grains allegedly stuck together to become small rocks, and the small rocks stuck together to become larger rocks. But a major problem for this view is that fast moving rocks are more likely to bounce off each other rather than stick.
Problem 1. It makes definite predictions about the chemical composition of Jupiter. However, back in 1995, the Galileo spacecraft dropped a probe into Jupiter’s atmosphere. Evolutionists were shocked to discover that Jupiter’s atmosphere contained high amounts of certain gases (argon, xenon, and krypton). Evolutionary models say that these elements can’t be there in such high concentrations.
As one report by an evolutionary astronomer explained:
‘Jupiter is the largest of all the planets. But results … now reveal the embarrassing fact that we know next to nothing about how—or where—it formed.’Problem 2. This model requires Jupiter to have a rocky large core—with 10 to 30 times as much mass as the entire Earth. But the Galileo spacecraft discovered that Jupiter’s core can’t be this large—not even close. At most, it would be only as massive as six Earths. It might also not exist at all.
Problem 3. The model requires at least 10 million years for enough rocks and gas to accumulate to form Jupiter. Some scientists say it would take even longer—several hundred million years at least. But scientists also acknowledge that a disk of dust and gas wouldn’t have lasted around our sun for that long. Many scientists believe that such a disk would have dissipated in less than 5 million years—leaving no time for Jupiter to form.
Problem 4. Even if the gas/dust disk lasted long enough, we still wouldn’t get a Jupiter from it. Recent computer simulations have revealed a devastating problem with the core accretion model. As gas giants formed within the disk, they would have interacted gravitationally with the dust remaining in the disk. It turns out that these interactions would pull the developing planets inward, towards the sun.
So both Jupiter and Saturn would have swirled inwards until they slammed into the sun. And this would occur ‘quickly’ in evolutionary terms: only 300,000 years after they started to form.
Obviously, according to evolution, Jupiter shouldn’t be there at all.
Pity the poor evolutionist who is so committed to a bankrupt theory that he cannot see his own Creator’s handiwork in this majestic planet.
Truly, Jupiter’s size, beauty, and grandeur are a wonderful testament to our Creator—the God of the Bible, who not only made the stars and planets, but also us!" CMI
