101 Reasons for a Young Earth SERIES: 74

Q: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding.
A: For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
 being understood by the things that are made, .....so that they are without excuse:
Job 38:4/Romans 1:20
"Methane on Titan (Saturn’s largest moon)—the methane should all be gone because of UV-induced breakdown. The products of photolysis should also have produced a huge sea of heavier hydrocarbons such as ethane. An Astrobiology item titled “The missing methane” cited one of the Cassini researchers, Jonathan Lunine, as saying, “If the chemistry on Titan has gone on in steady-state over the age of the solar system, then we would predict that a layer of ethane 300 to 600 meters thick should be deposited on the surface.” No such sea is seen, which is consistent with Titan being a tiny fraction of the claimed age of the solar system (needless to say, Lunine does not accept the obvious young age implications of these observations, so he speculates, for example, that there must be some unknown source of methane)."
