Creation Moment 1/19/2022 - Case Study of b Centauri system & Wrong Starting Point

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God....
Hebrews 11:3
 
"Just 325 light-years away from Earth is the Centaurus constellation, which hosts a binary (two-star) star system.

Discovered by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large

Telescope, b Centauri b is found in the “hottest planet-hosting system that we know of.” It orbits the star from far away—over 100 times the distance between our solar system’s gas giant, Jupiter, and the sun. Ten times the size of Jupiter, it’s reportedly one of the “largest new worlds that humanity has discovered” with one of the largest orbits.

But what’s really interesting about b Centauri b is that the binary system to which it belongs is extremely hot and massive (the two stars are six to ten times heavier than our sun), which “doesn’t make sense for planets to have formed within it. As such, scientists are perplexed at how this new world formed.” 

 

Scientists say the heat from the two stars in the b Centauri system should work against the formation of new worlds or planets. Likewise, the sheer mass of the system should have a negative effect as well . . .

One of the most perplexing things about this new world is the fact that the large mass and heat from the two stars should be creating enough high-energy radiation that anything around it starts to evaporate faster. However, this planetary discovery goes against everything we currently know about planet formations.

Yet another discovery goes against everything we currently “know! That’s because ideas about planetary evolution are not based in observational science (after all, no one has observed a planet forming!) but on historical science (not directly observable, testable, or repeatable).  

And because the vast majority (but not all!) of astronomers and cosmologists start with the wrong starting point of stellar evolution and millions of years, they come to wrong conclusions about what happened in the past." AIG
