"An unusual white dwarf discovered relatively near the solar system
“defies current explanation” as it is “colder than it should be”. Called DES J2147-4035, its relative coolness (only a few thousand degrees) suggests to evolutionists that it is about 10 billion years old. But that is many billions of years older than the “much younger stars” in that region of the galaxy, leaving them baffled.

This
latest evolutionary conundrum comes on top of many years of argument
between cosmologists about the age of the universe.
A 2013 Hubble
telescope measurement of another star, HD 140283, dubbed the ‘Methuselah
Star’ as it is presumed to be the oldest in the universe, put its age
at about 14.5 billion years old (with a supposed error range either side
of 0.8 billion years). But that would mean it is older than the
universe, presumed by many cosmologists to be “only” 13.77 billion years
old (error range 0.04).
While cosmologists, astrophysicists and the like furiously debate the
merits of what estimates to use in order to try to remove the problem
of impossibly conflicting ages, it is the Maker’s eyewitness account
that trumps any human ‘measurements’.
The heavens do indeed “declare the
glory of God” (Psalm 19:1),
thwarting human attempts to naturalistically explain away His
handiwork. The earth was created on Day 1 of Creation Week only about
6,000 years ago, with the sun, moon and stars created after that on Day
4." CMI
