Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God....
Hebrews 11:3
"A new large gas-giant planet, the size of Neptune, has been found
‘too close’ to its parent star, which is why astronomers were shocked to discover it.
‘too close’ to its parent star, which is why astronomers were shocked to discover it.
---According to known planetary formation theory, it just shouldn’t
exist. To add to that, it has been determined to have a mass 20 times
that of Earth and a surface temperature of about 1,000°C. No wonder it
has been dubbed the ‘Forbidden Planet’ that would “melt a human in under
a second”.
---Being as hot as it is, if it were tens of millions of years old as
evolutionary theory suggests, then, being mostly gas, this should have
nearly completely evaporated from the strong, hot radiation from the
nearby star.
The research leader, Dr Richard West from the University of Warwick,
explained: “This planet must be tough, it is right in the zone where we
expected Neptune-sized planets could not survive.”
But there it is anyway! This should surely cause a rethink in the
standard model of planetary formation theory.
A simple explanation is
that it is not so old, and that the Creator is responsible for the wide
variety He has placed in the heavens."
