Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God...
Hebrews 11:3
"Every known planet has an orbit that lines up with the equator of its
star—except, apparently, planet XO-3b.
Observations indicate that XO-3b’s orbit is
tilted by 70 degrees.
This poses a problem for evolutionary ideas about the origins of planets.
The widely accepted theory is that they “coalesced from rotating discs of material and were gradually
dragged inwards to their orbits by friction with leftover gases.”
So astronomers are suggesting that XO-3b was knocked into its
“cock-eyed orbit” by another planet bumping into it billions of years
ago.
But such a planet would have had to have been huge to have had such
an effect, as XO-3b has the mass of 12 Jupiters.
What’s more,
astronomers say that such an event should have
caused a gravitational wobble in the star, but no such wobble has been
detected." CMI
