Creation Moment 11/19/2023 - Failed Predictions of Evolutionary Astronomy/cosmology

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 
Job 38:3

"It is interesting that the entrenched belief in ‘deep time’ frequently undergirds the failed predictions/expectations.

Prediction: the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR)
should be lumpy, but it is extremely smooth. So, evolutionary cosmologists invented a miraculous period of ‘
inflation’ (the rescue device) to try to account for this.

Prediction: there would be no preferential plane or axis or position in the universe (the cosmological principle; the universe is homogeneous and isotropic). However large-scale galaxy surveys point to our galaxy being in a preferred position; this is commonly referred to as the ‘axis of evil’, because it is such a problem for evolutionary cosmology.

Prediction: the universe contains a lot of ‘dark matter’, which is mysterious stuff that is very difficult to detect but nevertheless
creates a lot of gravitational force. Galaxies seemed to need this to explain the rotational speeds of stars. The big bang also needs this to have a ghost of a chance of forming any stars. The case for dark matter was considered so strong that all that was left to do was find it; hence a multibillion-dollar industry developed to build ever more sensitive particle detectors, which in 40 years have turned up nothing. Now it seems that
a thorough application of Newtonian mechanics to galaxy star orbits explains them without dark matter. That leaves the hypothetical big bang cosmic evolution story as the only reason for keeping the notion of dark matter.

Prediction: a lot of ‘dark energy’ exists in the Universe. This is more mysterious stuff needed by big bang cosmology whereby the red-shifted radiation from distant objects is interpreted to mean that they are accelerating away from us. This acceleration needs energy: hence ‘dark energy’. There is no evidence for such dark energy, despite looking ‘hi and lo’ for it.

Prediction: distant galaxies would not be spiral galaxies—because they would be ‘young’ and not have had enough time to wind into
spirals. 
In similar vein, astronomers were surprised to discover a very distant (= ‘young’ in stellar evolutionary terms) galaxy with heavier elements present, which were not expected based on cosmic evolutionary theories (big bang, etc.). The findings of the James Webb Space Telescope have seriously compounded this problem.
Prediction: there would be no magnetic fields on planets that should be cold and dead due to their size and supposed billions-of-years age. They have magnetic fields." CMI
