Creation Moment 3/16/2026 - Planets have purpose

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Hebrews 11:3

"Evidence throughout the galaxy points to other stellar systems (the planets orbiting other stars) being very chaotic. Those planets have highly elliptical orbits, and are generally much closer to the star than those in our own solar system, i.e. well inside the ‘Goldilocks zone’

where life is possible. 

Medium-sized planets are common in other systems, but there are no medium-sized planets in our solar system; instead, we have gas giants and ice giants on one hand, and small rocky planets like our Earth on the other. 

Using the Nice model, scientists previously found that the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn regulate the orbits of the small inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars), and have prevented them from becoming unstable and falling closer to the Sun." CMI
