Many clock-like processes operating
in the solar system and beyond indicate that the universe is young. For
example, spiral galaxies should not exist if they are billions of years old.
The stars near their centers rotate around the galactic cores faster than stars
at the perimeters. If a cosmology based on long ages is correct, they should
have blended into disk-shaped galaxies by now.
Comets pose a similar problem. They
lose material each time they pass around the sun. Why would they still exist
after vast eons? Saturn’s rings still look new and shiny. And many planets and
moons are very geologically active. Surely the energy they continually expend
should have been spent long ago if they are as old as they are usually claimed
to be.
Instead, the more astronomers learn
about the heavens, the more evidence there is that the universe is young.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
