Do stars and planets accrete
out of dust?
*
WASP (Wide Area Search for Planets) monitors stars looking
for dips in their light output.
Regularly spaced dips are thought to be evidence that a planet passed
in front of the star.
WASP-17 is an F6 type star about 1000 light years distant. F stars are
white, weak in H and high
in metal spectra. Scientists believe that a large planet (WASP-17b -
average density supposedly
like Styrofoam) orbits every 3.7 days with a tilt of ~150
degrees - retrograde orbit from the
rotation of the star. David Anderson from Keele U. and Amaury Triaud
from the Geneva
Observatory speculate that WASP-17b was involved in a collision to make
it orbit backwards.
Another planet HAT-P7-b (from Kepler data) may also have a retrograde
orbit.
Why do they imagine a collision turned the orbit upside down?
Many scientists assume
that stars condensed out of the debris from a big bang. Allan
Guth claims the big bang
debris cloud became lumpy because the cloud first moved faster than
light, called hyper
expansion. Later the gas rotated around the lumpy parts, falling in to
form stars and planets and galaxies. Our
Sun rotates the same direction as the planets orbit. The Sun contains
99.9 % of the matter in the
solar system but only 2% of the rotary momentum. A diver pulls his arms
and legs in - to spin
faster and stretches them out to slow down. If scientific stories about
condensing clouds are right,
the Sun should have most of the angular momentum - instead of the
planets.
The Bible has principles of physics that directly contradict the
principles of science. According to
the Bible, the creation is in bondage to phthora. The Greeks used
phthora (in the context of earth
history) for continuous changes in the properties of all things. We can
see with our eyes that no
perpetual motion atoms exist in billions of ancient galaxies. We also
see a biblical cosmic history
- that the stars CONTINUALLY come out, spread out, go from dense to
cloud-like, the visible
stars spreading out like a tent. Nowhere is there visible evidence for
star accretions,
condensations, density waves, black holes swallowing stars etc.
Galaxies visibly began as tiny,
naked objects packed with primordial stars. We observe at many ranges
(eras) how the stars
accelerated out to form local growth spirals. Galaxies cannot grow into
growth spirals unless the
properties of matter are emerging, which we confirm on Earth's expanded
surface. The earth has a 70,000 kilometer expansion seam where fresh
lava continually produces new earth crust.
The difference between science and the Bible is very great indeed.
Science was constructed on
the idea that the properties of matter are fixed.
Because
scientists define ideas about
time, matter and their measuring units with atomic perpetual motion,
they are forced to fill the
universe with invisible magic. The scientific universe is 99% invisible
to obfuscate cosmic history. Scientists must invent a mythical universe
to protect
their creed that the
properties of matter are NOT emerging.
The Biblical first principle is confirmed by the fact that visibly all
matter changes as it ages.
Countless clocks, atomic and inertial (galaxy orbits), are observed
visibly to accelerate
throughout cosmic history. Repeatedly the Bible states that the stars
come out in unbroken
continuity. God says I continually call the stars to come out and none
are missing. He even says
there is one place where knowledge is available to all - the shamayim
raqiya - the spreading out heavens. Look at galactic history and marvel
at His great power and
wisdom.
He even makes
science foolish for His great glory! Think about it!

An F star is white and slightly larger than the Sun. It lies on the
line in the graph that scientists call the 'Main Sequence".
